August 3rd would be my first official day of me moving into my new apartment in Whitefish, MT. Now I believe it’s safe to assume that most people, especially most of the folks back in Texas, have never heard of Whitefish, MT. But believe me, in a few years, everyone will know of Whitefish. It’s going to be synonymous with places like Laguna Beach, and LaJolla, CA, Austin, and Plano, TX, and Jackson, WY just to name a few.
Here in Whitefish, there are two kinds of people. Realtors and poor people. Here, the realtors rule, just like in those places previously mentioned. It’s unbelievable how crappy little houses, and I do mean LITTLE, are going for almost a half a million dollars. So, if you’ re into Real Estate, then pack your bags and move to Whitefish now while the pickings are still good.
So enough about my envy problem with realtors, let’s talk about Whitefish and why it is one of the most sought after places to live. Whitefish is what I consider a recreational town. The town has its own version of 6th Street, as far as, night-life activity and live music goes. The only difference is that here all the bars have casinos in them. Then there's Whitefish Lake which is only a few minutes from town and from my place.
Big Mountain Ski and Summer Resort is less than 20 minutes by car from the Town of Whitefish. Every Friday night there is a concert at the summit of Big Mountain with free Gondola ride to the top. The Resort is pretty cool because that are bars and pubs everywhere with outside decks complete with the view of the town of Whitefish, Whitefish Lake, and the rest of the valley. And let's not forget Glacier National Park. The view of the Park from the Summit is simply spectacular.
In downtown Whitefish is where I work. As I mentioned before, I got a job with The Whitefish Pilot, the location newspaper, as a Graphic Artist. The office is right on main street. Up until today, I walked to work everyday. It usually took less than 15 minutes. I believe this is the first time I've ever work at a place that was close enough to walk to. And I must say to, I can get use to this!
Yesterday, I bought a used full suspension mountain bike, so now, I'll be riding my b ike to work. The editor of the Whitefish Pilot, who also lives in the same apartments that I do, also rides a bike to work everyday.
I got a decent deal on a used bike. It has the all latest in bike state-of-the-art gadgetry. Q would be proud. It has an aluminum frame, disc-brakes all around, full suspension all around, the latest in gear shifting, and a whole lot more. All of this for a mere seven hundred dollars. I rode it for the first time around town today and it rode like a Cadillac compared to my last bike back in Texas. The bike needs a little bit of adjusting, but for the most part, it's in fairly good shape. I'm so glad and happy that I got it.
