Peace Park Naming Process Sparks Surprisingly Little Peace

The process of naming Downtown Bozeman’s new Peace Park has, ironically, generated what attendees describe as “the opposite of peace” at three consecutive city meetings.

The park, intended to honor local restaurant owner I-Ho Pomeroy’s “spirit of community,” became a flashpoint after fourteen residents submitted competing naming proposals, including “Unity Garden,” “Harmony Square,” “Serenity Plaza,” and one anonymous suggestion simply reading “Stop Fighting About The Park Name Park.”

“I think we can all agree this park should represent togetherness,” said resident Carol Dietrich, before turning to another attendee and saying, “Not like YOUR suggestion, which was frankly offensive.”

I Tried Oat Milk

My wife asked me to try oat milk. I said fine. I’m a reasonable man.

It is not milk. I don’t mean that politically. I mean I poured it into my coffee and the coffee turned a color I’ve never seen before. A defeated color. I drank it because I said I would, then I drove to Town & Country and bought a half gallon of 2% like a person who hasn’t lost his mind.

Downtown Parking Spot Listed at $375,000; Realtor Describes It as 'Cozy'

A single parking space on West Main Street has been listed for sale at $375,000, marking what local real estate analysts are calling “a new milestone in Bozeman’s ongoing relationship with the concept of money.”

The space — a 9-by-18-foot rectangle of asphalt located between a pottery studio and a restaurant that changes concepts every four months — was listed Tuesday by Gallatin Valley Properties with the description: “Rare downtown opportunity. South-facing. Mountain views (if you stand on your car). Steps from dining, shopping, and existential crisis.”
