Have You Lived Here Too Long? (photos)

I've come to the conclusion I've lived here too long.  I mean, it's not a bad thing - I just measure in DECADES now.  I came to this conclusion as I started to describe places around town by noting where something used to be...

I can also tell how long someone else has lived here, by if they recognize the places that I mention.  It's like a game of Trivial Pursuit or a history lesson.  The longer I'm around, the more I seem to remember the "old way".  Going senile, possibly.  Turning into my mother, most definitely!  How does this happen?

And so many more!  This doesn't have to be in just Great Falls, MT.  It can be anywhere - just don't forget to measure your time in decades.  Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me.  And thank you to those business that have stood the test of time and still thrive in the Electric City today ♥
