Great Falls, MT. I will move here in less than two months. It's a town with a population of 60,000 and sports a Sam's Club, a few breweries, and an amazing greenbelt system along the Missouri River. No, I am not knocking Sam's Club, but I am illustrating how small it is. Originally, I am from a small town in northern Idaho. I love small towns for their friendly neighborhood waves, old movie theaters, and established brick homes.
When driving through downtown one weekend I began noticing all the vintage sign work. It is a great study for anyone interested in graphic design. Most of the signs are dated and . . . beautiful. Old brick buildings weathered by age stand tall, reminiscent of Kellogg. (In a different time both towns housed smelters. No longer.) In this expedition I found some bricks in an alleyway that I had to save for a painting. There is beauty everywhere if you really look.
