🏆 Most popular this week

Curated by popular demand — here are this week’s most-clicked events, local spots, and stories.

A maze of memories: Montana Antique Mall turns an afternoon into a treasure hunt, with vendor spaces, wood floors, and shelves of vintage finds, books, and travel ephemera in downtown Missoula — read the full story.

High-profile hospitality sale: Plonk’s downtown Missoula building was listed for $4 million, offering a three-level space with a terrace and an all-beverage gaming license. The brand may be licensed separately pending approval — see what’s included in sale.

Northmarq brokers portfolio deal: Three Missoula multifamily properties with 41 apartments and 24,048 square feet of commercial space were sold, ending a long-term hold by the seller and marking a notable change in ownership — get all the deal details.

Upcoming highlights and happenings: February is packed in Missoula, with the Foresters’ Ball and the firefighters’ showdown already over, the Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Montana, and Ian Munsick and Winter Brewfest still to come — check out the full lineup.

Growth rules get a reset: Missoula City Council voted in January 2026 to remove all minimum parking requirements for new developments, first in Montana, aiming to support denser projects and modernize zoning across city neighborhoods — read the full story.

Record-breaking run continues: Post Malone and Jelly Roll are bringing their Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 to Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula on July 21, 2026. Carter Faith joins the bill. Tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. local time, with VIP packages offered. Get ticket and VIP details.

Gold continues to hold strong: After its best year in decades, gold remains near historic highs as investors look for stability amid inflation and debt. GoldCo has a free guide that covers everything you need to know. They’re also offering up to 10% free gold & silver – check it out here.

One emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ but pet insurance helps. I sure wished I’d had it after a $10k last-minute surgery for my cat (her name is Miss Stache). I learned my lesson and signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

What do people see when they search your name? Search results can surface past mistakes or outdated information that no longer reflects who you are. BetterReputation helps remove and clean up unwanted content so your online presence matches your real life today. Not worried about yourself? Doesn’t hurt to mention it to family or friends who might be.
