1. Old cars, new memories: Burn the Point keeps a classic Billings tradition cruising (ktvq.com) — Billings streets filled with hundreds of classic cars this Labor Day weekend as the 22nd annual Burn the Point show and parade drew thousands downtown and raised money for the Chase Hawks Memorial Association. Locals shared memories of the city's old cruising culture while showcasing painstakingly restored vehicles, including the Western Heritage Center's whimsical beer bottle car that's quickly becoming a familiar sight at Billings parades.
2. The Care Behind the Flight (bozemandailychronicle.com) — Billings Clinic MedFlight, with two planes based in Billings, provides around-the-clock critical-care transport for patients across Montana and Wyoming, acting as a mobile intensive care unit when emergencies strike. From ventilator management to mobile ECMO and neonatal transports, the team's advanced capabilities and training visits to rural hospitals help ensure Billings-area residents can quickly reach higher-level care when seconds matter.
3. After 57 years, the Billings Gazette leaves a downtown home filled with memories (ktvq.com) — Billings readers will soon see the Gazette's newsroom move from its longtime Broadway home into Granite Tower, marking a major shift for the city's flagship newspaper. Former and current staff reflect on decades of covering Billings from the old building, while emphasizing that strong local journalism remains vital to the community despite a smaller staff and more digital focus.
4. Pretty Potties: BLM brings local art to public park bathrooms (ktvq.com) — A Billings muralist is brightening trailhead outhouses at nearby recreation areas, turning routine bathroom stops into surprising art encounters for locals and visitors. Her Bureau of Land Management-backed "Pretty Potties" now decorate facilities at places like Sundance Lodge near Laurel and Four Dances near Lockwood, adding color and a welcoming feel to heavily used outdoor spots.
