'1923' wins Outstanding Location award
We can credit this win to the whole town, and that comes directly from one of the people who won it. Paramount's "1923", which used the Mining City as a primary shooting location, won the 2023 Location Managers Guild International's award for Outstanding Location in a Period Television Series over the weekend, beating strong competition from Peaky Blinders, Perry Mason, SEE and Westworld.
Remember any of these old Butte sports teams?
Remember any of these old Butte sports teams?
With the American Legion baseball regular season coming to a close, Butte sports fans are going to be without baseball for the latter part of the summer. Again. With the exception of whatever in the hell you want to call the Mining City Tommyknockers' season a few years back, we have to go way back to the days of the Copper Kings when talking about August baseball. And the Copper Kings exit was no walk in the park either. Casper, Wyoming, you can kiss my antennae. And by default, you too, Grand Rapids. But this got me to thinking not only about the Tommyknockers and the Copper Kings, but about the number of other franchises not only in baseball but in other sports as well that have come and gone here in the Mining City. Remember the Daredevils? The Butte Irish? Anyone? Anyone?

Here we are the Friday before the 4th and we're not even officially into July yet preparations for the big day are underway. Here are some of the telltale signs you'll see around town.
