Missoula. From hipsters to hippies, students to starving artists and all the beautiful people in between, this town is truly the most diverse city in the state of Montana. And it's with that in mind that we took this simple sentence out to our local Facebook network and asked this cities residents and neighbors to fill in the blank. Of course some of the statements are a bit tongue in cheek (and should be considered as such) but others are so dead-on accurate that it truly defines our town to a tee.

When you think of Missoula, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? We invite you to join in on the fun and add your own in the comment field below. Who knows? We might just share it on our radio shows!
