LOVING
Livingston
by BILL MUHLENFELD
I
S IT THE REGULAR RUMBLE AND BLARE OF FREIGHT TRAINS, THE NEON
STARE OF THE MURRAY HOTEL, THE 1950S FEEL OF THE DOWNTOWN?
Or is it the sprouting of trendy restaurants, the new hospital, and a revitalized mission
for (even) more parks and trails? e grudging creep of modernity may be making its
way through Livingston, Montana, though there seems to be little sacrifice when it
comes to the city's vital character and stubborn authenticity.
