Missed Connections in Montana: John Irving Edition

September 12, 2008 at 12:15 PM | 1 Comment

Before he made his triumphal entrance into the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama did a tour of Montana. But the city of Missoula got even more attention this week for being the site of a bizarre bear-bike hit-and-run incident.

This story has a happy ending because the bicyclist, middle-school science teacher Jim Litz, was picked up by his wife who happened to drive by the crash site. That's so romantic!

When we get married, we hope our spouses will rescue us from that moment when the bike hits the bear. Find that kind of collaborator at one of our hot spots:

Rhinoceros Bar :: Choose a craft beer or a $1.50 Full Moon--you're going to need it for a blistering round of co-ed pool. 158 Ryman Street

Bridge Pizza :: Tall, sexy and hungry? Chow down on the best New York style pizza in Missoula--they even have make-your-own burritos. 600 S. Higgins Ave

Caras Park :: This downtown oasis recently played host to the outdoor music party River City Roots Festival, where preppy boy met dapper dude. On the banks of the Clark Fork River
