The Missoula Mercantile Building, at the heart of historic downtown Missoula, Montana, is being threatened by the wrecking ball! We are asking the City Council to postpone their hasty decision-making process to allow for a creative solution by the Missoula community that accurately reflects our unique cultural and historic identity.
Why is this important?
I have been a member of the Montana creative community for over four decades. Missoula's downtown has been defined by the distinctive older brick buildings which reflect our history as a small city in the American West. Residents and visitors alike concur that the Missoula Mercantile has contributed to our unique sense of place. The Missoula community is at a crossroads — are we a unique city that honors our creativity and our past or are we Anywhere, USA?
