Local Love: A Shoutout to Our Community
Today is a "shout-out" day. One shout-out goes to the City of Billings employees who were working at several temporary drop-off spots for debris from the storms last week. My neighbor and I made a couple of runs to the large pile of trees located by Skyview High School.
