The SCOOP in Butte, MT

For the 4th of July this year I went home to Butte, MT and spend almost a week there seeing friends and family. It was an amazing trip for me mostly because my husband was able to finally see where I grew up. But more than anything, it brought me back to my roots and I was able to understand and appreciate more where I grew up and where I am from, I am a Butte Girl and that I will honor from this day forward.  

One thing on this trip we did was what my  mother calls slumming....it cracks me up but it sure isn't CLUBBING....So in Butte I guess it is slumming.  I slummed a lot as a teen so this night was particularly exciting for me because I not only went slumming with my husband and my dad I for the first time slummed in Butte legally. YES I slummed in Butte as a teen and got away with it!! 

Not totally proud of my teenage shenanigans but this gave me the opportunity to see where our City of Butte has come in 27 yrs.  I don't remember if I ever slummed at the SCOOP but on this night we did.  It was a great time because of the future new owner who we met.  John Anderson....

John has this dream to buy the SCOOP and bring back BUTTE...... but a more cultured to TECH Butte. He's reinvented the back where you have an outside bar and a bbq along with a volleyball court. I was impressed.  John is 26 yrs old and has a dream, a dream to make Butte Better!!  Some of you might think that building a bar better may not be the best for Butte, ...........This is the SCOOP, part of Butte everything! The SCOOP must not ever go away but be better! 

Then I looked up~~ I couldn't believe it there was signed money on the ceiling...Well I knew exactly what I needed to do....sign some money and stick it on the ceiling!! 

 This was a fabulous time and experience talking with John and I hope the best for him and his business partner! I am looking forward to returning and spending more time at the SCOOP Legally now!
