A once quaint little town in Montana that
time has turned into a grungy western slum. Some residents like to flaunt their long
time generational legacy, but
fail to mention the overwhelming tragedy of that statement. Deer Lodge begins with the lovely McDonald's,
home to all
high school drop outs, and ends with an abandoned prison that numerous tourists passing through and employees of the museum pretend to care about. Deer Lodge consists of a vibrant variety of lowlifes, from the scummy prison inmates, to the unsavory prison employees, to the trashily clad individuals stumbling among the streets from bar to bar at 2am. The poverty-stricken town is scattered with tasteful mobile homes and poorly maintenanced architecture. The diverse population exists of poor white
trash, Cowboys with enormous egos, hypocrites, judgemental pricks, racists, drunken farm boys,
ignorant dropouts, unintelligible winers, grammatical failures, potheads, old men who control the town's unchanging atmosphere, and the occasional respectable human being who does not have the resources to
gtfo. Entertainment in Deer Lodge consists of getting drunk at the bar, getting drunk at the rodeo, getting drunk at a friend's house, getting drunk in a field, or getting drunk at a bonfire. Dead end careers, self pity, and a feeling of
pure despair are plentiful in Deer Lodge. If you are interested in becoming a resident of this near ghost town, I suggest you reconsider immediately.
