Chevelle, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Flyleaf, the list goes on. There are alot of good artists, IMO, on the harder side with songs suitable for the radio. If I wanted to listen to the adult contemporary or what ever you want to call it on KATL, I would turn to that station. I guess I was happy with the classic rock you guys were playing.

When I lived in Bozeman, you would pay at least $1000 for a 3-bedroom anything... If you wanted something newer (which was probably a little apartment or condo) you were paying at least $1200 for a 3 bedroom. If you were approved and accepted by the landlord or rental company (which you have to pay a fee for the application) you had to pay first months rent, last months rent, plus a security deposit which equaled one months rent. If you had pets you had to pay an extra $200-$500 per pet security deposit (sometimes non refundable) or a monthly $75 pet rent! I understand that Miles City is not a big city, and you should be glad that you don't deal with what others have to. By the time landlords pay mortgage, insurance, taxes... $1000 is very reasonable for a 3 bedroom HOUSE. Instead of throwing the rent money out the window, why not become a home owner... At least your cash will be going towards something that benefits you. And as someone mentioned previously, if you have bad credit and can't buy a home, I think you have no right to be bitching about rental pries.spacekaceSat, 4 Feb 2012 17:20:08 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/235283/#235377http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/235283/#235376[quote]Retailers have raised their prices in the oil field towns.

You can't find a regular old 1-bedroom apartment in Sidney for under $750/mo, much less a 3-BR house. Finding places to rent in MC has always been difficult. If you think its bad now, be prepared for it to only get worse if/when we get more oilfield activity here. That said--I sympathize with you. I know what its like. Hang in there and hopefully something will work out. Keep talking to people, anyone, because you never know when someone might have something or at least a connection to something for you. And to those suggesting buying, I agree that you might as well if you're in a situation like this, if its possible. I'm in a situation where i would love to stop wasting my $$$ renting and buy. However, there has to be places to buy first...not always a simple thing. Even for folks with great credit--especially a single person--finding a house that is in decent condition and afforable in this town is difficult.ocneSat, 4 Feb 2012 15:46:54 UTChttp://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/235283/#235361http://milescity.com/forums/posts/view/235035/#235358The thing that some people are forgetting here is that all property belongs to someone.
