If you didn’t have March 17th marked on your calendar (for more than St. Patrick’s Day), many Greenvillians in the medical field did — after all, it was Match Day 2023; aka when graduating medical students are “matched” with a program where they’ll complete future residency training.
Whether you’re in the medical field or not, Match Day greatly affects the real estate market in areas where there are residency programs, and GVL is one of them. Read: More homes selling + more house hunting.
Head to the Big Sky State for an outdoor adventure in Missoula, MT. | Photo by ATXtoday
ATXtoday City Editor London here. 👋 I go to Missoula pretty regularly to visit my family who lives there, and I can confirm that whether it’s winter, summer, spring, or fall, there’s plenty to do in this picturesque mountain town.
Act like a local:
Drink: Don’t let the name fool you — Plonk is a go-to spot for an elegant, balanced cocktail downtown.
Outdoors: For a view, take a 1.2 mile trek up Mount Sentinel to the ‘M’ or follow the Blodgett Canyon Overlook Trail to a roaring waterfall.
Listen: Despite the city’s smaller size and remote location, Missoula’s stages see big name artists, with upcoming concerts including The Avett Brothers in July and Kane Brown in May.
