Ty's Take
The Eagles Nest has been part of Red Lodge's skyline longer than most of us have been alive, and watching it sit there broken after last year's floods has been like watching a neighbor's house fall into disrepair—you keep hoping someone will fix it, and you keep knowing they won't. The town's FEMA application to tear it down isn't giving up on the place, not exactly; it's accepting what the water did and moving forward. Sometimes the most honest thing a community can do is clear the wreckage and build again, and there's no shame in that. Meanwhile, the Rotarians are out there doing what they always do—picking up after all of us—which is maybe the best reminder that Red Lodge works because people still show up for the work. That matters more than any old building.
