Downtown Black Ash Trees Replaced
The Downtown Business Improvement District board is
funding the replacement of over a dozen Black Ash trees. The BID is working in conjunction with
Cashman's Nursery and the City of Bozeman
Forestry Division to complete this tree replacement
program this fall. The tree replacement
work will be coordinated in an effort to minimize any disruptions to the
businesses and the adjacent sidewalks.
Most
of the Black Ash trees planted in the downtown district have died due to
disease. Black Ash were identifies as a
recommended "boulevard" tree by the City of Bozeman Forestry Division, but the
species has been hit hard by a non-native pest, the Cottony Ash Psyllid. These very small insects (3mm in length) have
slowly migrated from the east coast, where they were first detected in the
early 1920's. The insects were detected
in Minnesota
back in 1993. Now there are outbreaks as
far west as Montana. read more

Downtown's Ellen Theatre Comes Back to Life
The Ellen Theatre, in the heart of Bozeman's
historic downtown district, was built by the Nelson family in 1919 at 17 West Main Street,
just west of the Golden
Rule Building.
Designed by renowned architect Fred Willson, the theatre was named for Ellen
Trent Story, wife of Nelson Story who, in the mid-1800s, helped bring cattle
ranching to the area. As a sign of the family's wealth and prestige, no expense
was spared in the construction of this 700-seat grand showplace, including
perfect acoustics, a stunning crystal chandelier and a grand balcony.
In 1930, the theatre was closed for a few months for a lavish
remodel. A more modern art-deco marquee replaced the original lattice and
stained glass version. At the same time,
the interior of the auditorium was given a remarkable makeover, with ornate
plaster moldings, gold-leaf carvings, red satin wall panels and decorative
jeweled accents. Over the next few
decades, Montana State University
utilized the theatre, along with local acting troupes, town bands, and local
school pageants. In the late 1950s the marquee changed again, keeping up with
the times and became neon. The Ellen
Theatre continued to be
an important community gathering place, hosting symphony concerts, school plays
and even weddings.read more
