OK I finally have something to contribute. I was born and raised in yes folks .....Helena MT. The Rialto is as old as dirt. I think the same cowboys have been sitting on the same bar stools since the gold rush days. Cool they are building a tiki patio space. I just talked to my dad this morning and they are having a mixed bag of weather for spring but expect sun by next week. Helena gets the same weather that Seattle does , just 2 days later.
Montana is beautiful and they get the regulation amount of summer. I'm sure a tiki patio space at the Rialto will be a big hit. Helena is also a college town so they may be attempting to draw a less mummified crowd.

Helena has lots of history and Last Chance Gulch has been there since the late 1800,s. There's still some great buildings but most of the really amazing architecture has been gone since the blight of urban renewal in the 70's. I remember asking my parents if I could buy one of those old buildings for only $1.
Ive got friends from high school that still live there so I will ask for a report.
