About Billings Montana, MT.
Billings is the largest city in the U.S. state of Montana, and the principal
city of the Billings Metropolitan Area. It has a trade area of over half a
million people. Billings is located in the south-central portion of the state
and is the seat of Yellowstone County. The city is experiencing rapid growth and
a strong economy; it has had and is continuing to have the largest growth of any
city in Montana. Parts of the metro area are seeing hyper growth. From 2000 to
2010 Lockwood, an eastern suburb of the city, saw growth of 57.8%, the largest
growth rate of any community in Montana. Billings has avoided the economic
downturn that affected most of the nation 2008–2012 as well as avoiding the
housing bust. With the Bakken oil development in eastern Montana and western
North Dakota, the largest oil discovery in U.S. history, as well as the Heath
shale oil discovery just north of Billings, the city's growth rate stayed high
during the shale oil boom. Although the city is still growing, the rate of
increase has diminished markedly with oil price declines in recent years.
Billings was nicknamed the "Magic City" because of its rapid growth from its
founding as a railroad town in March 1882. The city is named for Frederick H.
Billings, a former president of the Northern Pacific Railroad. With one of the
largest trade areas in the United States, Billings is the trade and distribution
center for much of Montana east of the Continental Divide, Northern Wyoming, and
western portions of North Dakota and South Dakota. Billings is also the retail
destination for much of the same area. With more hotel accommodations than any
area within a five-state region, the city hosts a variety of conventions,
concerts, sporting events, and other rallies. Area attractions include Pompey's
Pillar, Pictograph Cave, Chief Plenty Coups State Park, Zoo Montana, and
Yellowstone Art Museum. Within 100 miles are Little Bighorn Battlefield National
Monument, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Red Lodge Mountain Resort,
and the Beartooth Highway, which links Red Lodge to Yellowstone National Park.
In the 21st century, Billings saw the development of operations centers in the
city's business parks and downtown core by such national companies as GE, Wells
Fargo and First Interstate Bank. It also saw renewed growth in the downtown core
with the addition of numerous new buildings, new parking garages and a new MET
Transit Center, and in 2002 Skypoint was completed. Downtown also saw a
renaissance of the historic areas within the downtown core as building after
building was restored to its previous glory. In 2007, Billings was designated a
Preserve America Community. With the completion of the Shiloh interchange exit
off Interstate 90, the TransTech Center was developed and more hotel development
occurred as well. In 2010 the Shiloh corridor was open for business with the
completion of the Shiloh parkway, a 4.8-mile multi-lane street with eight
roundabouts. More shopping centers were developed in the 21st century. One of
the new centers is Shiloh Crossing, which brought the first Kohl's department
store to Montana. Other new centers include Billings Town Square with Montana's
first Cabela's, and West Park Promenade, Montana's first open-air shopping mall.
In 2009, Fortune Small Business magazine named Billings the best small city in
which to start a business.

birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism.

life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important

the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.

75 so on and so forth.

start putting candles on birthday cakes?
The round cakes represented the moon, with candles adding
light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa
layer cakes were especially popular for first birthdays. In
the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.

do you not celebrate your birthday?

Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its
connections to magic and superstitions.

"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
