Painting The Town

Gary Momberg and his helper were busy today painting the Curlyco building on main street. The building, formerly the Capital Cafe, had recently been vandalized by someone "tagging" the upper part with spray paint. When the Capital Cafe closed it was the longest continuously operated restaurant in Montana. The cafe was open for at least 65 years at the time of its closing. The present rock and art deco face of the building was installed when a natural gas leak in the kitchen blew the former front out into the middle of Main Street. That accident happened at night when the cafe was not open so no one was injured.

Gary Momberg said that he has been a painter most of his life. His company, Perfection Painting, painted at one of the K-12 buildings, formerly Shelby High, when that building recently went through extensive remodeling. Gary can be reached at 406-949-1795 for your painting needs.
