‘Save the Merc’ – Missoula community uses social media as platform to support Mercantile

Missoulians are making it known that they do not support a Bozeman company’s proposal to demolish the historic Mercantile building. Whether it is speaking out at city council meetings or engaging in social media, they are not going down without a tough fight.

A new Facebook page called ‘Save the Merc’ https://www.facebook.com/SavetheMerc/?ref=br_rs has become the platform for Missoulians to vent their frustrations with the proposal to demolish the 140-year-old Merc. Over the last couple of days, it’s gained more than 15-hundred likes.
