Missoula: Flannel City Face-Off

Grunge rock is more than 20 years in the past, but flannel has never really gone out of style in the Northwest, especially for outdoor wear. And now, Missoula has a chance to prove that by winning the "Flannel City Face-off".

Casual wear clothing brand Duluth Trading Company is sponsoring the online contest giving people a chance to vote for the "Most Flannel City in America". The contest has already moved into the quarterfinals, with the Garden City narrowly bearing Burlington, Vermont in the first round.

Now, Missoula is facing off against Duluth itself, and was trailing by a dozen votes in the balloting through Wednesday morning. Other first round winners included Denver and Cleveland in Missoula's bracket, and Portland, Maine; Charleston, West Virginia; Anchorage and "The U.P.", or Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
