Balta is obviously near the geographic center of the North American continent.
I have never been in North Dakota but Road Runner magazine just did an piece about a motorcycle tour in ND and it seemed like a very peaceful place with interesting scenery.

That's not really something that would make me want to live and work there. |

Balta is west of Silva, so I'm correct....
Also, Silva is considered to be a ghost town, so it would be on the
endangered towns list.... |

When the climate warms enough to grow wine grapes in ND I'll consider living there through the winter. As I get older the winters seem to get colder.

I was told not to post sales to the group. I am terribly sorry. I was warned off list, but thanks for being so nice about it "Roundball" and "Mikeytoo". Which brings me to "jrmontag"'s post.
5) Looking for a place where Wal Mart is not the be-all and end-all of the shopping experience;
Not true, some towns are LUCKY to have Wal Mart just so there IS someplace to shop, sad.
7) Looking for a place where vicious gossip is not the sole entertainment;
So Not true. Small towns are terrible for gossip and hurting people. Sometimes making up untrue things about people.... For entertainment? Not sure.
9. From what I have observed from reading stories in the local papers, many people there still take the time to get to know and help out their neighbors;
True.
