So basically the idea is if ND was a mini United States, which cities would be what. Yes this is absurd but I'm bored.
My thoughts:
Fargo: New York - kind of obvious - business capital, largest population, thinks highly of itself, doesn't notice the rest of the state / country.
West Fargo: New Jersey - wants to be New York / Fargo, cheaper than New York / Fargo, still nice compared to most of the rest of the country / state
Bismarck: Not sure. I could go w/ Chicago ("Second City" fits, Chicago also thinks highly of itself) or Los Angeles (second largest population, sort of rival to New York culturally, more laid back than NY, has hills & beaches (i.e. sandbars))
Mandan: No Idea
Grand Forks: Boston: a bit more liberal than the rest of the state, lots of college students. Obsessed with what New York does. New York doesn't notice it
Williston: Houston - obvious
Dickinson: Denver - big energy industry, substitute Rockies for the badlands
Jamestown: No idea
Minot: Not sure - Philadelphia? Wants to be NY, Chicago, or Boston; used to be relatively more important
LOL...poor Jamestown...maybe they could be like Des Moine or Omaha...you know...those cities exist, they are nice, but they don't have any real identity??? Not that Jamestown is bad...but when I think of Jamestown, I think Big Buffalo or State Hospital.
But...I would say Bismarck is more Washington DC...just because it is scenic, has a lot of government agencies and buildings, and basically exists because of the Government. Mandan would be like Fairfax, VA...a place you live, but commute to the capital city to work, shop, dine, etc...

I'd say Jamestown is like DC - you know, a bunch of nuts on the hill?

Hunter ND would definately be little rock arkansas but yeah bored the people here are awesome really no doubt but its soooooooooooooooooo boring my lord its boring. I thought they would have done something by now like build a amusement park or something, anything theres gotta be something to do other than drink yourself stupid and wander around bonanzaville. I see people hanging out at the bus station on NP ave same people every day not going anyware just hanging around.
In all honesty...I think we should keep Fessenden out of this thread...LOL...considering the other post about Fessenden that just won't die!!!! argggggggg!!!
