Yes, it is cold, and yes, it is rural, but that is a small price to pay for living in a place where you dont hear gunshots every night, where you dont have to worry about your car being stolen or vandalized, or get stuck in traffic jams. There are fifty different states and many different cities in North America, and what is right for one person isnt right for another, but for me, I miss that area. I miss it so much that I am about to quit college and move back there next month. North Dakota is still the America of the 1950's or before in many ways, and for a straight White male such as myself, that is definitely a good thing.

danwlewis, very well said... Yes, ND is cold and rural but in the more rural areas of the state, it's nice for those who like a safer, quieter place to live with a good quality of life and slower pace of life.

We moved back to ND after 40 years. Its been a welcome change to wave back to everyone you meet on the highway, and get to pre-pump your gas before paying for it. Something that would never happen in California!!!...  |

Last year I was able to pump my gas in NoDak before paying for it. I haven't experienced that in the Chicago area for nearly 10 years. I was shocked to see this and it speaks to how honest most people are in that area of the country. |
