Since this sub forum is normally kind of dead, I thought I'd liven it up a little! (And no, I'm not entered into the stupid contest citydata has going on).
What are some of your favorite towns/cities in ND (any size) and why?
There are some real hidden gems in ND, so I thought I'd try to give them some PR!
Haha - I was wondering the same thing! Apparently, no one has a favorite! I did not want to list mine until others had chimed in, but I will go ahead - maybe it will get the ball rolling!
Bottineau (including Lake Metigoshe area) - neat, "compact" little town, and the area just North of there is beautiful in the Winter.
Devils Lake - it's not exactly a booming metropolis, but it's clean, welcoming, and everyone I've met there has been extra friendly.
Bismarck - Just a good, well kept up city, and the airport is nice.
Agree about Bottineau - that is a very nice town!
I lived in ND for almost 40 years and never made it to Devils Lake! Maybe I will go there on my next visit.
You are right about Bismarck too... I believe it is the cleanest of ND's major cities. The only real complaint I have with Bismarck is the roads - bad condition and insufficient to handle the extra traffic that has come in since the oil boom hit several years ago. But yes, a clean city with a nice airport.
Bismarck a clean city LOL. There are large areas of Bismarck that are pretty much waiting for the bulldozer. Bismarck still thinks that very run down trailer parks are a solution to affordable housing.
Fargo/Moorhead & suburbs have 1/4th of a million population, so it's the only area that feels like a real city.

F/M as I said for living, but many other cities at least have enough of interest for a day visit. And I don't know how many could feel entertained in a town of 500 for even 24 hours.

Lehr is damn near a ghost town these days. It seemed like the only thing open was the bank and the bar. It even looks like the elevator don't see much use anymore.
Streeter is a little busier, but the old school is a damn shame. It's really gone to hell.
I think Wishek is a little hidden gem close to Lehr
