One thing I like about North Dakota

It's quiet and peaceful. It's like anti-stress. It's so relaxing here. Nothing ever happens here, and that can be good for those who just want to relax and take life easy. God knows that if everyone knew our state's little secret, tons of people from Maine to California would be migrating here wanting to take it easy and have a relaxing life. And then it wouldn't be the relaxing and peaceful place it once was, because tons more people would be here cluttering it up.

So thank you America, for not moving to North Dakota. We like it nice and quiet here.:)

1. A lot of the rural midwest is that way.

And in a lot of places you're not too far away from a population center so you can enjoy things a larger city has to offer.

4. Oh, don't get me wrong, Fargo has everything a big city has.

Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 08:04 PM by SmileyBoy

For a metro of 200,000, Fargo-Moorhead has about everything that a metro of half a million has. Which is understandable, because it's the largest city between Minneapolis and Boise from east-west, and between Winnipeg and Omaha from north-south.

You can have your -30 winters all to yourselves.

3. Nothing personal

But I think I would probably go insane living there, even more so than I already am.

8. I wouldn't fit in if I lived in Florida neither.

We're all raised in different parts of the world, and as a result, we're used to different kinds of cultures and climates. Just a part of diversity, I guess. I'm used to cold-ass winters and isolation. You're not.

Windy freezing winters, hot humid mosquitoey summers, Intl Peace Gardens, farmers grain coop. Good place? You bet. (I thought it was the largest city between Mpls and Seattle)
