person of the week...an entire state

While in the AF I was stationed at Minot AFB for four years. It was a great time, personally, since I'm not one to let the cold ruffle my feathers. I stopped at a gas station on my way out afield with windchill howling at -70 below zero. Even the NoDaks working behind the counter said "You must be kidding!" "Nope", I replied..."Just a little crazy is all." :)

The state motto is, "you get out of life what you put into it".....that has been my motto all of my life.....Make fun of us all you want.....But when the chips are down the North Dakotans will come through....We carry the heritage of Teddy Roosevlt......And we are his ROUGHRIDERS.....WE NEVER QUIT....

Best kept secret is right, keeps the movie stars out.

I spent a year living in Grand Forks & cannot really see how youngish single people would be very happy there at all (Especially if coming from larger suburban areas). Few jobs pay well, housing in the city of Grand Forks is not that inexpensive & its rather small town in a bad way. Honestly, every state in the nation will offer the same as G.F. does.

To each his own...

north dakota kicks ass!!

And no income tax :)

FlowerEaters, at least you know that summer's hot in ND. Most people here in the East seem to think it snows there 365 days a year!

I used to live in North dakota... thanks for posting this! I hate it when people talk about ND in a bad way when they havent even been there! Its kinda funny but it is offensive! Go Fighting Soiux!! yea

my husband retired from the army, we choose to return to ND to raise our children. I have found out in the last 2 months I have cancer ,who rallied around my family? the people from my tiny town of 600 people in NORTH DAKOTA raising monrey for us to travel to and from Minot for the next 7 weeks for radaition. Yes we are a cold state but where else would you find the warmest people in the whole world ONLY IN NORTH DAKOTA
