What exactly do you want to know about Minot? I was stationed there two and a half years.

Why don't you tell me how you define "good". I think I'm crazy in a good way. I don't pack around heads in a bowling bag or anything like that. I'm harmless... plus, I have a sense of humor. BAM!
Do you hand out applications?

Hmmmmmmmm... that could be me. I'd have to look in the mirror to find out.
I'm more of a spontaneous kind of girl. I could be considered eccentric because I like the backwoods of Montana/Idaho and I like to fish. I don't like crowds of people. I'd stroke if I lived in a big city. My friends think I'm psycho because I don't like to shop.
Maybe I am psycho. In a good way.

Keep in mind, I'm from a major metropolitan area. To me, Minot was culture shock.
The weather is something. Tornados in the summer and cold, cold, cold in the winter, -20s kind of cold. I worked outside frequently and one night it hit -60 ambient, -100 with the wind. And lots of snow.
I lived on base, but the town wasn't that far. The mall is ok, and there is a cute little shopping area on Main Street. I don't really know about the economy. I do remember the city council working on a revitalization plan.
There were a few good clubs when I was there. One, and I can't rememeber the name, did comedy and had kareoke (which is comedy in it's own right). Another place had live music that was pretty good.
I did like the people. The weather is no joke. You don't screw around in it and these folks didn't. The community just struck me as very straight up, hard-working, honest people without a lot of the bs I see where I'm from.
Hope that helps.

The entire state has fewer people than the metro area I live in. I wouldn't move there unless you already had a job...

I grew up near Fargo.
The land is perfectly flat, you can tell how far off something is by where it is in proportion to farmsteads and tree lines. The county roads are laid out in one mile increments, so the Johnson farm is two miles away, the Svenson farm is four miles away, and the Johannes farm was six miles away.
Hot as fuck in the summer. You can see dust devils coming across the field. The big thing was to get in front of it and let it go through you.
Farm girls look damn good in faded blue jean cut-offs.
Cold as shit in winter. The coldest I ever saw was 40 below with a windchill of 100 below. My car barely started. I had a manual shift and couldn't even move it for ten minutes until the car warmed up. I saw a lot of broken axles on the road that day. If it is below zero, warm your car up for at least five minutes, preferably ten.
When its fucking cold outside, its better to be hot fucking inside.
Really cold snow crunches when you walk on it. The louder the crunch, the colder it is.
Always carry survival gear in your car, and keep you gas tank over half full. Snow can be melted and drank, MRE's are good in the trunk, have multiple layers of clothing, and remember toilet paper.
Who knows what a combine is, and why is it called that.
The steam thresher reunion has a great pancake breakfast.
If North Dakota was an independent nation, it would be the world's third largest nuclear power.
Its windy. Very windy.
Salt belongs on the street, not popcorn.
During winter, all cars are white with street salt. You don't dare wash them, the doors might freeze shut.
The most popular Halloween costume is a parka.
I like lefse dipped in Hershey's syrup.
Go Bison!

People don't know shit about MT (A hijack)
I love Montana, the land. I hate Montana, the political scene. North Dakota has a lot of cops, so don't speed. Montana doesn't have many cops, but the ones we do have are in under cover and extremely fast cars. We have a few psychos, true. But we don't boast. I can drive 30 minutes and hit the slopes. I can drive 15 minutes and go rafting. I can walk half a mile and play folf on the best course in the northwest. I can walk six blocks and be in federal court. I can drive for eight hours and swim in the largest glacially-fed inland lake in the nation. I can bike for twenty minutes and be in the country amidst the Yellowstone River. Ducks land in my yard, deer eat my peonies. Antelope wander the golf course. I can see the sky. I can see mountains to one side and plateaus on the other. People are friendly, even if they don't use their turn signals. The summers are sunny, the winters are snowy. Many movie stars find a niche here, and live very close by. Mel Gibson lives about an hour west of me. Tom Cruise thinks it's fun to sky dive here. The unabomber thought Lincoln was pretty cool. Sometimes we have a speed limit, sometimes we don't. We have a female governor who sucks balls.
So, the point of this little post is that every state has great and horrible elements. Oh yeah, and we have Walmart and a state fair, but we don't have tractor pulls.

Yeah, I'm bumping a 2 month old thread. So what?
I was born and raised in rural North Dakota. I was a farm boy until my father finally got smart, sold all the equipment and just rented out the land.
After high school, I went to school at NDSU for 2 years, but they kind of told me not to come back because I didn't pay them. So I moved to minnesota. After 2 years here, I've had enough and I'll be back in Fargo by the end of the month.
There is just a cool vibe you get being in ND. For me, it just feels like home.
In the spring and fall you see lots of tractors out in the fields. Go ahead and honk and wave, they'll wave back.
If you come across a bunch of guys wearing bright colored clothes, listening to strange music, and carrying guns, you don't have to worry about getting shot. It's not a gang, just some hunters.
Golfing. North Dakota is the only place that you can drive to a golf course, not have to worry about reserving a tee-time, green fees are on the honor system, and you'll have the whole course to yourself.
There are no villiages, hamlets, or suburbs. Fargo, Grand Forks, Bismark, Jamestown, Minot, and Williston are cities. Everything else is a town. People from Whapeton, Devils Lake, and Valley City might disagree with that, but they suck.
The only racism is directed at pollacks and swedes, and most of the time it's coming from other pollacks and swedes.
I'd get into a car with a drunk North Dakotan before I got in with a sober Californian who had to drive on ice.
Jim Lauerman's. 'Nuff said.
A wedding dance at the Leigon gets wilder than any rave. Especially with an open bar.
Causual means throwing a baseball cap on so you don't have to comb your hair.
Speaking of caps, you know those gay-ass trucker hats with the mesh back that are trendy these days? You can go down to the farmer's union and they'll give you one for free. They are not cool, that's why they are free.
Three words. Hamilton County Fair.
Very few dirty-ass hippies.
Roger Maris is worshipped as a God.
In spite of what the Canadians say, we have the tallest structure in the world. As a matter of fact we have the TWO tallest structures in the world. You can stick that freestanding phallic symbol of your inadequacies up your ass.
Everyone has at least one good drinking story.
The two nearest large cities are Minneapolis and Winnepeg. One of them is in a strange foreign land, filled with goofy-ass people and their goofy-ass ways. The other is in Canada.
