BigGame Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 North Dakota's general population are good, hard working, common sense people. Those are all hard to come by where I currently live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedGrn Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I love the fact that in 20 minutes or less, you can get away from everyone, even though the people here are generally honest, hard-working, good-hearted people. The air is fresh. We still have most of the modern conveniences that all those big city folk have even though we are considered "remote". The hunting and fishing are abundant. Not to say that I don't like the action of larger cities, but I like the "slower" speed. Just a lot of things that a person can't quantify because they've just been living that way all their life...

BigGame Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 but I like the "slower" speed. Just move to a southern city, the pace is much slower down here (exception being the traffic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthDakotaHockey Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Other than the Fighting Sioux, what do you all like best about living in North Dakota? Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The women are the kindest hearted, most even-keeled, and absolutely the best looking that could ever be found anywhere on the planet.

Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Less people, less bad people! Open air, outdoor activities. No rush hour traffic. Like someone posted above, all the big city things without the big city. I like the population as it is, as the old timers say, ND keeps the riff raff out! I moved back here from a big city.

airmail Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Old fashioned standards and a common sense mentality. It's the kind of place where someone will bake something and bring it over to their new neighbor. Yes, we have a**holes too, but the good far outnumber the bad. I've had many opportunities to leave, but I wouldn't raise my kids anywhere else in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxnami Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Red Pepper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 I hope I'm not sorry asking this question, but what is red pepper? I've heard of hush puppies,pasties, and elephant ears, but not a red pepper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'd say the people here are the best. They tend to help people they don't know. Slid off the road near Reynolds, ND on my way back to Grand Forks and 5 cars stopped to ask if I needed to use their cell phones. I have had people give me money when I came up just short. People give tickets to events if they have extras. It was very nice. I've also been impressed with the schools. Teachers rank 48th or 49th on the national pay scale but the waiting lists in Grand Forks and Fargo area school districts are a mile long.

747Guy Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I am not a native of North Dakota (went to school at UND.. 5 year program) I like North Dakota (Grand Forks) for the following reasons: 1) Slower pace of life. 2) Friendly people. 3) Bucks on Fridays. 4) Red Pepper. 5) Sioux Hockey at the Ralph (old and new) 6) Smell of Simplot (just kidding) 7) No hastle airport. 8) Winters (no really!) 9) Duck hunting 10) Sioux Hockey at the Ralph (I know it's here twice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 My kids would get on their bikes and be gone for hours and I never panicked (well, ok, once). My sister (who still lives in Chicago) would be dialing 911 if she didn't see her kids for 15 seconds. They couldn't go to school, the neighborhood park, the movies, to friends' houses (unless they were relatives) without a parent until they turned 21<<for good reasons! I love Chicago and go home (home is where your mom is) often but Grand Forks is were I've planted my roots. UND season Hockey and Football tickets are two reasons why I'll probably never leave. Having to fly anywhere via Minneapolis is a pain but we can fly anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
