Yes it is a small town, we dont lock our doors to our homes, we dont lock our cars, except during zucchini season, and yes we did follow the football team to fargo with great pride. I was born in Ohio and came to North Dakota in 1976. I joke about the small town life, but you know what I love North Dakota. There are things here or actually things that are not here that we dont miss one bit! This man has no idea what he was talking about. There is a feeling you get being a part of a small town that big city people will never understand. I wonder if he personally knows the pharmacist who fills his prescriptions or the guy who changes the oil on his vehicle. I bet he does not know every one of the students in his child's class. We do and those are the things that make up the small town pride. He apparently has never seen the beauty of rural life. I feel bad for the guy he does not know what he is missing.

I just read the article by national geographic about ten minutes ago and was appalled, I can't believe they have the nerve to write such things about our state, and not cover the positive things that occur in North Dakota. They're obviously losing their creditability if they can't even do that. What do they have against North Dakota!?!? haha. Mandi I agree, Hoven’s response is awesome.
