You Might Be From North Dakota If...

You might be from ND if you watched the movie FARGO and know they were speaking Canadian, not North Dakotan.

You might be from ND if you are aware that FARGO was not filmed in ND.

You might be from ND if you like to, and can, ice fish 6 months of the year.

You might be from ND if you pronounce Lewis and Clarks Indian guides name properly: Sa-ka-ka-we-ah, not Sac-a-we-lee-g-ia

You might be from ND if you know who the king of champagne music is/was and where he was born.

You might be from ND if your hottest styles are made by Carhartt and Under Armour.

You might be from ND if you talk to complete strangers and they congenially talk back to you. Morth Dakota, National Marketing Realtors

And this one for Nicole Doty - Gilbert Real Estate Expert : You might be from ND if half your neighbors move to AZ for the winter.

ND is a great place to live if you like being around other folks who think earning money is a good thing, working hard for your money is a good thing, being friends with your neighbors is a good thing, and loving God and attending worship every Sunday is a good thing.

My Bride asked me to add: You might be from ND if your State has a several Billion dollar surplus in its coffers instead of a deficit.

William Feela thanks neighbor! I'm pretty fond of MN to being I was born there. I'm also a Vikings Fan but have a hard time bragging about them or MN politicians (except Michele Bachmann would have gotten my vote for president last time had she made it).

Bob, This is a fun read. I like the spin you used on the movie. My favorite part: "You might be from ND if you talk to complete strangers and they congenially talk back to you."

Thanks Kathleen Daniels I think neighbors are so friendly here because we are cooped up for 6 months of the year so we are all happy to see a non-relative.

Fargo wasn't filmed in Fargo? Is anything sacred?

As for speaking Canadian, that's not necessarily a bad thing, right?

Don't you all have crazy low unemployment numbers, though that may be too much of a good thing, making the rest of you frustrated at all the out-of-staters who've come to fill the need.

Claude Labbe if I remember correctly there may have been a scene filmed in ND.

We do love our Canadian neighbors here, they are always polite people, they like coming here, and they spend a lot of money.

The super low unemployment has been a blessing, especially for active Realtors. Here in Minot ND we are used to out of State folks because of our Air Force base but I'm guessing that many of the smaller towns are a little less appreciative of new folks coming in and buying up all the property.
