Small Town North Dakota Life

Have you ever lived in a small town before? I mean, a really small town, a couple of thousand people or less? I know I haven't. I was born and raised in Grand Forks, went to school in Minot for a year, and other than those stops, I've been in the Capital City now for almost 7 years.

But, with that being said, I love visiting our small towns in North Dakota. We have some real hidden gems, tucked away in the far corners of our states, away from our bigger metro areas, that deserve a look.

My Travels Across North Dakota

As a radio DJ for most of my life, I have done a lot of traveling across our state. One of my past side hustles was hosting high school and wedding dances. There are very few small towns on the east side of the state where I haven't hosted dances.

I'm also an avid hunter and fisherman, and this has taken me through many small towns where I have seen the local sites and stopped at some really cool bars, restaurants, and cafes.
