A Minot Trivia Challenge
After living in Minot for a while, you start to pick up on the little things. You figure out which car wash you prefer, what playgrounds have the best slides, and which roads are most likely to be sanded after a snowstorm. But no matter how long you’ve called Minot home, there’s always something new […]
Let Me Tell You Good Things…
Two parents were walking cautiously down a Central Campus hallway. It was Parent/Teachers conferences, and we were looking for our son’s history classroom. The good news is that we were not the only parents struggling to locate the right classroom, the bad news is that we were supposed to find this classroom and do a […]

Five Things To Know If You’re New Here
Last week, my four-year-old and I went on a lunch date on base. Our usual order is the pizza combo from Bomber Bistro, which I think is the best lunch deal in town—and took it to Li’l Riders, the attached indoor playground my kids love. Especially on cold days, it’s a perfect spot for them […]
Music, The Great Communicator

Walking Among Giants!
A recent Visit Minot meeting was held in the Flying Legends hangar at the Dakota Territory Air Museum. The museum is closed to the public right now, but the hangar is still filled with planes that have been restored to combat, and beyond, condition. I can almost name them all from the British Spitfire that […]
Visitor Burnout
As I sit down to type, I’m munching on complimentary Biscoff cookies, sipping strong coffee from a small paper cup, and balancing my laptop on a rickety tray table. We’re on a return flight to North Dakota after spending a week in northern Indiana visiting family. Every time we take this trip, I think about […]
