Human Interest Article From the WSJ -- Williston, North Dakota

Earlier today I posted a very small opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal. In that opinion piece, the editor notes that the Williston Chamber of Commerce is no longer answering its phone.

It turns out that a WSJ staff writer had written earlier that the Williston Chamber of Commerce was no longer taking phone calls. Here's the story. A subscription may be required to access the article but generally googling the headline will get you the article: "Oil Fuels Population Boom in North Dakota City."

There is nothing in the article that regular readers don't already know but it's fun to read the names of local people who were interviewed for the article, names Williston readers will recognize: Chuck Neff, Tim Conlin.
