Almost 70% Of North Dakotas Want To Remain North Dakotans -- Gallup Poll
From
The Grand Forks Herald via
The Williston Wire:
Beth Gilbertson moved to Shelly, MN, several years ago from Devils
Lake where she grew up because that's where her husband farms, she said.
But if she could, she'd just as soon farm in North Dakota, she said.
"Sometimes when you're born and raised in a place, you just don't ever
leave," she said.
Gilbertson is among the 69 percent of North Dakotans
who prefer to stay put, some of the highest rates among the states,
according to a recent Gallup poll. About 30 percent say they want to
leave. Many North Dakotans remember when people here couldn't wait to
leave, Gilbertson said recently.
Also from
The Williston Wire:
Watford City's first fast food restaurant with a drive - through opened
its doors recently. Ruben Hooper, the Director of Operations for
Professional Restaurant Group (PRG), is excited to be a part of the
opening. "I feel that we are very in tune to the needs of the cities
that are going through an oil boom," states Hooper. PRG also
owns successful Taco John's restaurants in neighboring Montana,
Idaho, Minot, Dickinson and Williston - the Williston restaurant is the
busiest Taco John's in the nation.
