You might be in Minot if:
a) Your main road (Broadway) bears resemblance to a child missing their front teeth. And their molars. And their gums.
b) Bulletin boards are graced by the celebrity likenesses of the university basketball team, while billboards exhibit 80-year old insurance agents.
c) Historical buildings are knocked down to make way for panoramic views of dead trees and the underside of a bridge. Oh, and to save the youth from debauchery.
d) A Ford Contour parked outside the bank on Main Street has a ginormous freshly-slaughtered doe slung across the roof (possibly the most repulsive and inhuman thing I have witnessed in my life).
e) All of the above.
I now see why they call it the ‘Magic City’.

HA. ha. and seriously, ha.>i think the owner of the ford contour may have been the same person who stopped by barnes and noble to pick up bill o’reily’s new book, some ann coulter, the purpose of christmas, and then asked if we had any hunting or gun safety books for toddlers…
