I remember seeing a movie as a kid. It was set in the Dakota territory in the late 1800's and dividing the territory into two states was a background theme.

What the first thing you think of when you hear of these states ?

North Carolina - Andy Griffith

North Dakota - Cowboys

Michigan - Woody Hayes

NC- My Mom. She lives outside Charlotte just a few feet from where I was born. After being gone for nearly 50 yrs she got to move back a couple of years ago.
ND- Buffalo. My bil is from Bismark and when we went for their wedding I remember seeing buffalo everywhere. Rather, I should say, Bison.
MI- beauty. Everyone I have talked to who have either lived there or visited has always had wonderful things to say about how beautiful it is.

NC ~ Charlotte and Raleigh. Family and friends who live there.

ND ~ one of the 3 states I have not visited yet.

MI ~ home (even though I haven't lived there in forever ... born and raised in Lansing)

the upper Peninsula I read a couple Novels where they were murders up their, they were both good, and made the place sound quite romantic

We don't have many murders in real life here in the UP, but it IS a really nice place and I love it.

For me, when I think of "MI", it's lakes and rivers. Of course, I"m about 550 miles from Detroit.

Were you here on the dis, Jason, when I used to do the State of the Week every week? I used to post a 'State of the Week' post on every other forum here, with a link back to the community board, trying to drum up activity on the community board. That goes way back, about 17 or 18 years ago now, because I stopped being a moderator type person back in early 2002. And the community board was busy back then. I know we used to regularly have 7 or 8 pages every day.

 

[justafigment27]

NC - Biltmore Estate
ND - Theodore Roosevelt National Park
MI - home

North Carolina.....Go Tar Heels.
North Dakota.......my brother and his family just visited there last fall.
Michigan.......born and raised and except for 10 years (college, etc) lived here all my life.

And except for winters and potholes taking a 2nd in size and deepness to the Great Lakes......it's not a bad place to live.

about time you contributed something other then just being sexy

I thought Woody Hayes was at Ohio State.

he is, but he is closest thing to a god-man in Ohio, and while coach he hated Michigan so much never said the word (the state up north), and Bo the Coach of Michigan, what a great 10 year war

North Dakota - When I was in Air Force tech school, our instructor told me that upon completion, I was getting stationed at Yokota and my first thought was North or South...Dakota?

2003? Really? Thought is was way before that, Jason. I do miss so many of the folks from then also. Giant personalities for sure, well said. Every so often one or two will pop in on the Old Timers thread I have there in my signature.
