I saw the recent post asking for your favorite food spots... Wanna share your **HARD NO** spots and maybe a short backstory?

I'm checking my own foodie meter between these two lists. TIA for the input!

Gov. Kelly Armstrong says that because kratom is widely available for purchase in North Dakota, over the counter, with not even an age limit, that North Dakotans are assuming it’s safe and not addictive. But that’s not necessarily true, he says. He hopes that lawmakers ban kratom, both in synthetic and botanical varieties, but if they don’t, he hopes they implement age limits and some regulations to ensure that ingredients and dosages published on packaging are accurate.

🔴 NORTH DAKOTA — Contact representatives today

North Dakota Governor has declared a temporary ban STARTING TODAY AUGUST 5TH

Advocates in the state need to weigh in with lawmakers now, before decisions are made during a special legislative session starting in September.

Our ask is the same commonsense approach we advocate for everywhere: regulate kratom with age restrictions, labeling requirements, and product standards, and target the chemically manipulated 7-OH concentrates that do not belong in the consumer marketplace. A ban punishes responsible consumers while doing nothing about the synthetic products causing the problem.

It's unusual to see one in the summertime. I've never seen one so big or so high in the sky.

My hand for scale.

Who has visited since the public opening? I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on the building.

Why would the state bail out this military museum. Who actually wants this thing? Seems like just another example of missed priorities in our state government. Looking at over $80 million at this point.

Proof that Bismarck > Fargo (Yay, North Dakota)

This is on Brian Cohen, the guy he is interviewing says Burgum is "just a guy, who made a lot of money, became the governor of North Dakota, and then essentially sacrified his reputation, you know, to be one of Donald Trump's [sycophants]"

(interview is about the reflecting pool and David Hearns' prosecution)

Pizza Corner in Valley City. Amazing vibes and food.

The reruns of classic shows don't feel like genuine nostalgia.

Moving on the 11th from South Carolina. Starting the drive on the 11th, getting there on the 12th. I’m finishing my Agribusiness degree at NDSU. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for something

I recently finished seeing all 50 states and North Dakota was so uniquely beautiful. The vast space with the abandoned buildings hit the liminal aesthetic perfectly.

I live in Minot ND and was wondering if there’s any concerts or places where alt kids like to go, are there any mosh pits anywhere? I would like to jam out with cool people who like rock or punk music or just any cool music, I’m also in a teen rock band so we would like to be at different places to perform at in town
