Minot, ND!

It's what I imagine Fort Mac to be like.

Walmarts, hotels, and car dealerships. I've heard rumours of an actual downtown, but even looking at Google Maps I see one street downtown that isn't mostly parking lots, and its buildings are all 1-2 storeys. Apparently this is in a metro of 70,000+ people!

I've seen four vehicles in this state now that weren't GM/Ford/Chrysler. One is mine, one has Minnesota plates, the other two were SUVs. I would honestly guess that 25% of the vehicles on the road are brand new Suburbans; the rest are pickups. Even half the police vehicles I've seen were Suburbans.
