On This Day | For the Beautification of Minot

Minot has many points of interest to the strangers who visit the city every week, but in taking them around they are placed in excitement and amusement by reason of the manner in which street taste is knocked out of the people before they arrive back at the place of starting. By all means we should study this matter thoroughly and by next spring a feasible plan should be worked out that would not cost the taxpayers too much money.

Why We Chose It
Pride in place was translating into local action and investment, i.e. our forefathers were not afraid to spend a little on the outcomes that made them proud of Minot! Also, we were tracking the number and value of pianos and phonographs in the valley!
