Here is a question to ponder - "Could a WOODSTOCK work here in North Dakota?"... ...I say absolutely. I mean why not, right? The very first WOODSTOCK was 55 years ago ( Bethel, New York ) First of all, what pops into your head when you hear that word?

Bismarck-Are You A Responsible Shopping Cart User? ( GALLERY )
I don't really remember the exact moment I began to pay attention to the cart protocol at store parking lots. I mean, after all, this SHOULD be a simple unwritten, unsaid set of easy rules of what to do when you are done shopping, and you successfully took the groceries out of your cart and into your car. Ok, now a quick decision, what to do with the cart? Most of us will take the extra few seconds to steer our faithful cart into the open stall - or some refer to it as a corral. I actually took a couple of minutes out of my day to go out and witness for myself if people were playing nice with the shopping carts.
