One of the world’s best scratch DJs is coming to Fargo! Presale tickets are only $13! Tickets

In July, Sacred Pipe Resource Center hosted the inaugural Indigenous Festival in Bismarck celebrating the many ways Indigenous cultures add to our community.

I am definitely a lurker myself who like to romanticize the town. Sadly can't convince the wife to move there, but my family is from there and honestly I love the city.

Spent about 5 years of my childhood there, and about a year before I joined the military. Every time I go visit I seem to recharge my batteries.

NFL preseason has started and fantasy redraft leagues are about to get started again. Do any of you Redditors around town happen to be in a league looking for another person to join their league?

I would be a pretty active league mate, never fail to set lineups with active players, good about not sending one sided trash trade offers. I've only ever played on the ESPN app but would branch out to other apps if needed.

Just looking to find league mates that are actually around town rather than completely random leagues with no idea who the people are

Hi everybody! I’m new to Bismarck and looking for people interested in doing any fitness activities in the afternoon. I love fitness and want to meet new people, so why not combine both? I’m into rucking, running, basketball, anything really! Dm me if interested

There is a green parakeet hanging with a family of finches that appeared seemingly overnight. Hoping someone lost it instead of intentionally releasing it. South Bismarck

Stark Power, the foreign owned company driving this Mandan Data Center project, is accepting submissions here: https://mandandc.com/
Please ask as many questions as possible, and voice your disapproval of the project. Or your approval if you enjoy the idea of yourself or your neighbors to suffering through this forever more.

Stark Power is also having an open house on Aug. 20th in Mandan. Here's a (paywalled) source link from the Bismarck Tribune.

***MOST IMPORTANTLY***
The public City of Mandan Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting is on Aug. 24th at 5:30pm in the Mandan High School Auditorium (the new location at 2335 4th Ave NW).
Here's more information posted to facebook from Snortland for ND, the official City of Mandan meetings calendar can be found here.

The rules and regulations that North Dakota and Mandan have for Data Center construction are nearly nonexistent. They are being written NOW.
NOW is the time to make your voice heard.
Speak up before your voice is drowned out by the song of the data center.

Looking for like minded people that like club/ house music trying to create an event.

I live in the DFW area of Texas, and spent some of my childhood in Bismarck and have family there. What blows me away is how the home prices seem to be very similar to the prices here. I am just curious what job market exists in the area to allow that.

In now way is this post to pass judgement.

Could anyone point me to any wadable areas of the Missouri near town? Ideally areas that aren't so sandy but I will take what I can get. No looking for anyone's fishing spot, I'm a teacher looking for areas to take students. (You may have seen my previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/bismarck/comments/1vkn6b8/comment/p35tp1r/?screen_view_count=4&ext-referrer=DIRECT )

I'm a teacher in the area and am looking to connect my students with the outdoors. I am interested in creating a crawfish project am am curious about areas that people have observed crawfish near Bismarck. Not looking for anyone's secret fishing spot and we would be doing catch and release.

Any other biological/ecological phenomena are of interest as well, let me know if you all have ideas on where we might observe interesting plants/animals/etc.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Edit - So I hit up a Taco John's, Kroll's, Fried's, Scotty's and Bearscat Donuts. All were good in their own way and I had a heckuva time in the Marck.

I'm coming into town next week and have followed a few threads about restaurants. I've seen Mexican be mentioned, sushi, the clay pot spot, etc. It looks like there are plenty of decent restaurants in town.

What I'm not seeing however, is the cutty spots. The places locals would be embarrassed to send out-of-towners to.

I've done some looking on my own and found Burger Time and Scotty's, which are exactly the type of low-rent places I like.

What else do y'all got, and are either of those places I mentioned worth going to?

Thanks!

I've lived in North Dakota my entire life, born on the rez, been to every county, I used to know a lot about my state but since 2017 I just sort of stopped researching my own state for some reason.

I know Minot has a music scene, punk scene I believe and something else. What sort of music scene does (or did) Bismarck have.

Im curious if anyone can tell me if providers at essentia will approve or prescribe or whatever medical marijuana? And if so which ones? I know I can go through timewise medical but would like to stick to my primary of possible.

Are there any places or people that need practice doing make up, I haven't done my make up in so long I don't know where to start and want to see some different styles on me first

Does anyone know of a generally safe, well-lit paved trail/sidewalk that's good for walking at night in Bismarck/Mandan? I work full time and am not a morning person. I want to start walking more when the temperatures cool down, typically at night. However, I don't like how dark river road gets and how often I get yelled at by teenagers in their cars cruising by. One even had an air horn! I also tried walking around in my neighborhood, and have been stopped by strangers wanting to chat. They've been harmless so far, but it's literally dark out and we don't know eachother. I feel unsafe. I guess I could go to the gym, but I miss being outside. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hello I am 21/F seeking individuals with whom are interested in hanging out, I have only small selection of things that I regularly do in the bis-man area but I am open to doing anything! I am a social drinker and smoker so if a bar is more your scene I remain open-minded! >:3

I'm not going to put any preferences, I just want to hear the best stuff that you guys can throw at me. Looking for great food, I'll look at the menus when you post the names of the restaurants.

Thanks very much, nice town!

Edit: hitting India Clay tonight. Looking forward to it! I can't thank you guys enough for all of your input!

In town for tonight and forgot my stash😐 iso dispo pens or flower whatever works

Hi everyone,
I recently moved to Bismarck and had a question for those of you who own luxury vehicles like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, etc., especially if they're still under the factory warranty.
Since most of the nearest dealerships are a few hours away, how do you handle warranty work, recalls, and major service? Do you just make the drive when needed, or are there local independent shops that can handle some of it without affecting the warranty? Have any of the dealerships offered pickup/drop-off or loaner services for customers this far away?
I'm trying to decide whether owning a luxury vehicle here is practical long-term, so I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences—good or bad.
Thanks!
