Great video!! I suffered my only out of town break down near Dickinson. Hats off to the telephone company gentleman who got on his radio and got me a tow truck. Hats off to the service station right off the interstate that towed my car. Correction, they actually pushed my car to the station. Hats off to Charbonneau, who fixed my car for a reasonable price. Hats off to the ma and pa hotel who came and got me. They were across the street or kiddie corner from a Hardee’s. I didn’t see it in the video, but maybe there’s more than one in town.
Only one Hardee’s at the corner of Villard and 3rd Ave (Hwy 22 and I-94 Bus). Its on the right, around 2/3 of the way through the video. I worked at that Hardee’s from 1992 to 1994! Charbonneau is diagonally across the intersection on the left in the video. Thanks for your comments! -Kari
@@sludge8506 at that point, there were probably still a lot of little motels along that strip. The passenger railroad may still have been operating at that time.
I think the changes have come in the last 10 years or so with the oil boom. We have at least one other video of Dickinson, if you look at our City Drives playlist.
@@marcoparada6652 I know I filmed a drive around Dickinson in July of 2019, but I can’t find it either. Maybe I never got it online. I’ll look through the archives and see if I can find the footage.
Business routes make great videos! The history of the century-old US 10 and the charm of a North Dakota community are a good counterpoint to the long miles of the Interstate, as beautiful as they are. Too bad about the passenger service of the railroad disappearing from that elegant depot.
Yes, they are. Since we had to cover such long distance over such a short time on this trip, we stuck mostly to the Interstate. The business routes were the only real way to see anything, so we made a point to take them. If we had more time (like a week or more), we probably wouldn't have taken the Interstate at all.
@504RoadTrips: Honestly, in my opinion, while regular Interstates are my favorite types of highways in terms of what standards they’re built to (being controlled-access), business Interstates (being regular surface streets) are my favorite in terms of the shield designs since in my opinion, I feel that the shields look way better in green than they do in red and blue. I just wish for business Interstates to become more relevant in the eastern United States just as they are in the western United States. Sure business Interstate were mainly made to fill in the void that a decommissioned U.S. Highway left behind, but some business Interstates may actually end up being co-signed with a U.S. Highway. Take the I-94 Business Loop in Fargo, ND for example, where it’s co-signed with the beginning miles of U.S. 10 before branching off upon leaving Moorhead, MN. Speaking of the I-94 Business Loop in Fargo, ND, I really didn’t mind you guys cutting the business loop short in Road Trip #477 due to that road closure at the river because sometimes, it’s nice seeing other interesting places nearby along any detour you take.
It actually is...when it's warm. But for the winter, imagine your St. Louis winters, and make them much colder, much windier, and add a few feet of snow.
Absolutely not. I've been up there once during the winter, and that was enough for me. And we were fortunate on that trip that the temperature hovered around 0(F) and there was no wind or snow. This video was shot on July 5.
Dickenson is much larger than I thought. I've never been there. The places I've been in North Dakota are Grand Forks, Fargo, Devil's Lake, and Pembina.
From what Kari has told me, it has spread out quite a bit since the oil boom. A lot of new housing and hotels have been built in the last 10 years or so. And the population has declined since the oil boom slowed down. -J
She's kind of lost the accent in her years of living in Mississippi and Louisiana, but it comes back when she talks to her Dad and Sister who still live up there. I do believe she embellished it for this voiceover a bit.
You know ... this town just looks like a nice slice of rural Americana. It hearkens back to a simpler time in America and makes me feel good.
I used to live in Dickinson but i moved

@@504RoadTrips Thanks. I saw the Hardee’s, but I didn’t see the motel.
Thanks again.
@@sludge8506 yeah, I’m not sure what motel that would’ve been. There are a couple of independent motels on Villard, but not near that corner.
@@504RoadTrips I should have said that this was 40 years ago! (My goodness, time flys.)

OH HI! WELCOME TO WERE I LIVE
It was fun seeing Dickinson again. I went to college there 50 years ago. A lot has changed

@@504RoadTrips , you just have Bismarck, from what I see.

It's nice to glimpse other parts of the country.
Enjoying North Dakota!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful city
Thank you so much
You're most welcome!
Gotta Love Dickinson ND 🥰🙏 2020 #LoveMyDickinsonNDLife

Never been to North Dakota but it looks nice there

@@504RoadTrips Its been major cold and nasty here lately
It is until winter hits then not so much
Come on jason lol
I didn't even realize until I started going through the footage for editing.

This certainly was not taken in January. Lol

Wait...a few days ago, you said you liked going to The Wurst Shop in Dickinson.
504RoadTrips oh geez, I'm getting confused with Minot!
✌️😂 For some reason I had that in my head.
@@TransCanadaPhil Minot is up north of Bismarck between Bismarck and the US/Sask/Manitoba border. But the Wurst Shop is definitely in Dickinson.
Great video amd also a railroad mention.Love it.
More of that coming up in the next video too.
@@504RoadTrips great.
She deff has the accent dont ya know. Gee
