I was raised in Casselton, North Dakota, which was, and is, a great town to grow up in. It still has no stop lights, and the Dairy Queen we hung out at is now Julie's Place. The Coast to Coast hardware store is gone, but now there's a Pizza Ranch.
So what is Casselton famous for? Some say because it is home to four of the past North Dakota Governors (Burke, Langer, Guy, Sinner). I've met two of them (Guy and Sinner), and grew up next door to Bud Sinner until he moved to the capitol.
Others say that Casselton is famous because it is home to North Dakota's only winery - Maple River Winery. I hear that the dandelions are being harvested as we speak for next year's vintage.
But I say that Casselton is famous for its can pile. You either think it's a piece of roadside attraction history, or a big pile of garbage that needs to be pulled down. It's being moved to a new location so that even more people can see it.
