Have you ever wondered what it was like to rent a house in Minot in say, 1920 or 1940?
About 100 years ago, the city of Minot included about 15,000 non-law abiding citizens. " It was a place that paid little attention to things like the National Prohibition Act of 1920. The automobile revolution only helped to preserve that status by creating a fast and efficient method to get to and from Canada. With the nationwide prohibition on alcohol, it became famous as “Little Chicago,” the only ‘open’ or openly defiant city in the 1,500 mile stretch between Chicago, Illinois and Butte, Montana. Minot was a center for the 'rum-running' traffic, connecting the liquor supply in Canada with the robust demand of the states. " said Steven J. Borjeson, Minot, North Dakota in his article entitled "Minot, North Dakota: Small city, checkered past, bright future."
