8. Maybe you need to keep up with the news the people of Leith rebelled the supremacist leader was jailed

and he no longer owns property there

White nationalists[edit]
Main articles: Craig Cobb and Welcome to Leith
In 2012, after moving to Leith, Craig Cobb began buying up land, at one point, reportedly owning at least 12 plots of land. Craig has expressed a desire to turn the town into a white nationalist community.[7] As a reaction to Cobb, some locals have advocated to disincorporate Leith back into Grant County proper.[8] In November 2013 Cobb was arrested and charged with three counts of terrorizing stemming from an incident in which he confronted another town resident with both a shotgun and a rifle.[9]

Today, Cobb no longer owns any buildings in Leith. He deeded six properties back to the town at no charge and sold off a few others. Three are still owned by other white supremacists, but they have shown little inclination to take up where Cobb left off

2. you will love the snirt storms. snow mixed with dust blows sideways and when it hits your

windows, the snow falls out and the dirt blows in thru teeny cracks. and the snow is so cold when you walk on it it squeaks and blows around like tiny sparkles and bits of cellophane (if you know what that is lol, just like lucy in the sky with diamnds)

In 2015, Cobb attempted to purchase $10,000 worth of property in Antler, North Dakota, in an attempt to take over the town and rename it "Creativity Trump", a reference to Donald Trump, whom Cobb says he admires.
