Lost and found fence
May 18, 2010 4 Comments
On the south side of Bismarck, on 12th street before you get to University of Mary, they take interesting trash and nail it to fence posts. My friend Sue says, “I pass by almost daily on my way home and always look for something new.”
Sue calls it the Lost and Found Fence. Which I think is perfect.
We have rural trash on display on my end of town too. We have acres and acres of it right across the street from the new Super Wal-Mart up here on the north side.
My son and I drive by it most days. We don’t really look for something new each day. Instead we argue about who should clean it up. I have my opinions:

Dying to know who nails the junk to the fence and why. And how do people lose so many shoes?
Another great post, Cat. When you add something to that fence, be sure to post a photo.
Susan, BismarckStories doesn’t make stories, she just tells them
Also, when I went there to take the photos, it was so unusual to walk along that stretch of highway that a family stopped to offer me a ride. Hard to go unnoticed around here.
That’s another post, but because of the harshness of the weather, people often stop to help when you get out of your car in rural areas. We stopped on the highway one night to look at the stars and EVERY car that came by stopped to help.
I’m not complaining; it’s a harsh place to be stuck away from town without help. The people here play at acting tough and culturally closed, but they would never leave anyone cold or unfed.
Okay, okay, but I’m glad I posted. It led to another nifty story.
