  1. Wow...what a blast from the past. I miss the old State Fair arches.

    When I went to UND, I attended an art show featuring special architecture, and the State Fair arches was part of that showing.

    What they have replaced it with is very sad...I sure do wish they could so something to bring back the traditional look.

    Thanks for all of your hard work putting this blog together...it's much appreciated!
