the town i live near was the only one to have an actual riot in north dakota. it was during a 1969 woodstock-inspired gathering called zip-to-zap.

May 10, 1969: The Zip to Zap. Between 2,000 and 3,000 revelers, prompted by a NDSU Spectrum article that was carried across the country by The Associated Press, descend on Zap, a town of 300 in western North Dakota. The revelry gets out of hand and the National Guard clears out the town.

Historical Information
On May 10, 1969, Zap had the only official riot in North Dakota where the National Guard was called in to disperse the crowd. It was called the "Zap In" and people from all over the United States "Zipped to Zap".

nifty.

South Australia and its capitol city, Adelaide.

South Australia was only established as a commercial venture in 1831 by the South Australia Company through the sale of land to free settlers. This differed from other Australian states, which were either established as penal colonies or made use of convict labour. It is for this reason that South Australia was legally established as a "province" of Great Britain, as opposed to a colony

Good things its famous for:
Festivals - lots of 'em!
This is gonna piss off our French members, but its the truth. The best wines in the world come from S.A's Barossa Valley.
The internationally famous Adelaide Pie Cart, which sells delicious Balfour's meat pies, pasties, cakes and the mighty pie floater.
The annual Christmas pageant that has been held here for over 100 years.
General Motors Holden, which exports cars all over the world. They build the Pontiac GTO at the Elizabeth plant, which is sold here as the even nicer Holden Monaro.
Was home to Douglas Mawson, the now legendary Antarctic explorer.
Jumping off point for Ayers, Flinders and Sturt, who opened up the outback, blazed trails (mainly on foot) west across the Nullabor to Perth, Western Australia, and north to Darwin, Northern Territory back in the 1800's.

Bad things its famous for:
Hottest and dryest place in Australia, therefore has the highest incidence of breathing disorders and skin cancers just about anywhere in the world.
Murder capitol of Australia. More people are killed here annually than any other city in Australia.
A paedophile ring known as "The Family" who are rumoured to occupy top positions in politics, law enforcement and the media. However, nothing has been proven after many years of investigations...
The Snowtown 'bodies in barrels' murders.
The (still unsolved after more than 30 years) Beaumont children kidnapping/disappearance case.

Looking over that bad things list, it's a bloody miracle I'm still alive...
