Remember This? Are You Qualified To Pick Up Dog Poo In Bisman?

I moved here just over 5 years ago from Minot, North Dakota

Seemed like literally a couple of days after I got myself and two cats settled into my apartment, COVID-19 reared its ugly head. We saw Bismarck/Mandan come to a crawl, with businesses closing their doors ( some for good ), and just everyday life and things we took for granted all seemed to disappear.

I remember as the weeks and months went by, dealing with trying to get our lives back, I found on Facebook a group page called Bismarck People Reporting News. To me, this is the heartbeat of Bisman.

I found myself turning to this page every time I checked into Facebook

The BPRN is truly the hub of this town, you can find anything on here. Ian Sweep the administrator, does a fantastic job of filtering out the truly negative and hurtful comments that some people choose to hurl at others.

I have read posts from local people who have found a wallet ( with money in it ), who are honest and just want the rightful owner to get it back. Some have written in obvious pain their search for a missing pet. Hey, are you looking for work?

This group page can help you make a buck or two

Let me give you a quick example from a post 3 years ago. This "Straight forward, no beat around the bush ( whatever the heck that means )" post is pretty clear: "Does anyone know if there are people that I can pay to come clean up the dog poop in my yard?"

Ok, there were so many questions I had at the time. Does the future dung picker-upper need to have any experience? Does he or she supply their own shovel? Any health or dental insurance offered for this gig? Will this be a possible full-time poop position? Huge thanks to Hannah for allowing me to share this gem post.
