School’s out

By Michael S. Williamson July 13, 2012

1 of 1 | It's interesting that we've been reporting on growth and expansion here in North Dakota because for many years the narrative was the shrinking population and the fading of many small towns. Having said that, growth is probably not in the cards for Gascoyne because it's well outside the oil producing region. Photo made with an iPhone app that simulates the look of an old time photo at The Gascoyne School, Gascoyne, North Dakota. (Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)
