Why Rugby, North Dakota might be annoying:

    It is virtually unknown by people outside of North Dakota.
    It was among a handful of communites between Devil's Lake and Minot along the Great Northern's transcontinental route to take its name from a community in England.
    It was involved in a dispute with the neighboring community of Center over who held the distinction of being the geographical center of North America.
    It has extremely hot humid summers and severely cold winters.
    It entered the mainstream lexicon not for the geographical center distinction, but for being referenced on 'Law and Order.'

Why Rugby, North Dakota might not be annoying:

    It serves as the county seat for Pierce County.
    It is considered one of the agricultural hub centers in North Dakota.
    It is home to the historic Victorian Dress Museum.
    It has a rock obelisk, which commemorates the city's status as the geographical center of North America.
    The obelisk has drawn significant tourism to the community over the years.
