(AP) In a tree-fringed grassy lot with a lone picnic bench in the tiny North Dakota farming town of Leith, Craig Cobb sees the perfect venue for a white power music festival.
Across a gravel intersection between two abandoned buildings, he envisions a park perhaps with a swimming pool dedicated to a neo-Nazi and white supremacist activist. He pictures the town decorated with fluttering flags and banners bearing the swastika the symbol of Nazism.
"They would have to be approved by the town council, of course," Cobb said, gazing out over Leith's sparse downtown from his overgrown, weed-infested front yard.
Cobb, 61, a self-described white supremacist, has purchased about a dozen lots in the community about 60 miles southwest of Bismarck. Over the past year he's invited fellow white supremacists to move there and help him to transform the town of 16 people into a white enclave. No one has come.
Leith was founded in 1910 along a Milwaukee Roadbranch line that separated from the railroad's Pacific Extension in McLaughlin, South Dakota and ran to New England, North Dakota. The name was given by railroad officials and comes from the city of Leith in Scotland.[6] This line was abandoned in 1984, isolating Leith as none of the primary highways in the area were constructed to go through the city
