I’ve been living in Fargo for the last 10 months, and i love it… I’m from the Caribbean, had never been in a cold weather, and i’m a wimp- and i survived the winter (it’s not as bad as people say). There’s so much to do, there’s museums, restaurants, movie theaters, lots of parks, and best of all, its people it’s soooo friendly, that i forgot all about how cold i was, and to me, as an immigrant, that’s very important. If you ever visit, i’d advice you walk down broadway, have some ice cream in one of the local soda shops (the kind that mix their soda and flavors right there- really good) or go biking, it’s fun. Everything i’ve wanted, i’ve found in Fargo, including the ingredients for my country’s cuisine (that was a surprise for me, considering i’m 2500 miles away from it). I’m so glad we decided to move here, it has the feeling of a small town, and the conveniences of a big city. We’d probably stay here for a very long time- we’re even planning on buying one of those character homes they mention here

Glad you had a nice visit! I have to say that even though we might not get as much snow as before, the constant nasty wind makes up for it to make winters here gross….. but yeah, love the trees, parks etc here….. Did you check out any of the praire land outside of town? It’s so quiet and peaceful and at night you can see tons of stars in the pitch black sky….

Oh, I just meant that there are tall buildings there. Even 10 story buildings count as a skyline! Plus, we were dumb enough to fall for Hollywood’s interpretation of Fargo, which made the town look flat and stark. When we saw the real Fargo it was a great surprise, and a good one!

Fargo is a great town…I’m glad you went towards the downtown. There is a great little coffee shop there that I can’t remember the name of. It’s some lady’s first name…hmmmm. Can’t remember. Lots of cute shops too. Anywhoo. I spent lots of time there doing military duty…and both my brother and sister are NDSU alumni. However, I have to say: Boooo Bison…GO UND SIOUX! hee hee.
