2. The sad truth is...

"Hitler" would actually be an appropriate name for that place.

I was there a couple years ago, and I have never seen so much jingoistic flag-waving and "Support Our Troops" bumperstickers in my life. There were even local commercials for car dealerships and other places where the owner of the place was on TV praising the troops and "our president", :puke:

I'd never live there, that's fer damn sure.

3. I can't think of fargo without thinking of the movie

Got any woodchippers?

Actually, I am from North Dakota, moved out west when I was little. I still remember the North Dakota accent of my long-gone grandmother.

4. No, no woodchippers...

Interestingly, only the first scene of the movie was taped in Fargo. The rest was in Brainerd and the TC.

5. I spent the first 7 years of my life in Fargo...

My mom's side of the family is from there...some still there. My Great Granddad was the editor of the Forum for about 50 years. Fargo is a great town...

6. And it's getting greater...

I think a lot of the small-town thinking is being weeded out, which is good. Fargo doesn't need anyone moving into here who wants the place to be identical to the shitty little farming town they moved out of. Unfortunately some of it exists, but not as much as it used to. There are a lot of big thinkers in our local govt. who want us to become a truly big city, which I think is good. I think the recent 100,000 population milestone helped morale and thinking a lot.
