Let me kick this off with a suggestion. If you’ve never been to the Fargo Theater, go.

It was the perfect venue for the one-time showing of “Derby,…

“Nothing beats a Disney classic” is what one movie-goer said after seeing “The Lion King” in brand new 3-D technology. There is always some hesitation when an old favorite gets a new twist, but the subtle yet charming updates make this show worth the extra cash. The first thing I noticed about this picture is…
Rhombus Guys, the popular Grand Forks pizzeria, has opened a new location in Downtown Fargo, offering one-of-a-kind pizzas and an excellent dining atmosphere.
