The tagline of Scratch Sandwich and Deli Co. is “Everything’s better from scratch.” And after a taste of their Red River Wheat bread, made from scratch, it’s hard to disagree. The deli and restaurant opened on Broadway in downtown Fargo in early August of this year. They boast homemade recipes for their soups, sandwiches, and…

Real Friends at The Garage, 10/28/14
Almost every single person who showed up at The Garage in Burnsville Tuesday October 28 had the persona of pop punk surrounding them. It makes sense with Real Friends as the headliner and Neck Deep, Cruel Hand, and Have Mercy as supporters. The only thing missing was Real Friends taking a pizza break on stage….
Alt-J ‘This is All Yours’
If you type the alt key followed by the letter J on an apple keyboard, what you get is this: ∆. Also known as delta, the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, ∆ is used in mathematics and science to denote change. And change is the best word to describe the newest album by British…
Fargo Alley Fair
An alley is a special place. It’s where angsty teens show off their mad parkour skills; where bar patrons go for a smoke; where Scamp finds his true calling in Lady and the Tramp 2. It is a land of dumpsters, fire escapes, and Spiderman. As it turns out, an alley is also a great…
Thoughts on ‘Fargo’ from a Fargo native
As you may or may not be aware, FX recently released the first episode of a new television series based on the Cohen brother’s 1996 film Fargo. This was a pretty big deal to the city of Fargo – the Fargo Theater hosted a premiere party complete with a cocktail hour before, and a Q&A…
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Going to Captain America: The Winter Solider was something of an adventure. Its release just happened to fall on a $5 Student Thursday at West Acres Cinema, so virtually every student in Fargo/Moorhead was there, and in line ahead of me! Once I finally got my ticket – for a showing an hour later than…
Fargo Public Library
There’s nothing like a good library, but not all libraries are created equal. And as lovely as the Carl B. is, sometimes you need a change of scenery. Might I suggest a visit across the river, to the Fargo Public Library? The Fargo Public Library is not to be confused with the Gothic revival-style L.D….
Peoples Organic
Peoples Organic is a new addition to the many restaurants Fargo has to offer, and the food that is served is a refreshing option for environmentally and socially-conscious consumers. Contrasted by the Famous Dave’s BBQ and Taco John’s to its left, Peoples Organic serves local, organic and fair trade meals, desserts, coffee, beer, and wine….
The Lego Movie
This movie is an incredibly awesome voyage. For anyone who has ever played with legos or has had the chance to watch someone else play with them, this movie is relatable. It uses the imagination children have when playing with these colored building blocks and creates an elaborate storyline using animation and live action. It…
‘Sum’ by David Eagleman
In the vibrancy of our youth, how often do we stop to consider our deaths? Perhaps for the more morbidly minded among us, it’s fairly often. But nevertheless, the afterlife is a concept far temporally removed from we jolly youth. The question of what happens to us when we breathe our last is one of…
