It was initially done in 1949 by Charles Selberg, an artist from #GrandForks ND who went on to do many impressive things with his life. The painting was whitewashed shortly after its completion by a group against the consumption of alcohol. In 2003, Chandler O'Leary, an artist from the Fargo-Moorhead area, restored the painting.
This is the Red River of the North that divides #NorthDakota and #Minnesota, seen from Edgewood park today in #Fargo. We took advantage of todays snow storm to finally strap on the snowshoes. This record warm #winter hasn't provided plentiful opportunities for outdoor fun. But today was a good time.
StartUp Brew, a weekly meetup in #Fargo celebrating and supporting #entrepreneurship. Wednesdays at 8am at Drekker Brewing. Today's speaker was the director of the #documentary Show Her The Money, which is showing at Fargo Film Festival this week.
@Paul_FTW yes, the cider is great, lots of innovative flavors. You might also want to check out Brew Halla and Drekker Brewing, Fargo Brewing and Junk Yard Brewing for beer, and Teddy's on Broadway for cocktails. The Jasper Hotel has good lounge for meeting up, and hosts Rosewild, one of my favorite restaurants, along with 701 Eatery. Get through these, and on your next trip Ill take you down market on your next trip to #Fargo
Drinking #Drekker beer at the #TrollLounge beneath the gaze of the Norwegian troll artwork at the Sons Of Norway, listening to local folk musicians play is about as uniquely #Fargo as one can legally experience.
No, you don't have to be a Son's member to enter the Troll Lounge, but good attitudes are appreciated.
#ChristkindlMarkt began in #FargoNd today! It an annual celebration that embraces the cold weather and celebrates local arts, crafts, beer, cuisine, and music.
If you live in #Fargo#moorhead, don't miss it!
In a major local sign of the climate crisis, they have canceled the Twin Cities Marathon. With an expected high of 89 or 90 degrees it’s too dangerous.
I saw this medallion on the side of a home built in 1959. A little research revealed it was part of an earlier "clean energy" electrification campaign to set newer mid century modern homes apart from older pre WW II homes. The older homes were heated by coal, wood and oil, while Medallion Homes had electric heating and were designed for the electric life style (ranges, refrigerators, washers, outlets throughout).
