During the dark hours of a very early morning in late August of 1975, Sandra Larson found herself completely bewildered in the back seat of her own vehicle after an encounter she and her daughter, as well as her boyfriend at the time, had experienced. To this day, there still isn’t a real explanation of the events the three experienced almost forty-two years ago.
They had been traveling very early one morning, around 4am, down the stretch of road along I-94 toward Bismarck when, at…

Religion has never been a big part of my life. Neither of my parents really went to church and I only remember going a handful of times when I was very little. The existence of a god never really factored into my childhood and it wasn’t until my late teens that I finally had any serious conversation about faith, religion, and belief. I never came to favor any dogma but I did find I was very spiritual.
While I never practiced a formal belief system, I always appreciated it in others and…

“Fargo has a unique spirit, it is a small town with bigger aspirations, a quiet place with bold dreams. A spirit that comes with the harsh cold of winter, blows with the winds of spring, and pushes us forward; it is a spirit within.”
Lost in Fargo is a clothing store that was founded a year ago. It has a variety of clothing items as well as a uniqueness for Fargo pride. It is located at 614 Main Ave, Suite 10 – in the basement – or you can easily find the apparel and other items…

The “rookie door,” the test of whether you are a newbie or a seasoned patron, is just one of the quirky traditions that come with the territory at Duffy’s Tavern, turning 50 in its Fargo location Friday, March 17th. Yes – that is St. Patrick’s Day!
A neighborhood pub with an eclectic crowd and friendly bartenders, Duffy’s has been a staple of near-downtown Fargo for fifty years.
Brian Quigley has been coming to Duffy’s since 1968. The bar has changed, according to Brian:…

The telling of urban legends has become a sort of modern folklore among people of any given time. Though the stories are usually fictional, they are surprisingly often inspired by a sliver of truth of something that might have happened in the past.
Perhaps at one time, some of these stories were completely true. But, through time and the oral passing of a story from person to person, the stories have evolved in a way, taking on a life of their own. They have been transformed from fact to…

In its 21st year, the Fargo-Moorhead St. Patrick’s Parade is set to bring lots of green downtown Fargo on Saturday, March 11th. This free parade will feature walking groups, Irish family clans, floats, and a replica Viking ship manned by the Sons of Norway. Yes, even the Norwegians get in on the fun.
I would guess that the actual amount of Irish-blooded participants is not that high, but it does not matter, as the saying goes, “Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.” However,…

I’m polyamorous and I live with my two girlfriends, who both mean the world to me. They contribute to making me a better person by challenging me when I’m wrong, supporting me when I try something new, and comforting me if I fail. It has been a relationship built on trust, consent, family meetings, and more happiness than I’ve ever had at any other point in my life.
That said, it’s really hard to share any of that with people I meet. It’s easy to talk about my girlfriend,…

In January, I told you about some cheap ways to get into computing. The all-in-one computers work real well for email or browsing the web.
This time we'll talk about the more expensive kind. The two companies most involved in producing Central Processing Units (CPU) are Intel Inc. and AMD Inc.
CPU's are the heart of your computer. They reside on the printed circuit board on your machine. The two companies have provided the majority of CPU's for our computers and laptops for many years.…

February was Black History Month, a time to celebrate the accomplishments of Black Americans throughout history. While that month has come to an end, our ability to celebrate does not. I wanted to take some time to address some amazing trans individuals of color and share where one can find their work.
Before I get to that, I want to be honest and have a real conversation about race, because that doesn’t happen enough in North Dakota. After all, as a state we currently have a 90% white…

Are you tired of staying in your house all day, just to shield yourself from the cold air outside? Are you ready to go out and have some fun while you sample some beers and try some wonderful bacon dishes like a bacon tater-tot hot dish, candy-covered bacon, or rice crispy bars with smoked gouda and bacon? If so, then come on out to Bernie’s Wine & Liquors’ Bacon & Beer Festival.
This year will be the fourth year of the Bacon and Beer Festival at the Scheels Arena, and will consist…
