Verdict is inn- Thanks but no thanks - 2/16/2017
Thank you for 10 years of peaceful ,easy going lifestyle and a place where one could feel good to raise a family. However, The lack of terrain and variety of climate; have left a lot to be desired. There is not 4 seasons as one would lead you to believe. Spring for 1 day , maybe, Winter and more of the same, then Summer. If you do not live a active lifestyle that demands you to be outside your o.k. ;otherwise, their is a lot of time spent indoors and it can be a very long and depressing Season some years worse than others.
The health care offerings have gotten better over the years as far as acceptance of Insurance by providers.
Planet fitness is a inexpensive health club to workout at ;however, others in town are very expensive. Dental and veterinary services are still expensive. However their is a large pool of chiropractic servers to choose.
Happy Harry's is still a big hit around here, especially with there .1penny sales of booze. I don't foresee that

Numbers are very misleading - 9/21/2014
Just because you have a large number of Black, Mexican and Asian Americans in Lincoln, Nebraska has nothing to do with racism or the welcoming of people who look different. Never equate a large number of people with a reduction in racism because you'll never win that argument and it only leaves people who think that way in a permanent state of delusion about how they and others really feel about those who don't have share their complexion. There are a lot of minorities in New York City-my home town but there are neighborhoods and other areas where whites still wouldn't sell their home to you if you had more money than Donald Trump. That's just the way it is and its that way in the mid-west. I've lived in Fargo, ND for years and In the state almost a decade. There's not a large number of blacks and other groups and yet, people here are just as, or more, standoffish and uncomfortable and flat out, openly racist as any town in Mississippi back in the 1950's. So Lincoln maybe a great

New Fargoan - 4/28/2009
Have only lived here little over a year and really enjoy it. Nicest people I've met anywhere. It's a diverse community with many opportunities to serve others in need. Many ways to serve homeless, new immigrants, the young...etc. Community spirit and involvement is very high. The way everyone pitched in to save the city during the flood was beyond words. Great place to raise kids, low crime, and I've heard the school standards are excellent. Many opportunities for sports, arts, theater...etc for kids to stay active. Great Libraries too! If you like the midwest and don't mind a longer (7 month) winter you'll love

Great place to live, except in the winter - 12/7/2008
I really enjoy Fargo...most of the time. It's got a great balance of all four seasons; hot in the summer, cold in the winter. If you're into all types of activities, then it's a great place to be. However, I'm not into hunting/fishing/skiing/snowboarding, so cold weather and snow are not my bag. I've lived here my whole life and I'm used to it, but I've gotten more interested in running/outdoor sports, so I would prefer to live somewhere that I can do that year round. Fargo also lacks some nightly entertainment. The bar scene is big, if you're into that (three 4-year post-secondary schools in the area). Not a good representation of big concerts/theater. Fargo has many perks though: low cost of living, low crime rate, no heavy traffic. If you enjoy the winter, then it's a great place to

Fargo isn't so bad - 11/9/2008
I've lived in and around Fargo for about 15 years now. It is cheap and the economy is good right now even in the midst of the crisis. If you can get over the fact that it is smaller and that it is cold Fargo is a relatively nice place to

Great place to live if you enjoy daily seasonal c - 4/19/2008
Please keep in mind that this review maybe a little premature considering we have only lived here for nine months. The elementary educational system we have found to be excellent. But the cost of living we have not found to be substantially different from the Mountain West where we moved from. The money is just switched to different categories taxes, groceries, medical/dental coverage is higher. The taxes are four times higher on housing. The cost of fresh fruits/vegetables a 1/3 higher and limited. There are no fresh salad bars around here!. The community lives on red meat, potatoes and beer. There's a Happy Harry's liquor store on every corner. The cost to join a public fitness facility is twice as high and limited. If you are not into snowmobiling, hockey, football and living indoors this is not a good place to live in the winter. Blue cross/Blue shield is the (ONLY) choice we have and the premium is comparable with our old coverage,but, the deductible is very high. A good

Economy - 3/11/2008
Fargo is a college town so the base wages are lower. Seven dollars to nine dollars per hour is an average starting wage. Jobs are plentiful. Fargo is becoming a "high tech" city. Industry has discovered that there is a plentiful work force. If you can deal with the 30 below tempetures in the winter it is a good place to
