Review of Fargo, North Dakota


Verdict is inn- Thanks but no thanks
Star Rating - 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 changing soon with the MidWest mentality /Norm " get liquored up whenever we have a good excuse.
Although North Dakota has made great strides in the prevention/educational realm of teaching its citizens about the ill effects of the use of drinking and driving and have lost their ranking of #1 in the Nation for DUI incidents to Hawaii they still have a way to go. Maybe, the first lady will make a substantial difference. The use of drugs opioids is on the rise it has been called an epidemic. But the city in conjunction with the schools is working hard to keep it under wraps. Their are still lots of jobs to be had with minimal skills, but, this is a right to work state and the wages are low. Competition for jobs that require Bachelors is fierce more so in some fields than others. I.T. jobs your better off living somewhere else.
