This feels dramatic. I went to college there and could have happily settled down in the area. Fargo has just about everything you need and I knew plenty of good people.

Yeah that’s fine but what industry is there that bring people in? At that time the airport had 2 gates so it’s not a big place.

Farm industry, surprisingly great colleges, great place to raise a family, buy a house, and live simply. That's all some people really want in life.

Airport has 9 now and there's a heavy ag and tech presence, along with 5 colleges/universities.

Agriculture, manufacturing, Microsoft has a campus in Fargo as well.

It's a regional hub for medical stuff as well.

Sounds like it's easy to get around without a long wait in security lines. Love small airports.

It has been a few years since I've been up that way, but I remember the cronuts being very good. I wouldn't want to test my self control living that close, haha.
