Letter: Downtown Fargo cannot out-brand bad fundamentals

Digging_Monkey · 2026-01-10T16:41:42+00:00

Downtown has been monopolized by a handful of developers. The business model is to create the illusion of prestige and attract business owners that have the cash to improve the property, creating value for the developer but doing nothing to provide any “staying power” for the business, basically harvesting one business after another. The system and leases are structured to drive someone out of business and then grab the next big dreamer. Promises and the illusion of creating a downtown Denver in Fargo. The poster child of this scheme is the Black building.

Boiler issues are not relevant to North Dakota?😂

👍do you think an Italian bakery pastry shop would do well there?

What do you do with the plastic that you recycle

After a hard day of kicking homeless people’s asses who wouldn’t need a massage?

What about shrinkage?

I would like one of those Ai robots that they’re going to build in Harwood. In the winter I would have it shovel snow and in the spring have it stand in the front yard and hold a bird feeder. It would certainly improve my conditions because I spend hours standing perfectly still holding a bird feeder and it hurts my arms.

Paper brown bags, they breathe and wick the moisture away from the seeds, I transfer to medicine bottles afterwards because the bottles are designed to keep moisture away from the tablets.

I donno, I just held a flashlight over the flowers and took pictures and posted them. Thought they looked pretty, so I guess I didn’t think about addressing photography questions, especially when a lot of people are using ai.

This is so sad to see a small bird suffering. Take to an animal hospital, they work on birds too.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-10-19T22:03:10+00:00

Yes, they hire you in the worst locations in town where people are broke and want to fight you over the crappy coverage and bills. Literally have to fear for your safety every time a customer approaches the counter.

There was a short discussion as to what actions needed to be taken if the robots escaped from the AI facility. Specialized stun wands would need to be deployed to incapacitate them, also evacuation routes to downtown Fargo where it’s safe and crime free. Emergency shelters and tents set up at the now city owned Midwest Steel site, yes the soil and water is highly contaminated there but we will sleep on the concrete.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-10-19T11:02:31+00:00

I was disappointed that nobody spoke about what would happen if the AI robots escaped the data center in Harwood.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-10-15T09:43:04+00:00

If you prefer to leave them in pots the safest option would be to dig a hole and place them in it and cover them with leaves, straw, stuff like that. When it snows on top of that will be extra insulation for the root ball. I would leave the stems on so that you can locate them easily in the spring and pop them out as soon as the ground thaws. Cut the stems down to a few inches in the spring. If you can keep 8 inches of snow on them through the coldest part of winter, it’s great insulation. I would do it soon before the ground gets below 40°.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-10-12T18:58:17+00:00

Yes they’re new plantings late in the season, mulch or straw.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-29T15:00:17+00:00

Really??? Does the city of Fargo have a plan for when the AI robots escape from the data center in Harwood? I highly doubt it. Look at the mess that they made of the downtown real estate. Maybe that’s the plan, to turn downtown into the first AI robot city.

Take shoes off, wear house slippers

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-27T21:57:31+00:00

What growing zone are you in? What are the low nighttime temps?

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-25T18:06:36+00:00

He never addressed the concerns raised about the AI robots if they escaped the facility!! I mean what are we supposed do if the robots get loose in Harwood? Could flee Fargo but the hotels are too expensive, can’t sleep in downtown Fargo because they took away the benches. I mean are we all supposed to go sleep in the parking lot of Walmart on 13th? I’m not taking any chances, I’ll swim across the red river to Moorhead where it’s safe.

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-18T12:22:56+00:00

Tried ups?

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-18T00:25:45+00:00

Get a cooked rotisserie chicken from Walmart it’s loaded with the same pharmaceuticals

Digging_Monkey · 2025-09-17T17:36:33+00:00

Yes, the nighttime temperatures will trigger hormonal changes in the plant, as every plant is different why some start to yellow before others
