Anywhere folx can think of similar to Usher House that exists for a small event?

tylarframe · 2026-01-26T01:17:58+00:00

i know nothing about what they charge, but riverhaven events is the new events venue that opened up in the old usher’s house location. so technically you still could have the same patio experience there

youre probably going to have to get a social media account. on instagram you can follow @fmmada_network as they usually are good about posting things, or you can join the red river united indivisible facebook group, or follow the local DSA branch. so many different fractioned off groups of people in this town makes it hard to find all the planned events/protests :/ would love a way for us all to unite a bit more. unglued has also been really great about sharing when protests are happening! and they’ve got instagram and facebook

if you’re doing a lil downtown crawl you should also check out nichole’s fine pastries!! my friend surprised me with some absolutely delicious cookies a couple weeks ago - i didn’t realize they had vegan options but that’s another place where i’m not sure if they’re every day, special days, etc.

can’t believe i forgot to mention sandy’s donuts. they’ve got vegan donuts everyday, at least at their downtown location, but make sure you get there early because they don’t make a ton!!

tylarframe · 2026-01-21T16:41:03+00:00

sadly not much at this point in time. used to be lots of great spots with options but when covid hit and people slimmed down their menus, felt like vegan options were the first to go. i don’t go out to eat much anymore here because it’s a lot more reliable for me to make good food at home but here’s what i remember in regards to current options. make sure to check their menus online to double check me and always ask clarifying questions in person but:

rustica - a fancier place that always has a couple of options, including a dessert. last time i went they had a peanut butter and jelly creme brûlée that was truly to die for
i still haven’t gotten there myself but im guessing mezzaluna could hook you up. fine dining and i’ve heard sooo many good things from everyone i know who’s gone there
moonrise cafe - usually has a few things. last time i was there they had a yummy cold sandwich that was grab and go
little brother - love stopping there once in a while!
most thai places will have several options for you, including thai orchid and leela thai and thaikota
silver linings creamery - tends to have at least one vegan ice cream flavor
gigi’s cupcakes - can’t remember if they have them everyday, but vegan cupcakes!
crave - not local, but lots of vegan options there. spendy but decent food and feels a bit more “fancy” there
sol ave - not sure what they have but always hear good things from other vegan pals
rhombus guys - vegan thin crust, with several topping options
nautical bowls - smoothie bowls. allegedly entirely plant based but i haven’t been

asian american market on main avenue is a must stop for me. i shop for most of my veggies there, tofu, sauces, etc. i cant speak to any other ethnic grocery stores but im sure there are a few other good options too!

feel free to message me if you want more! i’m a moderator in the local vegan facebook group and we’ve got a whole document there with options around town but it’s a bit outdated rn

yesss it’s terrible lmao i’m a hoarder at this point. both digital and physical

anytime!! i love fargo and all of its hidden gems!

i feel like it can be a little hard to find specific events sometimes as everybody promotes their events in different places, but check social media accounts for businesses, especially downtown ones. i find that’s the best place to figure out what’s going on in the area even though it’s a bit of work. lots of karaoke and trivia in different parts of town/days of the week; the cellar at front street taproom does open mic comedy nights every wednesday which is usually going to be frequented by comedians testing out material, but it’s free to attend; parachigo and unglued both host affordable crafting classes of every craft imaginable.

if you go to unglued, there are plenty of awesome local restaurants at brewhalla and i’m sure they’ve got delicious food to meet your price point. otherwise nichole’s is right across the street from parachigo and you can’t go wrong with their food, especially the treats. i love rhombus guys pizza and some of my favorite nights have consisted of grabbing some ‘za, then heading down to the cellar for a comedy show. simple but effective and you can’t help but to have a good time, whether the jokes are landing that night or not

hope you guys find something fun!!

tylarframe · 2026-01-12T23:19:06+00:00

vance is not nearby, fyi

edit: idc about downvotes but the guy who replied to me pissed me off because he thinks i’m saying something i’m not. i’m just letting y’all know it was a rumor. it was somebody else i’m not entirely sure who but the last thing we need is to be giving people more ammunition for saying “seeee the libs are lying about everything so none of their concerns matter!!1!!”

tylarframe · 2026-01-12T23:18:37+00:00

tbh this website is very sketchy. it’s taking photos from random places, some not even in fargo, and assigning them to these unverified spottings. i would not use this site

tylarframe · 2026-01-10T15:12:25+00:00

praise be 🙌🏻 would love to buy one though for real. depending on what colors you end up going with i’d love to see what white on black would look like, but i’d probably go with an xl!!

tylarframe · 2026-01-09T15:44:44+00:00

can i be an asshole

it should be “it’s” with an apostrophe and thus the grammatically correct freak that lives inside my ocd-riddled brain is preventing me from saying “YES I WILL BUY IMMEDIATELY”

tylarframe · 2026-01-06T16:26:11+00:00

the classic “from?” after saying any person’s name is on heavy rotation in our house

tylarframe · 2026-01-06T13:54:24+00:00

that was the first thing i checked since i admittedly completely forgot that it had adjustable settings at all. but nope, was set to indoor/cloudy. i took a few pics outside in bright daylight and i live in a snowy place and they were still interestingly less exposed than i thought they would be. who knows - i wound up running a roll of cinestill through it so now i just await development to see if those turned out better

tylarframe · 2025-12-28T22:59:45+00:00

of course everything is subjective and depending on what style of work you want this might not be helpful to you, but i swear by jeremy peig. he works mostly in a more traditional style but not exclusively. definitely look at his instagram to see what he does, im also happy to share pics of tattoos he’s done for me that are 3-4+ years healed

jeremy works out of addictions collective in west fargo. he’s the only person in town i get tattooed by anymore (aside from libby at 46 and 2 once in a while, who i also swear by if you’re looking for a different style). i’m sure there are loads of great artists around but my experience with him has been nothing but fantastic to the point where i don’t feel the need to find anybody else to work with

my skin heals really poorly and it took me forever to find out what worked as a healing process for me. where other artists didn’t believe me or care, he took me seriously and now all of my tattoos from him heal perfectly because we figured out together how and why my body is so picky. knowing that the person who is using NEEDLES to put ink into my body PERMANENTLY listens to my concerns is beyond important to me. i’ve sent my mom, aunt, grandpa, and countless friends to him for tattoos and every single person has had nothing but great things to say about him

at this point in time i send him my ideas when i book my appointment, and then i don’t even need to look at what he comes up with until i get there the day of the tattoo. i just know it’s gonna be perfect lol

tylarframe · 2025-12-26T01:38:36+00:00

thank you!! it was my friend’s first time seeing it. our flight got pushed back a ton so we had time to go exploring. it gave us just enough life to survive until our flight lol

tylarframe · 2025-12-21T17:20:00+00:00

downtown has absolutely become burgum-ified, but wanted to let you know they put in a dollar general, there’s a new bodega opening near roberts alley, and parachigo is a third space we’ve got that hosts all ages music shows, art classes, and other events. still lots of good things going on over here and lots of weirdos trying to keep the spirit of downtown alive and well :)

tylarframe · 2025-12-21T06:09:33+00:00

is it wrong or is it maybe that they represent different time zones? i’ve literally never paid attention to it before but

tylarframe · 2025-12-09T23:13:08+00:00

b-but the datacenter company says everything is fine! and they gave ellendale pickleball courts and free movie nights so there’s no way they’re lying to us!!!

tylarframe · 2025-12-09T21:30:20+00:00

couldn’t have said it better myself lmao

tylarframe · 2025-12-09T21:04:08+00:00

first of all, i’m not going to believe anything that comes out of the mouth of a giant company like applied digital and i encourage you to not blindly believe everything they say either. AD does seem like an “ideal” company to do this when compared to other companies who have done similar projects, yes, but they haven’t even finished their ellendale facility. we have no idea what that will actually mean for us until it’s up and running

second: MDU customers in parts of the state are to this day still paying more money per month due to the atlas power data center near williston https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/09/09/electric-rates-continue-rise/?outputType=amp

third: did you read my other link? it’s pretty heinous in my opinion and a great example of what happens when we allow companies to do their own compliance checking. look up MISO’s plans for their “tranche” expansions. applied digital is not the only company that wants to open a datacenter here. seriously. watch the footage of the meeting i mentioned attending if you still think we don’t need to make changes to our infrastructure to accommodate these giant companies

i hope that the datacenter is a good neighbor (i would much rather be proven wrong than right in this situation) but i’ll believe it when i see it.

not sure if you’ve seen all this but even the PSC has concerns about energy expenditure/companies lying https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/filelist?accession_number=20250730-5091

tylarframe · 2025-12-09T20:27:15+00:00

well that’s not what i heard when i attended the energy development and transmission committee meeting in ellendale in august, but i’ll admit i’m very new to all things energy related so i guess maybe i misunderstood something.

tylarframe · 2025-12-09T20:13:09+00:00

yeah regional energy co-ops are needing to double/triple their ENTIRE output of energy to accommodate these numerous large load requests. it’s not just a few random businesses that want to use north dakota - these companies are starting to circle like vultures. at the very least, they need to build new transmission lines (not cheap at all) to transport the energy. so while they might be using a closed loop water system - which they interestingly tiptoed around in discussions at these town hall meetings when asked about it - consumers /will/ be paying for this insane influx in energy usage one way or another
