Checking In

While putting the wraps on this edition, the last story I put on a page—before this column, of course!—was my page 15 Close-Up story on the Fargo-Moorhead area.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Cole Carley, head of that dual destination's CVB, who told me what an interesting place this area straddling the North Dakota and Minnesota border is.

But like many a die-hard movie buff, there's still an association with that cult-movie classic ­Fargo I just couldn't get out of my mind.

So imagine my surprise when researching the destination to come across a story and video clip demonstrating that CVB's humor in embracing a cultural reference that carries a rather dark connotation.

So check out my story, and then access the digital edition to view the clip on how the CVB "chipped in" and got a chuckle!
