You could change the name of these two cities to Fargohead and it wouldn’t make much of a difference between the two.
The two are separated by a winding, twisting, and turning waterway known as The Red River. Both municipalities appear to be doing well economically. (Fargo pop. 99,208, Moorhead, pop 35,225 - entire metro area estimated 198,066)
Business is good. New fuel fields have been discovered and farming is better than it has ever been in their agricultural history. Whether it is wheat, corn, hay, sugar beets, sunflowers or whatever, prices and demands are higher than ever. This area now understands the global market and they are taking advantage of it. This region’s products have a worldwide demand and market.
We’ve met several people who used to live in Florida but no longer. They have come back to the Dakotas and the Minnesota area...and no wonder. There are lots of jobs available and the real estate market appears to be doing quite well. Both large, medium and small businesses seem financial healthy and growing. New construction is going on in many areas of the region we visited.
But then there is winter. No problem from those we spoke with . . . you deal with it.
