April 26, 2012 - North Fargo

The historic Fargo Theater, built in 1926

Our North Fargo walk started downtown on a windy but sunny morning. We strolled down Broadway, where we saw several trendy shops and restaurants.  Some care has been taken to preserve the historic buildings and to recognize the city’s history with inlaid sidewalk mosaics and pillars.  

Many cities have a series of animal statues decorated by various artists.  In Fargo, the animal is the buffalo.  We passed two buffalo statues on this walk – I would have liked seeing a few more.

 

After leaving downtown we walked down 8^th St to the Red River, passing many interesting historic homes. 

Looking for a geocache in Island Park

Near the entrance to Lindenwood Park we passed a memorial to Roger Maris then walked through a pleasant campground before returning to downtown via 7^th St.
