As digital changes near, Fargo's meter readers keep feet on the ground Over the years, the city's water meter readers have been the “forgotten heroes of Fargo,” City Auditor Steve Sprague said, working through rain, snow and dog bites for residents.

This Hamm's ad is almost 80 years old, and that tagline holds up pretty well.

The mystery of Bishop Shanley For years, it was just a spooky school rumor — a body buried in the church basement — until someone opened the vault.

A fantastic bit of Fargo history from Tracy Briggs.

Anthony Edwards and the complicated pathway to becoming the face of the NBA Try as he might to avoid it, the spotlight is drawn to Edwards like Coppola's camera was to Pacino.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Anthony Edwards can say all he wants about not wanting to be the face of the NBA when LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant finally decide to move on, our columnist writes. "His mouth says one thing. His game says another."

Forum reporter, 'master punster' lets ink dry on 40-year career Schmidt's peers know that few have done more to get important, accurate information in front of readers. His candy dispensing was pretty epic, too.

Our newsroom won't be the same without Helmut.

Great story from Tracy Briggs today about a *really* overdue library book getting returned to an Enderlin, N.D., library ... and I love that this librarian is lowkey rocking a sweet Miss Frizzle dress.

I sat in as guest host for this week's episode of Growing Together. It was a lot of fun and I don't think I sounded like a *complete* idiot.

I had a dynamite one at Sam's, but I think that's probably a bit on the touristy side (it was on DD&D). I'd say ask a local, but make sure you specify that you want it *smothered.* Maybe ask for a place with good green chile.

Please tell me you're finding a decent breakfast burrito while you're in town?

I must have watched the tape of this 15 times last night. Based on the sound, I thought the ball popped when it went in.

This story took me by a complete shock when it came out and it continues to stick with me, mostly because it comes out of a place and people I love dearly. There's so much to it, and I encourage you to give the audio a listen and read/watch Chris and Drew's reporting from last year.

Host Trisha Taurinskas interviews our two reporters, C.S. Hagen and Drew Trafton, for additional context on how they reported it. Plus, there are extended clips of interviews with a former member and a full one-on-one interview with another former member.
