Just Like Fargo?
Okay, I could not resist. I might as well keep the weeks theme going. Fargo is currently the bane of my existence. I have no idea what has gotten into me this week. Fargo is just not that interesting and therefore I shouldn’t be able to write about it for days on end. But for some reason the stars must be aligned in a way to encourage references and stories about the biggest metropolis in that tiny state. Well this picture has come to my attention via a twitter search I have set up.
[Okay, so i have a twitter search for Fargo set up. So sue me. Its my home town so I'm generally interested in what is going on there.]
Either way, this picture come courtesy of Twitter user Twood. On the picture page, the caption reads: “Stagecoach turning south on calif ave. outside my off. Just like Fargo, ND.“ Click on the picture for a better look on the photo page.
Believe me, this is a great picture but I can think of many more reasons that this picture is not like Fargo. So what reasons are there that this picture couldn’t have been taken in Fargo? I’ll get you guys started:
- No Snow.
- There is a man in a suit taking a picture of the stagecoach.
- That man . . . is using an iPhone.
What else?
Um, no buildings like that in Fargo?
Yeah, I’m not sure that the Radisson would count.
I think there are also train/streetcar tracks on that road.
It's not covered in snow.
Yeah I don't think downtown Fargo looks like that even if you include the Radisson
No white Christmases in Fargo apparently.
I'm just going to throw this out there: What the hell does a Stagecoach have to do with Fargo? I don't care if it does say 'Wells Fargo" on the side.
And at that: Does a stagecoach have to stop for a red light?
Fargo doesn't have stoplights.
Exactly! A case of mistaken Identity.
