Glowing Globes


This downtown Fargo store window gets a Glowing Globe Award. This is fitting since it is directly across from the famous downtown Fargo Theatre. Downtown Fargo continues its revival but also continues to have a parking problem. They started a program called POP (plenty of parking) but just because we have a POP program doesn't change the fact that there isn't enough parking. Fargo Theatre

Yellow Brick House


After following the yellow brick road, you may very well end up at this yellow brick house. What would normally just be two more windows on the East side of a building have cleverly been transformed into something out of a fairy tale. What a clever idea. It's surprising we don't see more of this type of creativity. One way to promote creativity like this would be an annual contest with prize money. Our government would probably decide to tax it to promote bigger government.

Burrito For Eato


This picture documents the fact that: 1. You can now purchase everything in frozen meals from burritos to omelettes, and 2. I actually thought to stop and take a picture of some frozen burritos. Regarding #1: We've come a long way from fish sticks and TV dinners. Regarding #2: I must either have way too much time on my hands, or I have a window shopping blog that is waiting to be fed its next post.

Peabody House


This is the south side of the Peabody House in North Fargo. The cute little dollops of snow on the window awning and above the door are what caught my eye. They just looked so perfect. Most of the snow in Fargo has now been beaten down by a week of rain. The Red River is on the rise, along with the threat of major flooding. Our little dollops of snow are now history, but they certainly made for a nice picture on this day before Saint Patrick's Day.

Unlimited Tanning


It's easy to see this window signage from the streetage. Big, bright lettering definitely goes a long way. The question arises whether or not unlimited tanning in a tanning bed is good for one's skin. I think most people would agree that it's not. Another way to get unlimited tanning is to decide to make a garden in your backyard. In the above photo, you can see the drive-by photographer's vehicle in the reflectionage.

String Section

This is the view on main avenue in downtown Fargo.

These members of the string family were music to my eyes. As you stand at the front door, you can look off to the right and see the aboves, or look off to the left and see the belows. They're all just floating in air, suspended in the window, waiting to be adopted by their next virtuoso.

The sight of these guys is enough to make me want to go listen to Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor.

Happy Plane


Yesterday out by the Fargo airport, I saw something one does not see every day. It was a smile face airplane. Its front windows looked like friendly eyes of the yellow happy face. Maybe this is the airplane version of a yellow submarine. duggy.com

Elvis Sighting


For fans of Elvis the Pelvis, let it be known there was an Elvis sighting in downtown Fargo on February 27, or as they call it on Maui...Tsunami Tsaturday! Elvis looked to be in good form but was not available for any questions or autographs.

Sun Fun


What great use of sun light coming through a window. This is the southernly view out of a downtown Fargo health food store. It is always a delight to see nice stained glass aglow. There can never be too many stained glass windows in this world. Is southernly even a word? What about aglow?
