I've been to Fargo a few time, but have never paid that much attention to my surroundings.

What's considered downtown Fargo, and how far would that be from the interstate?

The 'core' of downtown IMO is Broadway, from Main Ave. to 6th Ave. N. That's where the greatest concentration of retail/restaurants are located. Donwtown extends to the river on the east side of broadway (about four blocks), and the to the west it's a little more difficult to define (I'd say to University Ave.)



Broadway is about 2.5 miles off I-29.

2002jack, take Main Ave east from I-29. Turn left on Broadway (if numbered, it would be 6th St).

Just look for the 3 "highrise" buildings.

You can actually see the Fargo skyline to the east from I-29 just south of Main Ave. around where Tool Crib and the Floor to Ceiling Store is. Heck, I can see the Fargo skyline from mile marker 5 in SE Moorhead on I-94. The land is so flat.:D

If you truly want to experience dowtown fargo you need to visit the Empire. All you need is $20 and you'll be set. Especially if you go on Saturday night. Beam and Coke night.

It sounds ridiculous but the beam and cokes were .50 cheaper so I drank those instead. I figures I would drink 5 or 6. 3.00 a night, made 100 trips to the Empire (conservative number, could have been 1000, I can't remember) over 5 years. I saved $300 by drinking beam and cokes. I wish I had that money now. Made sense to me at the time.

Very sad day. Hopefully someone will buy the license, and reopen as a similar establishment.
