    Fargo seems pretty cool.
    It turned to **** starting in the 60's when the new interstate highways basically killed Downtown, shifting development to the SW edge of town. The downtown area, especially Broadway (6th Street), has fortunately had something of a a rebirth in the last few years with the New Urbanism movement and all that.

      Not the building - what's contained within!!!! The two oldest surviving printing presses in the world, A GUTENBERG BIBLE! (actually, several!) (This is a Civ site after all!). This is one of the world's most precious archives and collections of the printed word and the history behind it!

      I cannot adequately express what an amazing museum this is! http://museum.antwerpen.be/plantin_m...index_eng.html

      The spikey buildings is the new Court of Justice, finished since a year or so. When were you here?
      A couple of times. Most recently this April. I did inside the old city walls quite extensively, but apart from that only the diamond quarter and train station.
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

          It looks pretty nice there Odin, but that is the summer. My guess is it doesn't that nice in the winter.

                  Odin I refuse to believe Minneapolis until I see it. All the pictures of it are so clean and perfect, they look like they jumped out of SimCity or something.

                    Camden's Old Post Office.

                    This weekend I'm going to try to get some good pictures. All the ones that are online (except for single building pics like the above) suck.

                          Question: Was the 800x600 picture size rule revised or is Odin gonna have to resize his?

                              I'd post about this in the "US versus European Cities" thread - it reminds me American sculptures seem to range from the stupid to the butt-ugly.
