Fargo Reviews

I enjoy Fargo. The people are nice and everything around here is clean. One and my only complaint about Fargo are the speeding people who don't signal. People need to SLOW Down! Otherwise, Fargo, ND is a beautiful, friendly neighborhood. Anyone is willing to give you a helping hand.
Review Fargo
The city is very accessible to get around on public transportation. The shopping area is very convient and accessible as well. The customer service I experienced each time I visited was awesome. The sales associate in several business that I've shopped always make me and my children feel welcome. They have taken the time to remember our names when we visit and even learned to know our likes and gives great ideas on purchasing items. We always leave satisfied, excited just the thought of revisiting. I Love shopping in Fargo ND.
Being new to the area, I felt super lost and lone. After my first month, that was completely different. There is always something going on where you can meet and hang out with people, even if you're new to the area. Everyone is so sweet and helpful!
