What's the issue with that? Seems like they have a Christmas, Halloween, Fall Festival, and some summer down town festivals. Not a clubbing kinda guy so what's the issue? Besides train to chicago if I want stuff.

13-15 hours, could be longer. Literally hours faster if you just drive or fly like a normal person.

It's so far north it gets 16hrs of sunlight

North Dakota is a frozen wasteland, the only thing to do in that state is become an alcoholic or go to college hockey games in Fargo or Grand Forks, if you don't like hockey you are out of luck. The wind blowing off the prairies in February and January is so cold and sub arctic you will freeze your nutsack off the moment you walk out the door.

Why wouldn't I just take a cheap flight somewhere warm? I work remotely so seems like I could take a train to Chicago then have a huge international hub to fly off to somewhere for a few months. Tired of Hampton roads becoming more and more of a shit hole creeping up to Richmond.

Ok then why the fuck are you looking to move somewhere if you're intending to leave it? Just go the the place you're leaving it for.

I lived in deep suburbia in Wisconsin. It was a 5 min car ride to go to the nearest grocery store. The nearest restaurant was a 20 min car ride. There's practically 0 food delivery options besides the local dominoes. It gets boring really quickly.

It has an unbelievablely long, brutally cold winter. From November to April.

Why wouldn't you just fly to Chicago then? You're risking missing your flight just to ride a choo choo train, plus you have to arrange for a way to get from the train station to O'hare (1 hour 15 min. on CTA)

You seem manic/retarded

Because I can travel 3-4 months of the year and then come back home if I 'get so bored' of the nothingness you described. Besides , Fargo seems to have a ton of restraunts and shops around. I work remote but need a US address. Should I look into living somewhere that rent is 4-5x only to still yearly travel to some places.

>>2850306
If I am not in a rush I could train down to MSP or CHI for cheap, saw tickets were like 30 bucks or something. Spend a night chilling in a cheap hostel, take a flight early the next AM. I could also fly if I wanted to, but in winter I'd probably do the train since -blizzards would cancel a flight of a train I would assume.

For a travel board this place sure gets spicy when anyone suggests moving or living in the USA to a cheaper city.

I'll never understand this logic, you know there are anons who don't want to travel or live abroad 12 months out of the year right? Lot of anons here are fine traveling just a few weeks or months of the year, and depending on work might be just better for some. From a pure logistics and financial standpoint might be best to get a cheap apartment with favorable taxes while having an economy to fall back on.
>>2850177
This is probably what /trv/ cares about the most, everything else can fall by the wayside. If trying to get a woman in the area isn't done via tinder or bumble, the place sucks. Smaller pool of people means it's harder to pump and dump, random hookup, or even use the app outside of babymama's. Making social connections at the gym? Town or season festival? Game night at a bar? too much effort burdda.

Exactly this, OP doesn't seem to understand how boring and cold it gets in the winter in the upper midwest. Which is why OP should just move somewhere warm, the amount of money and time you would spend transiting around to the destination would be better spent just living in a warm / better climate.

Personally, I'd never trade life in a small town in the Colorado Rockies for some valley mutt city next to an interstate like Fargo. I got my cheap apartment, I got a daily bus to DEN airport, and that's literally all I need.
>>2849723
This is utter ridiculousness. You're ruining four nights of sleep and wasting huge sums of money to go poison yourself with $7 a drink booze at some stupid bar 1000 miles away, where fat tattooed white women are going to give you the cold shoulder 99 times out of 100. Tough out those lonely boring weekends and save that money for your trip to India, nigga.
>>2850306
Flights from Fartgo to Chicago are a price-gouge. I'm seeing fares around $300 to fly 650 miles.
>>2851179
Summer seasonal work is very much doable up there, but you will need a car (and a place to store it over the winter when you've gallivanting off overseas).
>>
Oh, and just for kicks, African Americans as a percentage of Fargo's population have increased a staggering 850% over the past two decades. All those lovely cheap apartments? Guess who your neighbors are gonna be. Gotta ride the bus because you're away half the year and don't want the hassle of keeping a car registered and insured? Guess who you'll be riding with.
>>
>>2851314
How do niggers get to live in the most remote places in the country? Like how did a nigger and nigger family get to live in Cheyenne of all places? With what money and why would they move from their ghetto in New Orleans to the West?

Because he's not flying from Fargo to Chicago, he's flying on to international destinations dumb fuck

>>2851323
It started under Obama, it used to be they were contained to the usual cities but they overhauled public housing policies & subsidies so they'd be dispersed. It's been horrible for smaller cities that don't have the police power to handle them.
>>
>>2851323
My guess is refugee resettlement, most of the larger towns in formerly 95%+ white areas in the US have been affected by it for diversity reasons..
>>
>>2851373

You're most likely correct, you see the same thing in a lot of Rust Belt cities. It's all part of a grand conspiracy by American Oligarchs to destroy social cohesion amongst rural communities and keep them in a state of fear by raising crime, and insuring that there is no enforcement of laws by appointing compromised judges.
>>

I remember going to Fargo in late March on a business trip and it was literally the coldest I had every been in my entire life.
Also, as soon as the oil money dries up Fargo is going to turn into a ghost town.

Chicago’s black population has declined by like 30% since 1980. Where do you think they went?

Spending 20 USD on a drink and talking about the latest slop startups doesn't make you interesting. Just so you know.

This is the kinda shit I dealt with when moving during covid as we went full WFH indefinitely and I wanted cheap rent. The only real issue i have with fargo is 1) the leftist NDSU who just got work are far more talkative/annoying for the size of the city than you'd expect 2) the homeless that show up for the late spring and summer are a bit aggro.

>muh niggers
lots are seasonal work or uber drivers, they suck but they 99% stick to moorhead housing or goldmark. Stop shopping at Walmart on the 1st and 15th, and you basically never see them.
>muh nothing to do
I'll give you winter is a bit of a chore but you can easily run somewhere warm and not worry of 'urban youth' breaking in. Most crime here is petty theft/DUI, like most college towns. Summer, spring, and fall especially are nice.

Gatekeeping here is the worst I've seen virtually anywhere, I get it since housing is a crunch here as farmers just refuse to give land up or more housing but it's not that bad. I don't get how people can live here where jobs start at 18-20/hr then somehow are still broke complaining needing a 620 credit score to rent a decent 700/mo place that gets you far out here.

Move here if you want to min/max your lifestyle and bank account, i you're self-motivated with a good balance of hobbies/interests you'll make friends pretty easily. If you're the kind of person who hates to bump into the same person twice because you forgot the story you made up last time, lol yeah stay the fuck out. People here remember what you tell them.

>>2851445
That's doubtful as a lot more has been found and now datacenters are taking into green cooling alternatives and wind power. Not to mention farming is getting a boom especially in farmtech

Cass county has a 7% black population, will never understand the gatekeep shit this place does about nope it's 9001% black!
