Whoa. I was here before and recall being surprised by how nice Fargo is. This time I am in West Fargo, a suburb, and am struck by how new everything is. It is America suburbia with strip malls filled with all the national chains you expect to see in suburbia. But everything is so new. The streets are wide, there are sidewalks, there are grass and trees. Looks like boom times in this area.

This article does a good job of explaining the boom:
