    I grew up in Fargo, ND. I can be in frikkin Paris France and they've seen the movie Fargo. If I go anywhere more than three states away, it's "where r u from" I reply Fargo, ND, the say "Like the Movie!"? It's really messed up. The movie was filmed in MN for crying our loud. But, I guess its all Fargo's got going for it so I'll take it.
