This is the time of year to get out and start enjoying the great outdoors again. I used it as an opportunity to push myself. I went and biked the Heartland State Trail in Lakes Country on Saturday. It’s a 49 mile paved path stretching from Park Rapids to Cass Lake. I did a 35 mile stretch starting north…
A popular long-time Minnesota musician who co-owns a bar in Moorhead is addressing sexual assault allegations against him this morning. Multiple people on social media have been accusing Sean Tillmann, who performs under the name Har Mar Superstar, of unspecified assault and harassment for weeks.

Last weekend, a lot of you were probably spending your St. Patrick’s Day celebrating in downtown Fargo. In spite of St. Patrick’s famous snake-ridding skills, there’s one in our region no one’s managed to move along yet. And this Saint — a Ball python — has the patience of a Saint. He’s Kritter Krazy’s longest rescue, having been there without…

But it is looking more and more like we might be able to go out and do more stuff with vaccination rates keep rising. If you’re looking to get out…
FARGO — She looks pretty darn good for someone near hitting the century mark, but it’ll be awhile yet before we can appreciate her in person. The Art Deco jewel of downtown Fargo, the Fargo Theatre, turns 95 years old on Monday — and she’s celebrating her birthday by kicking off yet another year of the best of independent film…
Do you want to explore, do something epic, and run into practically no one while you’re doing it? Lakes County has a ridiculous number of crazy roadside statues towering over highways, lakes, and other random places. And it’s about the perfect social distancing activity because no one is around these works of art. So I went and saw as many…
It’s hard to believe, but last time we took to the ice for our annual comeuppance by the incredible adaptive athletes of HOPE Inc., it was one ENTIRE year ago.
