Shout-outs & Shameless Plugs & Misc

• Downtown Fargo Parking - I find I’m often educating people on downtown parking, if they aren’t familiar with it. If you’re not aware, the parking ramps at Roberts Commons and Merchantile offer free parking after 5pm and on the weekends. Plus the first 2 hours are free during the weekdays. This is super convenient when coming downtown to eat/shop/attend and I already have a hard time imagining the downtown w/o this parking anymore. An added bonus is that this covered parking keeps the snow off in the winter and the cars cooler in the summer. Seems like many still haven’t been clued into the Merchantile as it is rare that I even need to go past the first deck to find a spot.
