In this episode, Rocky Schneider takes us on a thoughtful, energetic tour through Fargo’s heartbeat — its downtown. As the June city elections approach, Rocky reminds listeners how just 20% of residents decide who leads the city, urging everyone to get informed and show up at the polls.
He then dives into what makes downtown Fargo thrive — from local pride and small business growth to the role of community support in keeping the city vibrant. We hear about exciting new shops and restaurants (including Maria’s Burritos and Little Bodega), the city’s lively pushcart food scene, and why maintaining clean, pedestrian-friendly streets matters more than ever.
Rocky also tackles deeper civic issues: the relocation of Fargo’s engagement center, the economics of food cart permits, and how transparency in city government shapes a stronger community.
The episode wraps with a visit from Senator Josh Boschee, who discusses his run for mayor and his vision for Fargo’s future — a city that balances growth, community, and charm.
