The post about Mango's closing in Moorhead got me thinking, in your opinion where is the best Mexican food in the area and why? What's your favorite thing on the menu?

I'm going with Plaza Azteca. Food is amazing, prices are good, service is always really fast even when they're slammed. They have fresh habanero salsa if you ask (you can really taste the flavor of the peppers, it's fuckin' good). Favorite menu item probably the san Jose burrito.

I always plan to eat half my food and bring leftovers home.

There are never any leftovers.

My husband and I will be up next week for a friend's wedding and we love coffee, games, and Pokémon cards. What places do we need to hit up?

I'm wondering if there is a place in the area that has a good selection of fixings for home made pizza. I'm thinking pre-made frozen dough especially, but I'm also wondering if there is a store that sells more than just some basic items.

Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a small business advisor?

I’m an independent author and have been fortunate to make some decent money at it, but I know the way I’m handling the financials around it isn’t the best 😅 Basically looking for help and advice when it comes to figuring out the best way to set up an LLC or other business entity, business bank accounts, bookkeeping best practices, etc.

Hoping someone out there might know someone who I could work with!

Does anyone know of local nurseries that have extra hot peppers to plant? I am looking for scorpion, reaper, etc. to make hot sauces.

I love when fundamentalists are explicit about their views, which makes it clear that we should not vote for them.

>Carissa Geske talked about a moral law children should be taught adding Islam is something that needs to be addressed.

Sounds like a First Amendment violation to me.

>“In the west, we have benefitted from what our founding principals were on which is based on this idea. So, the Nuremberg Trials displayed this thing of when a country goes wayward, what do we do if there is something pure evil going on?” Geske said. When asked by reporter Austin Erickson if she believes Islam is pure evil, Geske said the Nuremberg Trials showed there’s a moral law that we need to recognize that supersedes the laws of the land.

Notice how she demurred to answer whether Islam is evil. She also stated that she's open to violating laws in favor of her religious beliefs. Should we trust her to uphold the standards and that are in place to serve our students if she feels the liberty to pick and choose which ones are valid?

>“We have to ask the question, which I haven’t heard asked, is what is that moral code coming from? Islam and Christianity cannot coexist.

I imagine it's pretty hard for them to coexist if you intentionally create a society in which one party isn't welcome.

>We are founded on arguably Christian principals, but Christianity doesn’t use coercion to force people,” Geske explained.

And yet she is open to using religion as a basis to compel others to "address" things, whatever that means.

>Geske added the west needs to be careful about what’s going on in the United Kingdom and the School Board isn’t talking about it. She went on to say Muslim leaders claim you submit or don’t and followers will be penalized, kicked out or killed.

Why is a school board candidate in Fargo concerning herself with the UK as part of her campaign? Why would the school board be talking about it?

>She went on to say Muslim leaders claim you submit or don’t and followers will be penalized, kicked out or killed.

Even if she were able to cite a specific instance of a UK Islamic leader saying that, I'm not sure that's representative of anything, and I doubt she'd want to be painted with the same brush as the worst members of her faith.

>“I would ask Muslim parents what are you teaching your children because you may be a professing Muslim, but you actually might be saying do not lie, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet. Then are they really operating out of a Muslim world view or not? That is something we need to address,” Geske said.

How the fuck does she want Muslim parents to respond to that? Is she going to tell them that if they teach their children basic, universal moral tenets like "do not steal," that they somehow aren't Muslim? What exactly does she mean by "address" in this context?

I really wish this line of questioning would have been pursued by an organization other than "The Flag," which is a conservative outlet.

Have you used the bike parking in RoCo downtown? I have seen it before but never used it, so I’m wondering how it works, how secure it is, and if it’ll fit a kiddie trailer when I bike my son and I to the farmers market this summer.

how is life there? quiet? busy with the arena nearby? I got burned on my last lease and I am looking for a peaceful place to call home. thanks!

I am moving to Fargo all the way from Puerto Rico soon. I've been studying the weather and also asking locals about it. I was told to invest in good winter clothes and not to buy them in PR. In PR since people travel a lot we have winter clothes in Walmart, Macy's JC Penney, and other places, but I was told to buy them in Fargo because the clothes that are sold there are more for the local winters.

Can anyone suggest good stores for me to buy them at? I am also a large man, but aside from that I am also very tall so I end up needing sizes like 3XLT or 4XLT

I have a dilemma I’m hoping someone can help with. My child’s daycare opens at 7am and my new job has a start time of 7am. They are literally 5 blocks from each other. Does anyone know of any solutions for this? I have no family in the area. I really want to take the new job but don’t know what to do.

Has anyone been in this type of situation before? How did you manage?

Any insight would be helpful. I really would like to avoid switching day cares if possible

Looking for something to do this weekend. We've done south Dakota and wester north Dakota a ton along with the MSP side.

So north is... Winnipeg? South is... Maybe a casino?

Anyone do any fun weekend trips. Not looking for camping or hiking for the most part, just something interesting, unique or wierd to do this weekend for 3 of us.

Thanks for the input

Any decent jobs up here that can land me at least 900 a month??? I've put out so many applications but I either don't get called back or they're shooting for like 15hrs a week at $7.25 an hour. I just want to pay rent and start chipping away at my debts. I thought I was good for 7brew at Moorhead but I was told I "wasn't a good fit". I'm assuming I was memorizing the recipes too slowly (8 days.) So I need a new job ASAP.

i.e., physical/online storefronts for local pottery/ceramics artists

Does anyone know what's going into the old lot on South University Drive that used to be the Burger King??
