- If you haven't noticed, the "insurance company" pages have been slowly improving, with new information and images scanned from my archives. For your consideration: Pioneer Mutual Life, Lincoln Mutual Life, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
- Everyday Science and Mechanics, November 1934: one of those excellent magazines that mix sci-fi with hard science. Modern magazines avoid this, but back in the day it seemed like nothing was going to keep us from our flying cars. Total Pages So Far: 7.
- John Till, the Somerset Doctor arrived in my life as a crushed-corner postcard bought at a Wisconsin antique shoppe. Who was this doctor, famous enough to get a postcard? To have extraordinary P.R. you need to do extraordinary things, and Till promised such magic.
- Has a well-wishing friend forwarded you a warning about unsolicited parking-lot perfume sales? Most of them mention Fargo at the very top -- here's why.
- Do you know Ole Sageng? Schoolteacher, farmer, and representative of his neighbors in the Minnesota state senate; he tried for US Senate twice, but failed.
- Updated: A place I didn't know existed, even though I probably passed it a million times when I was a kid: The New Palace Hotel. Like oh-so-many 'second floor' flophouse hotels that existed in Fargo through the 1970s and 1980s, it lived hidden-away above retail storefronts. in 1990, it burned down; arson is the prime suspect. I found a number of clippings about it in a box of ephemera from The Rage, one of the stores destroyed in the fire.
- The big sign on the Pioneer Mutual Building came down on July 12th and I was there; new pictures on the PML building page.
- On a walkabout in Downtown Fargo on a quiet Sunday morning, we found ourselves in the midst of a half dozen interesting little buildings: the Marjorie Schlossman Roberts Street Chaplet Project.
- A new category, given the number of such objects I'm interested in scanning: Maps. Most are extremely large 300-dpi files, so that their information can remain useful.
- A variety of local print media: Forum, Howard Binford's Guide, Valley Midweek Marketplace, The FM Extra.
- The Category List allows you to view most/all content, and browse topically.
