NEXT MONTH'S ISSUE We've got some changes coming your way! To continue to produce the highest quality content, we are changing our publication schedule to every other month, rather than monthly. This means we will be producing six issues a year instead of 12. Our first issue of 2020 will be our February/ March issue, so when you don't see a new January issue on stands, don't fret! A bigger and bolder issue is in the works!
Join contributor Paul H. Gleye as he provides insight into some of our area's most interesting architectural feats. This month, Gleye dives into what makes downtown Fargo so special, from a historic preservation and urban planning standpoint.
Gorgeous offices need love too! Join commercial interior designer Becky Muller as she tours us through Great States Construction's impactful remodel of Radio FM Media.
