> Lastly, why do residents of Fargo seem to pay no attention to Winnipeg? I've never heard anyone from the area talk much about driving North for a bit of culture, despite it being a little closer than the Twin Cities.

That border crossing is a pain in the rear. I did the crossing before 9/11 and it was a pain then.
