[QUOTE="Andy, post: 249788, member: 5096"] I moved here in 1986, married in 1988, and had easy child in 1990. The people and businesses here are very generous. I have worked on many non-profit projects and attended some benefit fund raisers. It seems like the local business's pockets are always open to support these local causes and people will attend benefits of people they don't know just because someone in the community is in need. I live in a neighborhood that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable to borrow bottle of syrup if we could not get out to buy one (like in a snow storm). Very nice way to live! I moved here to work in the Reimbursement Office of the State Hospital (may have been called Regional Treatment Center by then). The building is now vacant as of earlier this month. The Developmental Disabled moved into group homes mid 1990's, the Behavioral Health moved into Community Based Healthcare Hospitals a few years ago, and the Chemical Dependency programs moved into a new facility near the Best Western on February 4th. The city now owns the building and grounds and still trying to figure out what to do with it. There is a group of people trying to save the beautiful historical main building. I love the Wahpeton Zoo. It was nearly destroyed by floods but is being rebuilt around a dike. The monkeys are my favorite there. We have been going to Fargo a lot this past year so going to the Red River Zoo instead - that has lots of unique animals you don't see in other zoos - lots of oriental species. We had a bad winter for snow about 1996 - 1997 but for the most part have had o.k. winters until this year. Always have a cold spell but it usually only lasts a week or two - this year about 2 months so far! It seems that Fergus Falls is in a bubble - weather goes either North or South of us so when we do get anything, it is the edge and seldom full force. [/QUOTE]
