Full Speed Ahead!Founder:Mike Dragosavich

The second issue is here and we love it! This one was an absolute blast. I want to thank our advertisers, photographers, contributors, and supporters. Fargo-Moorhead is becoming more and more exciting every month. Just years ago, nobody could say there was this much going on all at once. Think about it, there is live music every night, big concerts, MMA fights, hockey, charity events, a marathon, arts, comedy, and more. I am proud of this area and excited to see where it goes from here. I hope that FM Spotlight is becoming your source to find where the action is in town. Each issue I want to grow and be more informational for everyone. I encourage everyone to get in-volved. Email me: Ideas, events, comments, and anything else you think would be helpful to contribute to the community. The more we all know, the more we can get out and enjoy ourselves. Once again, thank you Fargo-Moorhead for all of your support.

Enjoy the rest of the Mag,

Whats Hot Picks

Cadillac Ranch

Some bars in town say they’re country. The Cadillac Ranch screams it! From two-stepping cowgirls dancing on bars, can beer, spurs and

boots, what country lover wouldn’t enjoy this atmosphere. Cadillac Ranch is open Thursdays through Saturdays, so get out that 10 gallon hat and join us for a dance.

Top 5 reasons we like Cadillac Ranch: 1. $2.50 PBR and Busch Light pounders 2. Cadillac dancing girls 3. Midwest’s best country music 4. Fun and friendly staff 5. Two stepping

Upcoming Shows

Four guys with enough energy to fill any venue you could throw at them! The end of the night always comes too soon when you’re witnessing the on stage

spectacle that is “Tripwire”. With four-part harmonies pulsing through four decades of Rock and Roll and over ten different instruments (harmonica, violin, trumpet, sax, and yes even a cowbell), they bring intensity, integrity, and creativity to the mid-west music scene.

Tripwire

Top 5 reasons we like Tripwire: 1. They have an awesome tour bus 2. Variety of styles & instruments 3. Learn new songs quickly 4. Make you want to sing along 5. Just a cool group of guys

THESIDE

518 1st Ave N. • Fargo, NDwww.jlbeers.com

(701) 492-3377

Top 5 reasons I like JL Beers:

1 32 beers on tap, many imported bottles, and

a variety of domestic cans

2 It’s simple: burgers and beers

3 Knowledgeable staff

4 You can take EVERYTHING to go! (Even the beer)

5 Easy on the checkbook

Coming from Chicago, I miss the “Hole in the

Wall” taverns. Now Downtown Fargo fulfills my

memory with a new joint called JL Beers. With

their tagline “Seating for a 1000, 24 at a time,” they

could’t be more right. The place isn’t very big but,

it has a great decor and menu. It’s simply burgers

and beers, but in a unique way. My favorite is “The

Humpty Burger” (topped with egg) and a Goose

Island Ale. See you there. - by Drago
