Name 5 things your city started/popularized/is synonymous with (rates, life, restaurant)

[FargoBison]

Fargo....

1.Cold


2.The movie "Fargo". Even though only 30 seconds of it was shot in Fargo, the producers thought the name Fargo sounded better than Brainerd(where most of the film was shot).

3.The Fujita Scale, in 1957 a major tornado hit Fargo and the damage from that twister helped to later quantify data on the F-scale.

Here is the youtube link to footage of the actual twister...
