New Fargo, Old Fargo...

The above photograph graced the front page of The Forum yesterday. "Ewwwww!" Katie said – she is still gratifyingly grossed out by anything that has anything to do with sex.

"No, no," I said. "They're calling it 'Naked Sushi Night,' but that's just an illustration.... wait."

To my surprise, "Naked Sushi Night," at a local bar tomorrow, will indeed feature sushi eaten from the bodies of (nearly-)naked models. “It’s not going to be a sleazy set-up at all. It will be classy and clean,” the bar manager told the newspaper.

Still, this is a clear break from the sleepy Fargo of yesterday to the mid-sized, adventurous city it's becoming.

My favorite part of the coverage of this is that the newspaper didn't leave Old Fargo behind – toward the end of the story sat a small sidebar: "So what is sushi?"

Another nice detail: The Forum also tells us, "According to a 2005 BBC report, the Chinese government banned the practice of serving sushi on naked women, condemning it as a violation of common decency."
