Argusville

Skip Argusville as a destination: it's a residential village with no visitor attractions. Drive through on I-29 or stop for a photo of the town sign.

Argusville is a tiny farming community 15 miles north of Fargo, named after the Fargo Argus newspaper. With fewer than 500 residents and no shops, restaurants or lodging, it offers nothing for travellers. The only reason to exit I-29 here is if you have family in town.

English everywhere, with strong regional accents; Spanish is the second language in the Southwest, Texas, Florida, California and New York. Some words differ from British English: restroom (toilet), check (bill), gas (petrol), trunk (boot), first floor (ground floor).

  • Measurements are imperial: miles, Fahrenheit, gallons, pounds. 100 km ≈ 62 miles; 30 °C ≈ 86 °F.
  • Small talk with strangers is normal and friendly; it is not a sales tactic.

Etiquette, safety and scams

Etiquette

  • Greeting: Handshake and 'hi, how are you?' — reply 'good, thanks'; avoid: Treating the question as a real health enquiry
  • Restaurants: Tip 18–22% and wait for the check; avoid: Leaving without tipping
  • Personal space: Keep an arm's length in queues; avoid: Standing close to strangers
  • Politics and religion: Listen more than you speak; avoid: Opening with hot-button topics
  • Smoking: Smoke only in marked areas; avoid: Smoking near doors or in parks where banned

Scams and watch-outs

  • No fuel, food or restrooms in Argusville; fill up in Fargo.
  • Winter driving on I-29 can be hazardous; check road conditions.
