== Criticism? ==
I realise criticism sections, like virtually everything else that made wikipedia interesting and useful back in the day, are now considered somewhat passé by Jimbo and friends, but the complete LACK of criticism in this article really needs to be addressed. Even in cities that are otherwise hideous, American state capitols are almost always beautiful examples of the sort of neo-classical early American architecture that never seemed to catch on elsewhere. But having an eye-meltingly hideous office tower instead is almost an affront to the people of North Dakota. Seriously, this building is so ugly it looks like it belongs in Boston's financial district.

For the public record, the reference to North Dakota's government growing while its population has shrunk is behind the times. The population of North Dakota is greater by 100,000 than is previous upper limit. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/205.56.181.196|205.56.181.196]] ([[User talk:205.56.181.196#top|talk]]) 03:16, 2 May 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Height

[edit]

According to http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=fargohighrise-fargo-nd-usa this is not the highest building in terms of stories -- the Fargo High Rise is taller, at 22. Therefore I am deleting that assertion from the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TravisNygard (talkcontribs)

Criticism?

[edit]

I realise criticism sections, like virtually everything else that made wikipedia interesting and useful back in the day, are now considered somewhat passé by Jimbo and friends, but the complete LACK of criticism in this article really needs to be addressed. Even in cities that are otherwise hideous, American state capitols are almost always beautiful examples of the sort of neo-classical early American architecture that never seemed to catch on elsewhere. But having an eye-meltingly hideous office tower instead is almost an affront to the people of North Dakota. Seriously, this building is so ugly it looks like it belongs in Boston's financial district.

Welcome home, little bro.
