As long as we're in Moorhead, let's swing by the Comstock Killer, the big brick block, the midcentury hot spot. It's the FM, photographed in that Point-o-Rama style that makes the dullest block look modern and swank. Built in 1950 – as if you couldn’t tell – the FM had a restaurant on the top floor and a coffee shop called "The Barn" off the lobby. Note the strange rings around the corners - for a building so relentlessly linear it seems an odd concession.
