LIVING THE LUX LIFE:
A PROFILE OF LUX COMMUNITIES AND THEIR MISSION by Paul Hankel
While Lux Communities (Lux) would be considered a relatively young property and development company, their impressive list of stylish and wellsituated properties says otherwise. Shop Dine Live sat down with Lux’s Vice President, Donna Block, and Marketing Specialist, Heather Zinger, to get a look inside the company and its mission.
Tell us a little bit of history about Lux Communities.
Tell us a little bit about 300lime, your most recently created project.
“Lux Communities was started about five years ago, in conjunction
“We are downtown Fargo’s first amenity-packed, lifestyle-driven apartment
with Enclave Development, its sister company, whom develops all our
community. Everything from the huge rooftop deck, to the yoga studio and
properties.”
bike workstation, was designed with user experience in mind.”
Which properties do you manage and where are they located?
Where did the design inspiration for 300lime come from?
“Currently we operate in Fargo, Moorhead and Grand Forks and maintain roughly 2,000 units between those three cities. “
“When we started the 300lime project, we first looked at the other metropolitan areas and the amenities that those properties had, in terms of renter experience. We looked at, for example, Minneapolis, Denver, and
Lux manages and operates an impressive number of properties in the Fargo-Moorhead area, including: 300lime Northtown Crossing The Retreat at Urban Plains Encore at Urban Plains The Addition Stonecrest Apartments
Seattle and then brought some of those ideas to 300lime. “ The 300lime project is also seeking to incorporate local elements, in terms of artwork and interiors. “One of the things we’re most excited about is that we are doing a partnership with the Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists. Every couple months we will feature a new artist’s works in the art gallery in the lobby.” Lux Communities appears to be embracing technology, in the form of using live video, being active on social media. Talk a little bit about that. “We understand that our target market is all going digital. We need to be where those people who want to rent our apartments are going to be, and right now that’s online. For example, Facebook is rapidly becoming the number one lead source for apartments.”
Lux also has several properties located in Grand Forks, North Dakota. What is the mission of Lux Communities? “Lux wants to provide residents with upscale yet affordable living options. We want people who are searching for a home to say specifically ‘I want to live in a Lux apartment.’ We really want to challenge our competitors to build better products. It raises the standard across the board.” How is Lux Communities and its properties unique?
Lux also cited that using newer digital strategies such as having local influencers and working with creative companies will pay off in regards to exposure. Any upcoming projects? “We do have an upcoming project set for next year called Uptown and Main. It will be a mixed-use property featuring multi-family living spaces and retail. “
“Because we are a development company too, we have the luxury of

Boarding Your Pet in Fargo by Jamee Larson
Many people planning holiday travel find themselves trying to decide between bringing their pet along or utilizing a boarding service. It can be a difficult decision, as many consider their animals part of the family and do everything they can to avoid a lengthy separation. The thought of dropping your pet off with strangers can be worrisome. Traveling with a pet, however, is not always in their best interest.

Southern Soul Food & West Indian Cuisine by Jamee Larson For Darrell and Celena Randle, food is an extension of their compassionate hearts, allowing them to infuse their personalities and beliefs into everything they cook. Thanks to the opening of their restaurant Daran’s Southern Soul Food & West Indian Cuisine, the entire Fargo/Moorhead area is able to enjoy their passion. Darrell and Celena Randle moved to Fargo with their three children (their fourth was born last year) in 2011. Darrell, born and raised in Miami, and Celena, originally from Brooklyn, have always shared a deep connection to food. Whether cooking for their children or enjoying a meal with family and friends, their food has always been a labor of love and a way to express their deep appreciation and gratitude for everything around them. In order to bring that spark to a wider audience, the Randles decided to open their own restaurant. When the Randles moved to Fargo, they could sense that something was missing: There were no restaurants that served authentic soul food or West Indian Cuisine. As the Randles began building a home for their family in the Midwest, they longed for the tastes of home. Together, the couple decided to change that. “The desire to open this restaurant here was to bring the cultural flavors and foods we were accustomed to with us to our new home,” Darrell explained. The Randles believe in the power of family. (The name “Daran’s” is made with the first initials of the Randle children’s first names.) Celena’s family is from Guyana and North Carolina, while Darrell’s hails from

said. “The décor is something of a homelike feel, with a modern Randle twist.” Darrell hopes that Daran’s not only provides Southern transplants with a touch of home, but also helps locals expand both their palettes and their understanding of unfamiliar cultures. He invites everyone to step out of their comfort zones. “Soul food is comfort food, and in today’s world, where there is so much hatred, violence, and financial difficulties, we can all use more comforting, and in this case, comfort food,” he explained. “It

Who among us doesn’t like finding a good treasure? Of course, the definition of “treasure” can mean different things to different people, but the concept is still the same. There’s a bargain hunter inside all of us. Thanks to places like Phat Kat Antiques & Vintage Vinyl, you have a place to let yours shine. Owner Shannon Grindberg grew up in the Fargo/Moorhead area, and his love for collecting things spawned the opening of the store. “I’ve always collected something, from Star Wars to Hot Wheels to records,” he said. “I used to go to this huge flea market in Denver

and kind of learned the ins and outs of running a store from there.” Grindberg has been involved in the industry in one form or another for the past 20 years. “After seeing what gets bought and sold, I decided to switch from bigger furniture pieces to smaller items, one being vinyl,” he explained. “I just decided that records seemed like a great way to go, seeing that I love music.” Phat Kat sells a wide variety of items, including pop culture memorabilia that any new collector can relate to. The walls of Phat Kat are lined with posters from the music and entertainment industry, and an impressive selection of antiques lines the store’s shelves. According to Grindberg, music is still one of his biggest hits. “The experience of listening to vinyl is much more pleasant than digital music,” he said. “I think that, overall, people like antique shops because they have things they don’t need. The things we want make us feel a lot better when we buy them.”

Christmas Concert By Jamee Larson
The Concordia Christmas Concert is one of the most popular
31 HD TV’s
holiday events in the area. The concert has a storied history that is as impressive as its music itself. If you have never been to a performance, strongly consider adding it to your holiday itinerary. You will never take it off. The history of the concert can be traced all the way back to 1927, when Cara Duea, Concordia’s piano and organ professor, founded the Concordia Music Club. One of their activities was the Christmas concert, which was performed in Old Main’s chapel.
The concert continued at Concordia or Moorhead’s
Trinity Lutheran Church until 1943, when it was moved to the
Great Pub Food
Moorhead Armory to accommodate the ever-increasing public demand. By 1946, three performances were held annually. Within six years, five more were required to handle the demand. In 1952, the performances moved to Concordia’s Memorial Auditorium, where they have been held ever since. Over the past decade, the concert has begun taking advantage of society’s technological advances. For instance, the mural that serves as the choir’s backdrop has been digitally designed and printed ever since Paul Johnson first accomplished the feat in

2009. Instead of hand painting the design, volunteers and staff affix large sheets of printed graphics to wood panels. The result is stunning backdrops that help the beautiful Christmas music come to life. Gordon Moe, manager of choral ensembles and executive producer of the Concordia Christmas Concert, managed his first set of concerts in 1989. This year, Moe will produce his 130th Christmas concert, and he sees no reason to believe the popularity of the event will decrease any time soon. “The Concordia Christmas Concerts remain relevant and timeless because they illuminate the birth story of Jesus Christ

the music is primarily classical choral and orchestral literature, the massive art installation reinforces the lyric and concert theme, and we are blessed with professional quality narrators,” Moe said. Beyond that, however, no two concerts are exactly alike. For those who have never attended a Concordia Christmas Concert,

Moe believes that the scale of the production is unlike anything they may have ever experienced. “Photos and videos simply cannot convey that magnitude of the event,” he explained. “An individual has to experience the 350 voices, 75 instruments, original art the size of three basketball courts, and 3,200 participating audience members.” In other words, you have to see it to believe it. Moe would like to assure our readers that the rumor that the four Concordia Christmas Concerts are always sold out is only just that. “Although the concerts are very successful, my ongoing challenge

as the concert’s promoter is to inform everyone that ‘tickets are still available for all performances,’” said Moe. In 2017, there will be four performances in Moorhead and two in Minneapolis. The Moorhead concerts will be held on December 1st at 7:00 pm, December 2nd at 2:00 pm at 7:00 pm, and December 3rd at 2:00 pm. Since 1919, over one million listeners have attended the Christmas concert.

Christmas by David Scheller

time by delivering presents only to good children. Santa Claus has his own postal code in Canada: HOH OHO In a letter to his brother written on Christmas in 1750, Benjamin Franklin describes the time he almost died trying to electrocute a turkey: “I have lately made an Experiment in Electricity that I desire never to repeat. Two nights ago being about to kill a Turkey by the Shock from two large Glass Jarrs containing as much electrical fire as forty common Phials, I inadvertently took the whole thro’ my own Arms and Body.” On average, Minnesota gets five to ten times more snow each year than Antarctica does. The world record for largest Santa Claus gathering was set on December 27th, 2014 by 18,112 people in Kerala, India.
Large
gatherings of Santas can be perilous: In 2004, the annual gathering of Santas in Newtown, Wales ended in a mass brawl resulting in the arrests of up to 30 people.

The original Santa Claus was from Turkey and rode a donkey named Gui. He could be accompanied by a character called Father Whipper who specialized in punishment for naughty children rather than gifts. What kind of punishment, no one can say. The makeup Jim Carrey wore while filming How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) took three hours to apply and another one to remove. Carrey found the process so excruciating that he sought advice from a CIA agent on how to endure torture. Every year at the Dresden Zoo after Christmas, the animals who are so inclined to eat them enjoy a feast of discarded Christmas trees. Elephants can eat five Christmas trees in one sitting, not counting ornaments.

North American reindeer have the longest migration route of any mammal on earth. Some subspecies of reindeer make clicking sounds so they can stay together in blizzards. In A Christmas Story (1983), when the bully Scut Farkas first appears, the wolf theme from Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf plays. “Farkas” is Hungarian for wolf.
