Face-off: Which Fargo South Parking Lot is the Best!?

Jennifer Espinoza and Ram Thang

In favor of the South lot:

The absolute best part of the south parking lot is the fact that Sherry is always there to greet you as you walk in through the doors.

The fact that she knows mostly everyone’s names is shocking and when she greats you; it can make you feel special and it will turn your tired long boring morning to a tired nice start to your school day.

Besides that, the south lot is the place to be. It’s easy to see why. Not only does it offer more parking spots but it also allows you to drive without being rushed or feeling anxious with buses.

The north lot has too little space and too many angry parents.

The south lot has two exits — three if you count the exit for the Sports Arena.

The arena is another plus to the south parking lot. Many kids park there as well because they don’t have a sticker to be able to park in the school parking lot. In the north parking lot, there’s no place you can park without a sticker, making you need to have a sticker to be able to park in a small cramped parking lot. Many Students agree with me too. Here’s what they had to say:

“Quieter, more space and SHERRY!”

“Less busy, easier to pull maneuvers, no buses to worry about”

“There is always a spot available”

“South lot is bigger, plus someone took my bumper sticker off in the North Lot once. I want it back.”

“The south parking lot is for beautiful, amazing, perfect people ONLY. This simple rule makes it exponentially better than the North parking lot.”

In favor of the north lot:

The north parking lot is better than the south lot because it’s more convenient.

It is a closer walking distance to the school’s entrance. On the other hand, you’ll have to walk quite a distance if you park at the South parking lot.

Why is this relevant you might ask, well let’s say that you are running late to a class, you will save time by parking at the North parking lot. On the contrary, you’ll be more likely to be tardy if you park at the South parking lot if you are running late.

Some other conveniences are the people and the cars parking at the north lot. The people are more fun, lit and interesting than the south lot because we just are. The south lot got nothing on us.

The north lot also has the coolest cars parked at school. I’ve seen some brand new cars, cars that have mods and cars of all sorts. This diversity of the north parking lot is incomparable to the south lot.

With that being said, I conclude my claim that the north parking lot is better and more convenient than the south parking lot. Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some students had to say about the North lot.

“It’s really busy, but it’s what I’m used to.”

“My locker is at this end, plus it’s just better.”

“The walking distance is so much better since my first class is super close to the north parking lot and because I can make a quick escape during lunch.”

“Because it has character, never a dull moment going on. It’s full of surprises … one time someone almost hit me lol.”
