Weiler, who owns Ecce Art + Yoga gallery in downtownFargo, embraced the challenge of preserving the citys historic

downtown, working with other downtown advocates to createa synergy that would attract entrepreneurs, innovators andcreative people of all sorts.

We want to create an environment where people from allover the country and world can come and work, Weiler says.We have quite a few innovators, people wanting to take risks,people reinvesting in their state. This is an exceptional time inFargo and North Dakota.

Dan Leeaphon, a senior development lead at Microsofts officeshere, who moved from Montreal to Fargo, echoes those thoughts.

There are a lot of folks with huge experience, who just happento live here. You get used to that level of excellence. And thereis a great sense of community it sounds corny, but once youget hooked into it, you feel quite a sense of belonging here,Leeaphon says.

After traveling the world and living inVienna and Southeast China, Mark Weiler

chose to come home to Fargo. What hefound was not the small town vibe hed knowngrowing up here, but an exciting, growing urbanenvironment that became his passion.

One of Downtown Fargos interesting local

businesses,Ecce Art + Yoga includes agallery of local art and offers yoga classes.
