Howard-Binford-Guide-Logo.gif

This weekly freely-distributed magazine, founded in June 1968[1] by the eponymous Howard Binford, was available at numerous Fargo-Moorhead grocery stores, restaurants, and other public places during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Howard Binford's Guide provided a calendar, map, and other lists of various entertainment and night-life activities visitors and residents of the F-M area might enjoy.

In May 1986, Binford sold the Guide and his other publishing venture, Pride Magazine, to Kaye's Printing of Fargo[2] after collapsing in a restaurant in 1985 led him to reevaluate his priorities[3]. Binford stayed on as editor and columnist until his death in 1989.

Publishing under this title ceased with the May 1989 issue[4], shortly after Binford's death, but the magazine has continued into the 21st century as Fargo-Moorhead Magazine[5], published by The Fargo Forum.
