Light Pillars in Minnesota

Fargo (1996)
http://imdb.com/title/tt0116282

Made mention of Brainerd...

Was actually set in Brainerd. They filmed a big police raid scene just
down the block from my house. Brainerd PD was even part of it.
Unfortunatly, we had a winter with very little snow and they had to
relocate to near Fargo, if memory serves. The story was still set here
though.

Funny thing, one of the primary characters, the Sheriff, was a woman
and was pregant in the story. The real sheriff at the time, Frank Ball,
had a hard time convincing some media folks from out of town, who would
call him, that he was the sheriff and no, he wasn't pregnant.

Pretty good flick. Although, we all don't talk like that (well, ok,
maybe just a little...sometimes)
