  1. I thought ya all would like that. She use to religiously record "Knots Landing" back in the day. She is getting the complete first season on DVD....ssshhh. Don't tell her.
  2. I was under the impression that was legal? He's recording tv shows/sports events. If I tape Days of Our Lives and I trade it for a Sioux hockey game tape with my mom, we are breaking the law?
  3. When they announced their transition, checking out NKU on wiki, it seemed like a perfect DI fit. Nice on campus arena, no football, Kentucky loves basketball, good student population. The Summit will have a good pickup. The Savior.
  4. Three days later it seems the Herald did an article on my post: Confident retailers, eateries flock to Grand Forks
  5. Sandusky was interviewed on Rock 30. Hard to listen to. Asked if he was sexually attracted to young boys. He beat around the "bush" and then....finally...said no. Morning talk show hosts really ripping into Penn State saying they need to shut the athletic programs down for a year.
  6. I completely agree. While taxes are an essential part of a modern society, it never made sense to me to have to "rent" your house from the government. There ain't one place you can live "free" in America. Closest thing I could think of is living on a frozen lake, but you have to pay the government for an ice shelter tag.
  7. Am I the only one that gets creeped out looking at your avatar?
  8. Its like anything you build. The condos next to the Memory Care center (old batting cages). Menards strip mall. The Strip Mall across from Golden Corral. Been built for years and still not full. Yes they had high asking prices in the beginning. But it is starting to fill in now. I was there not long ago painting. The secret is they aren't finished. They have show units, and then finish your unit to your specs as you buy it. Third floor: golf side: probably the nicest view in GF. Grand Forks only "lake" view.
  9. I could on and on. While doing the Country Inn and Suites few years back, they were talking about building another hotel next door. The Kings Walk Condos, opened last winter, and if a few more units get sold are suppose to build another. Whether or not these come to fruition might be a different story.
  10. Lets not forget the new Wellness Center, an Altru building going by it. The Aurora hospital being bought by Indianans and suppose to open soon. Its been finished inside for awhile, but many change orders. Fellow told me Hugos paid a hefty sum to buy land next to the Wellness. It's crazy with all the construction but GFs growth still seems to be last (among the big four).
  11. It seems the largest thing going for Grand Forks is the strong Canadian dollar, there are many new restaurants that have been built/open in GF: Old Leevers getting a Japanese steak and seafood, Ruby Tuesdays, Pizza Ranch, Olive Garden, Five Guys, JL Beers. I am sure I am missing some. Only restaurants I can think to close down were Whiteys and Applebees (EGF). With Whiteys already reopen and Applebees becoming a Drunken Noodle soon (Fargo company). GF just had its largest ever sales tax collection (month or quarter). With such low unemployment (some going to the oil fields) you are seeing some wages increase: Radio ad for cooks at the new Ruby Tuesdays start at $14. Riddles Jewelry also opened next door. Remodeled half the Cirrus plant to turn it into the new expanded Amazon. I think they were looking to hire 200 or so when the project was completed in the summer. All the drywall companies seem to stay busy, which is a rare other places in the country (so I hear). I know some Fargo companies were coming to GF bidding on the new house construction (http://www.jmhomesinc.com/). The hotel next to the Alerus is about to open. There is another one planned across the street for next year. Two 36 plex apartments going up by the Columbia Mall, 9 plex being built by clear channel downtown, another apartment is going up next to the newly constructed one that was just finished where the old civic was. The bad part is new homes are really only being built in one area of town; area just North of South Middle school, as all the land in South GF is mainly monopolized by the Useldinger Family. Short answer yes its strong.
  12. The crappiest $3.6 Million house in the country? http://www.realtor.c...0996?source=web I do drywall and painting for a living. I know on some of those message boards, many drywallers have pondered the thought of moving out to the area for work, myself included. But the housing situation is definitely a deterrent to many. I wanna get my slice of the pie. I have gotten a few calls from construction companies in the oil fields. "You wanna submit a bid for a Hotel we are building in Tioga?"
  13. You mean apartment? If she bought a house she wouldn't have been in the predicament.
  14. I don't think moderators should lock topics cause they are "bored" with it.
  15. Like Almostheacen2011 says, I know if these oil companies kept hounding me to pay me 4x what I was currently getting for rent. I would probably say ok. Like star said part of the reason for the high prices is government. Many of those communities outlawed these mancamps. Were they able to predict the unexpected consequences??? NO. At $2,00+ month rent. How hard can it be to build a bunch of apartment complex's. The place would essentially be paid for in 2-3 years. Pure profit after that. And they can bulldoze it later and the owners wouldn't care.
  16. Many hardcore "druggies" prefer prescription drugs. They think its the best thing ever. Too many prescription drugs to mention. Half are basically the same and crack/meth/etc. I know people who fake something to go to the ER all the time for "drugs." The government is in the drug dealing business.
  17. Spencer Miller is that you?
  18. Just because you like to think Penn State might be the rule and not the exception doesn't make it so either. What's you point? I guess we will never know. Do you want to get a janitor job and tell the coach you saw someone having sex with boys in the shower and see what happens? Maybe try it at your job.
  19. You want to discuss DU and CC with UND fans? Wouldn't you want to discuss those teams with DU and CC fans? People see you as the definition of narcissistic. But I am sure you love being called that.
  20. Cause we like to think if a coach knows a guy in the administration has sex in his showers with young boys, the said coach would want to see that guy face criminal charges.....at least after the 3rd time? But wait the posts above even say the Penn State police even know about it, but did nothing. Failure at so many levels. It's like WTF...everything else aside. Public showers?
  21. That's the dichotomy between thought and action. Simply "asking for discussion" rarely gets it. Essentially discussing discussion. What do you wanna talk about? I won't insert a Penn St joke. that might be too insensitive. This thread is about other teams scores. FYI there are tons of threads dedicated to talking Sioux Hockey: might try "If you were coach thread."
  22. Bread is the real culprit of Americas problems: http://monster-island.org/tinashumor/humor/breadkills.html

    UC Davis

    Mussman would say "more focused" on the road. Not as many "distractions."
  24. Maybe tomorrow Jim K. will pronounce it to the world on Monday Night Football.
