    Not the Columbia Mall property, but I saw this email about a meeting tomorrow night at Hope Church in the Grand Cities Mall\South Forks Plaza.   Hope Church is having a congregational meeting tomorrow night to vote on an offer of selling off the Kmart property.   No idea who the investors are, or what their plans are:

    "We're inviting you to a congregational meeting tomorrow night (June 24) at 7:00 pm at HOPE Church to discuss and vote on the sale of the Kmart building located in the Grand Cities Mall. 

    The Land of HOPE LLC was approached by a group of developers concerning the Kmart building, and they have since placed a formal offer on the building.  We believe that this opportunity is in alignment with our vision for the mall property. The potential sale of the Kmart building is not motivated by financial difficulties.  Tomorrow night will be an opportunity to hear more details, ask questions and vote on if we see this as the proper direction for the development of our property."
     

    What's Needed At The Alerus?

    I did not go to the game against Drake but did hear from my dad that game day programs are no longer being printed.   Does anyone know if this is something that's becoming a trend at other schools around the country?  I think it's a bad idea.  I don't want to constantly be pulling out my phone to determine who's who and I certainly don't want to print the program at home prior to going to the game.  This seems like a bad idea to try to save a few dollars...

     

    Oh and apparently I'm not the only one:  https://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/letters/4649229-Letter-Bring-back-UND-football-programs

     

    Looks like it might be for all sports.    Making a pdf available before the game.    I would always try and get a FB program over the years and it was rare they had anyone selling them on west side of the Alerus.   If I wanted one, I'd have to hike to the east side.   If they discontinued printing them because of low sales, IMO they didn't work very hard at making them available to half the arena.

    What is the cut off age for kids to start needing their own tickets? 

    We've brought grandkids to a game occasionally the last couple years.    I believe the rule is 2 and over needs a ticket.  Under 2 gets in free, but is supposed to sit on a lap.      Our daughter signs our grandkids over 2 up for the Jr. Champions Club every year.    https://fightinghawks.com/sports/2019/5/2/jr-champions-about.aspx?id=1874          I believe it's free to join.   

    With that membership they can get $5 tickets for kids for all football games.    All MBB and WBB games are free for the Jr Champions.   We have used it a lot.  Nice savings.

    I hope I receive my tickets and tailgate pass soon.  I'm getting excited.

    I got my tickets last week, but was getting nervous about tailgate passes.    I talked to Derick, the tailgate guy at UND.   They are getting the passes from the printer this afternoon and hope to have the tailgate passes out in the mail tomorrow.

    Kennedy vs donors... again?

    from the GF Herald   

    Mark Kennedy’s tenure at UND could be nearing its end.

    Multiple sources said Tuesday that rumors about Kennedy’s departure are swirling at the Capitol in Bismarck. Meanwhile, higher-education officials in Bismarck and at UND declined to comment when asked to verify the rumors.

    Kennedy, president of UND since 2016, is rumored to be in line for a higher education position in Colorado.

     Dom Izzo story on state of SU's WBB

      "What has happened to Bison women's basketball?     
     

    It may be the question I get asked most when I'm out.

    The answer? Coaching and recruiting.

    Once the crown jewel of the North Dakota State athletic department, winners of five Divsion 2 national championships, the women's program has become the butt of jokes on social media."

    There's two schools (both much larger than Phoenix) that would be directly between the bridge and main destination for those using that crossing (32nd Ave/S Washington interesection). As someone who drives quite a bit by both spots, I'm not sure the comparison is that close. 

    Not a bad point, but the cities have used pedestrian underpasses in the past for similar situations.  At Wilder school along the very busy Gateway.   On the UND campus,  South Washington by WDAZ, and by the pool in EGF are good examples.    A couple well placed pedestrian underpasses, one on 32nd and one on Cherry would make it workable.  It's really only one school along 32nd, with Kelly's access being on Cherry.  Maybe one over\underpass for each school would adequately address school safety and make this proposed route work.

    The ball was dropped decades ago by leaders of both towns.  A city this size only having 2 single lane bridges and plus the Kennedy has been short sighted and probably hurt growth over that time.
