Or this, which just so happens to occupy former anchor space in an older strip mall (a la Scheels in GF): http://www.amazingpizzamachine.com/ Or this chain I mentioned earlier, which in Tulsa sits in a former Venture department store: http://www.incrediblepizza.com/ There are so many good examples of repurposed retail space...I just hope we can turn the Scheels experience into a win-win.

Thanks for dusting this one off, Werewolf. I had forgotten I wrote it. With Scheels nearing completion and reality, this is a valid conversation to have. Of course, it's a good news/bad news thing, right? Great news for Columbia Mall and the key to a possible jump-start and renaissance. Not so good for the present location, which leaves a big footprint to fill. See, e.g., Exhibits A-Z: dozens of former Wal-Mart stores around the country abandoned for SuperCenters, the former still sitting vacant 5-10 years later. Which leads me conveniently to the next point…we need somebody with vision and capital. The current Scheels store could be a great project. Think indoor entertainment venue. Think Dave & Busters. Think Incredible Pizza Company. How many putt-putt holes are there in the Forks? NONE. How many go-cart tracks? NONE. How many laser tag arenas? NONE. How many batting cages? A couple. How many arcades? A couple. How long was this past winter? SIX MONTHS! Anybody else smell opportunity here? IMHO, Grand Forks needs a quality of living boost, and the Arts Corridor alone is not going to cut it.

So what you are in favor of, then, is more-atorium?

Was that a factory option from Chevrolet, or is it aftermarket?

I think it will be a half-day course during which the students must watch the extended director's cut of "Dances with Wolves" and then participate in a brief but de-humanizing restroom session entitled "What if there were no T.P.?"

Lithia could be the primary sponsor..."That's a Lithia Ford Explorer (goal/touchdown/home run)!"

The statute actually says that UND may not "adopt or implement" a nickname until 2015. Whether or not a selection process can begin - publicly or privately - prior to January 1 is up for debate.

Please don't confuse bad or unpopular decisions by a client with bad advice from a lawyer. Attorneys get a bad enough rap as it is.

Now, Fargo getting its Firehouse. http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/433486/ What's a guy gotta do to get a decent sandwich in the Forks?

Dentists, oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, trauma surgeons, and prosthodontists, too! Everybody except for the schools' health plan administrators.

Step 1: Hire this guy

An unfortunate typo there.

My gfhockey-to-English translator is a bit off, but I swear I thought that read 'we have more taint than most teams.' Then I wondered, is that an official NCAA statistic?

Denver wishing they had stayed home.

I like UND's chances…Ferrous State will be rusty.

I liked where this was going.

Logo-less UND getting absolutely no love whatsoever from the national media. I don't even know whose logo this is. Of course, Yahoo! was using the Sioux logo for football just last year.

...I'll shout when it measures eleven! (I love Night Court!)

Fish happy to be on the ice…was lonely in the stands.

Maybe Omaha should scale back those plans for a 7k seat arena. Sad.

Potbelly coming to Fargo in Summer 2014. http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/428972/ Can a GF location be far behind? (Pretty please, restaurant gods?) Or maybe a Firehouse?

If you are a Midco subscriber, you will need to log in using your Midco TV EVERYWHERE login, which may be based on an e-mail other than the one at which you regularly receive e-mails from Midco. I don't use a Midco e-mail account and learned this the hard way the other day, missing a lot of the game. If you are a TV EVERYWHERE noob or only use it occasionally, before going to NBC, have your regular Midco account login information handy so that you can figure out your TV EVERYWHERE login information.
