Heated parking. -
What's your explanation, then, genius? You seem to know everything. You going with the Kennedy connection, the Engelstad connection, the "Fighting Hawk Acceptance" theory, or what? Or did the foundation just suddenly pull its head out of its ass and start working harder? I'll wait...
-
How am I wrong? Do you have the data to prove or disprove that the dollar value of planned gifts exceeded the value of unplanned gifts? Do wills not provide for gifts to UND that have not been pre-planned with the foundation?
-
Possible, but more likely a disproportionate number of high-level donors died as compared to recent years. A statistical outlier, perhaps, but hardly beyond the realm. I do think that trying to look for obvious causes (nickname, president, foundation leadership, current climate on campus) is foolish. There are far too many plausible explanations that have nothing to do with the perpetual hand-wringing we see on here over day-to-day matters about which most old people with money and connections to UND probably have zero interest or awareness.

Hot take: Lots of people died who were going to "donate" eventually; has nothing to do with any one person, event, or fundraising strategy. Hotter take: Record fundraising could have saved music therapy (and perhaps other programs and jobs) from the chopping block...where was all of this generous philanthropy the past couple of years?

FFS, can the Herald be any more obvious in baiting the Kennedy bashing? https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4054061-Question-for-Joshua-Wynne-What-were-legitimate-issues-at-UND What a pathetic little rag. On its way to extinction, and not a moment too soon.

Never thought I'd live to see this, but probably a long time coming.

For now and the foreseeable future, yes. EGF connector road would help spur growth southward, but not much, and it would be prohibitively expensive. Bygland south of the middle school just hasn't taken off. Does anybody have any data (or even just anecdotal or personal observations) on housing starts in EGF? I've got to believe it's pretty dire.

Tell that to the people east of Belmont. As to whether 47th was "designed to be an arterial," reasonable minds may differ. A suburban "2 lanes plus a center turn" sort of arterial in a town like GF, probably. A major arterial served by a bridge and feeding traffic from across the river, maybe not, and there just isn't much room to grow along 47th. Bridge landings and approaches require a fair amount of space, especially if you want a flood-proof bridge with a deck that clears the flood wall without being crazy steep. The dike is close enough to Belmont that the designers don't have a lot of options.
-
It doesn't have the driveways, true, but you're looking at a lot of yards that will be heavily impacted, and homes and land to obtain via eminent domain. ANY widening of 47th will require a lot of work and will result in no shortage of unhappy taxpayers. Don't blame me or any of the anti-47th crowd...blame the city planners for not preserving enough land along 47th in the first place.
-
Let's face it...32nd and 47th may be "arterial" in some people's minds, but it's in theory only. With existing setbacks and developed properties, neither street is adequately prepped for heavy traffic east of Washington. I still contend that there's significantly more land for an approach on the ND side at 32nd. At 47th, you've got precious little real estate between the river, the flood wall, and Belmont, which probably translates to a much steeper rise and higher costs. In any event, the Merrifield bypass needs to occur first so as not to tempt the beet drivers and other heavy truck traffic to drive through the area wherever the new neighborhood bridge is built.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4044848-NDUS-Chancellor-Mark-Hagerott-outlines-behind-the-scenes-exchange-on-Mark-Kennedys-job-search Obsess much? Good God did Kennedy ever get under his skin. Living in the past is so not a good look here. And the GF Herald is feeding right into the dysfunction.

Dangling Chad pride!

https://www.inforum.com/lifestyle/travel/4038136-American-Airlines-to-launch-service-from-Fargo-to-Phoenix A great development for the region, but another kick in the shorts for Grand Forks. Delta shows absolutely zero interest in opening up the country for us; a daily to their hub in SLC would make western travel infinitely easier.

EXCEPT...more exits equals reduced speed. In Fargo the limit goes from 75 to 55 in an instant and stays there on both 29 and 94 (we can certainly argue whether that speed was set appropriately, but that's another topic). Who here wants to be forced to drive 55 through sleepy GFK?

The Sioux Shop and Reebok Authentics at REA were putting former players' names and numbers on current jerseys throughout the Reebok-Brien era (presumably passing some $$$ along to the NHLPA with each one sold). So there are a lot of legit Oshie Reeboks even though he never actually wore one.

Two words. Cracker. Barrel. Bismarck runs circles around GF food-wise. Lucky 13. Famous Dave's. MacKenzie River. Walrus. Space Aliens. Longhorn. Schlotzsky's. I realize that these are mostly chains, but as a non-resident I can't really speak to the local fare. But, please...

"International running back." Any relation to International Man of Mystery? Or International Velvet?

Taco John's on Gateway is closed; sign says "new store coming." Not sure if a new building or a remodel. GF down (at least momentarily) to just a single TJ from what had been for the longest time 3.

Well, at least there won't be burn-in. The home score part, though...maybe they can put in a screen-saver or something.

Dang. I hope your ISP doesn't charge by the ellipsis....Mine doesn't.

Chinese women’s hockey...guess that exhibition game at MSG is out of the question.
