Bye, bye, Sears. http://www.grandforksherald.com/business/retail/4454050-grand-forks-sears-location-close-september The future of Columbia Mall is dim. Two anchors vacant, food court non-existent. So, does Kmart relocate, or does it continue to wither and die over at the "other" mall?

But in fairness to the trees, barring some horrible latent disease or imminent threat of hazard by falling limbs, it is an embarrassingly lazy way to re-pave a parking lot. How hard would it have been to reconstruct the lot and retain the natural break with the mature trees shading pedestrians and offering some aesthetic benefits? Does the U not wish to provide safe transit for walkers to and from the old med school?

FYP.

You're insane. Art is infinitely subjective. There can be no consensus.

"Better." To whom?

Birds have feathers. They don't wear them. However, if UND was the Molting Hawks, and the feathers simply got stuck there on the way down...

OPEN LETTER TO ALL PROSPECTIVE DONORS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA: Don't. Signed, Everyone here except @Frozen4sioux (Patiently waiting for donations to immediately drop to zero, in awe of own power.)

You do realize, you just called a fellow Sioux fan an "arrogant ashole (sic)" because you believe that some donor somewhere might give so much as a single flying flip about what is said about them anonymously on some sports board. Wow. Think about that for a minute.

I don't think that the ultra-rich are known for their thin skin. But just to be safe, I will lead the charge to say "F*** off, lying Engelstads, and take your stinking money back to the desert. UND don't need you no mo'."

I know it's not universally loved on this board, but I'd settle for Lee Ann Chin.

That court adjourned a long time ago.

You mean, like giving the Engelstad family a pass forever and refusing to acknowledge even the possibility that they may be acting out of self-interest rather than the best interests of UND?

Nominee for best 'your mom' post of 2018.

I think that viewpoint had already been made clear. 25 pages ago.

Now you're just sounding silly. In no version of reality is the reaction to art even remotely capable of being 'objective.' Art is subjective.

It would make an impressive showcase for someone's car collection say, from 1930s Europe.

Definitely not internal. It was some design trade mag or something. It's on here for someone who wants to go digging.

You still don't get it. You followed the words "my opinion" with "objective standard." Does that not seem the least bit contradictory? News flash -- your opinion is the very definition of subjectivity. That's what it means.

Re-read those two sentences. Then have a sober person interpret and explain them to you.

So that's license to abuse and take advantage in perpetuity? Sorry, not buying it. I got railed for my battered wife reference a few days ago, but your attitude is what reinforces it for me.

Not trying to be too insensitive, but is it okay to bring the sticks inside yet?
