Bisonville is a NICHE chat forum:-) go away troll!

Yes really Steers 2.0. The original Steers is now closed (but with an intriguing new restaurant sign already in place) - Stay tuned...

The former Steers location now has a sign up advertising "Mt. Everest Himalayan" - a web search indicates it's more Indian food coming to GF - BRING IT ON! House of Punjab is AMAZING also if you haven't tried it.

Where did all the foodies go? Chino Latino is finally OPEN in the old Scottys Deli location (drive through only for now) but it's totally worth a try. Best of Steers and the Steers Food Truck food plus some new items in a much better located, MUCH BETTER named and branded restaurant. Little awkward with the low drive-up menu - a passenger might have to get out of the car but the staff is patient and happy to answer questions. Takes a little time but we got a couple extras ordering while bantering with the staff - they're great! Unique and tasty food - don't know what to get try the Korean BBQ Chicken and a couple Samosas to start. Lots of international options so plenty to explore in future visits. FINALLY - Well done Elias Dean! Look up their Facebook for his story about arriving in the US with $200 in his pocket and paying that up front for just rent. He went to work at McDonald's for his first job and now he owns a restaurant right beside the place where he got his start. An inspiring story of the American dream for a hardworking entrepreneur.

$2 million a year from FORUM Communications??? BUWAHHAHAHAHAHHHA!!! Don't do drugs man - they are bad for you Entz/Tailpipe smokers!

That's the problem with UND Marketing jobs - they don't pay sh*t! If you could get someone to take the job they won't kep it because they can make more money....ANYWHERE! Been a problem for a long time...they need to address it. Get someone GOOD in that job and pay them - it would go a long way.

WOW have not heard one thing about this but it looks....interesting. They're promising a LOT for the first year. I would have thought a ND Renaissance Faire would be elections where democrats would actually have a chance to win but that's just me:-) KIDDING - I joke I joke lol

The SkyVu rules! These are almost extinct but if you have kids take them to a drive-inn movie - it's worth the memories. They will always remember it.

I concur! The out of state corporate a-holes that own it use the Columbia Mall property as a tax write off. They don't give a sh*t about it but it's a "tax-plus" in their portfolio so no reason to do anything about it. That's why they can tell the young Snow Cone kids who were the kind of inventive entrepreneurs that mall NEEDS to essentially "GET OFF THEIR LAWN!" They know they're a-holes but they don't care. They only care about the bottom line and they're not from here - that's a problem. The only reason West Acres is still a thing in Fargo is it's locally owned and the owners are pivoting constantly to keep stores and spaces relevant. We went through THE METRO last weekend and the WA parking lot was FULL of cars. If you can find more than 10 cars in one space at Columbia Mall it's only in the Scheels Parking lot and that's only because Scheels is the last viable big anchor in the mall. It's only a matter of time for JC Penney on a corporate level and then Columbia mall is really f*cked.

Better the Alerus Center does better for the city - the Ralph is doing fine on their own with their selected events. I see the Al has put out a pre-emptive "Here's what you need to know before the Alan Jackson Concert" with suggestions and plans how to attend a huge concert in GF with options and new ideas to hopefully AVOID all the constant bitching and whining - plan ahead? What an idea! Take heart Alerus Concertgoers - the solution is at hand! PS - It's still going to take half an hour to more than an hour to get out of the parking lot - DEAL WITH IT! Hide a couple beers in a cooler in the car and take your time leaving. There's no rush. You know BY NOW it's going to take some time so factor that in. The best concert experience is all about planning:-) Enjoy the show!

Two separate locations - the one by the Frat was a basement store - ONLY convenience store on campus at the time. The one on Stanford was a block off Gateway behind the building that used to be a laundromat and carwash and across from the old Frenchys. The building is still there but its some weird office or something now.

A block off Gateway - behind the building that used to be a carwash and laundry and is now a Somali restaurant. Across from where Frenchy's used to be.

I've been saying this all along. I hate to tell you this but the HOME of the FIGHTING SIOUX University/Aerospace division also....ssshhhh....actually TRAINS Chinese students to FLY and has for 35 years. Chinese students that could learn to fly then pilot privately made CIRRUS/CHINA-owned aircraft to fly over FuFeng to pick up some milled corn products infused with DRONES from the UND E-Sports Program (also affiliated with China by proxy) and sprinkle corn flake flavored spy-e-ness over all of our country? Shouldn't UND be the target for TRAINING the commies? Those bastards!

so....what generation are you from Mr. Magic? and how did YOU prevent this country from running into the ground? I got a participation ribbon from an elementary school playday in 1978 and wiped my ass with it. I also watched a recent ASSHOLE president we had whine and lie about being cheated out on election 2 years ago he's still CRYING about now. !@#$ HIM! He couldn't prove !@#$ and still can't. He's just a little orange-tufted pussy who hopefully the DOJ is tracking. VERY SAD!

Came into the VD on Stanford where I worked graveyards after 1am - liked pizza rolls, Geno's !@#!$ frozen pizza and dry humor. I could make him laugh but it was like a corpse coughing. You could tell he wasn't long for this world (early '90's) PS - Pat Sweeney also frequented the Stanford VD - bought a lot of Eskimo Pies to my recollection. Nice guy but also odd like Karl.

I have the original recipes for the fishbowls! I sold the !@#$ out of them on a cd on Ebay 10 years ago - for you I will make a deal* *Seriously - went to the Ho Auction and they had a box that included a lot of sheets of paper - they WERE the original fishbowl recipes! I got it for like $5 and made hundreds if not nearly thousands of dollars from them plus a lot of old Ho items. I won't even go into what I got for buying hundreds of the old pewter French Onion Soup bowls. They were amazing! AND i still have 1 of original "Al's Pasta Parlor" violin case arrow signs in my bar. The old HO fucking RULED man!

It's called sarcasm. Social Security has been on a death spiral LONG BEFORE these little self-important self-centered aholes came on the scene and only thought about themselves. The boomers payed their own way all along - they just want what's due to them. If you take out a student loan to pay for college - that's on you! I worked a full time job and an part time job (60+ hours a week) and finished with a degree and no loans. Wasn't fun but I was young and did it because I worked my ass off - I'm proud of that. I don't give 2-shits about whiny millennials today...Rudy G would call them the "P" name but I won't because I hate Rudy.

COVFEFE my brother!

No but at least you would own SOMETHING instead of throwing your money away on rent for a "good time". We didn't buy a "DUMP" (fu) but it was an older house that we've invested in with a new 2 car garage, new windows, new roof, all kinds of things. It's about investment on every level but it will pay off for us in the end. There's a very small house on the next block to me - they're marketing it as a "Tiny House" - lol! They did a total remod inside and out. It has a 2 car garage that might actually be BIGGER than the house and they're asking $150,000! No takers yet but lots of lookers...but again at least you'd own something instead of nothing. Best of luck to the kids who want to live for today with all the amenities but no investment. THANK GOD Social Security will be around to take care of them in their.....nevermind

The lifestyle for NOW - go ahead and throw away rent for 30 years and end up with nothing to show for it. They can't afford a home they THINK they deserve right out of the chute that's probably way beyond their means right now but if they could get into a smaller starter home and work their way up they'd actually own something worth something at the end of the road. The real problem is a lack of small starter homes for new home buyers combined with the fact a small older place is "unacceptable" for today's renters because they think they deserve more immediate satisfaction (and less maintenance work) out of renting. We bought our house in North GF right after the flood - small and not perfect by any means but it was what we could afford at the time. Bought in - maintained and improved it and now we could easily sell it for way more than twice what we payed for it. The bank made out great on the mortgage they sold us but at least we'll have an asett we can sell to get most of that money back. Renters just keep throwing money into the wind with nothing to show for it.

GF/EGF do like their COMMITTEES! sigh

The idea of a new business/industry is to DRAW people to town - not draw/drain the local labor pool. This will - because they can't fill all these jobs locally - much like when Marvin Windows and Amazon come to town - the salaries and prospects are the draw. It's called economic development.

Don't you guys still have that giant FILTHY gross embarrassing MOUNTAIN OF SNOW FROM LAST WINTER (aka Mt. FARGO) melting on the edge of town somewhere? THERE'S an attraction for you Magical Metro!

That's a shame...I would have thought the METRO would have an AirSHO - oh welll

WHHHAATTT?? They could fly over the Red Pepper and magically absorb by some "ancient chinese secret" the White Sauce recipe or GOD FORBID the recipe for the "Schneider"??? Where will this insanity end??? I blame Bo or possibly Mr. Lee!
