I think I only went to the GF one maybe once or twice. The girls I dated always preferred the EGF one. 

That's just it. The EGF one is the best movie theater in the area by far. Even Fargo doesn't have anything that can match it.

There's now even a movie themed bar and restaurant attached to it.

Not too mention all the other great restaurants within a few seconds walk.

Great for date night.

Movie theaters are more history.  Blue moose is a great restaurant.  I always enjoy.

I dont recall noticing a big difference in the theaters themselves but the area over there is great.

AMC was outdated and obsolete, but in lieu of remodeling, they utilized their "AMC Classic" branding and showed first-run films at a slightly discounted rate.  Standard seating throughout. 

River Cinema is an independent and has taken steps to upgrade its moviegoing experience with reclining and heated seats.  Generally a good value, and I have found that I enjoy the indie experience a bit 'moore,' plus you have local ownership.  The quirky local pre-show ads with bad jingles are a hidden plus. 

So while having options is usually a good thing, and AMC was better for a Southsider who decided at the last minute to catch a show, greater Grand Forks shouldn't suffer too much. If movies make a huge comeback, then I would expect a modern new experience on the west side of the Red in a year or two.

Stopped in the other night - not bad.   They seem like a "healthy" lunch place mostly but are open until 7pm.   We went with light appetites not knowing what to expect.   I ordered the "Sail Bowl" - medium - a mixture of many healthy ingredients with a base of frozen or partially thawed mush.   I guess you're supposed to mix it all together - it was good!   THAT being said...

FYI - Don't forget your wallet!  Medium cups were $12-$14.   More substantial than what it seems - not QUITE enough to be a stand alone meal on its own.  Good luck to them - bad visibility spot for 32nd.   But again GOOD LUCK!

his fake receipts might be the reason why he never seemed concerned that he never ever had customers when i would visit ferguson?

No further questions your honor:whistling::blink:

KFC sucks.  If you want decent fried chicken try the Boss!  Hands down best fried chicken in town and their pies are great also.  Discovered them staying in Sioux Falls years ago - plus they deliver late.

KFC cole slaw back in the day was 1000x better than today. 

Yep, and I'm pretty sure we can blame the low-calorie craze. The Whopper and Big Mac used to be much better, too. They all switched to light mayonnaise to cut calories.

Eat right; exercise; die anyway.
