NoiseInsideMyHead Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I urge everyone to get out in the next 48 hours and eat somewhere - ANYWHERE - in EAST Grand Forks. Those businesses need it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 To prove his sincerity and gravitas, Governor Walz should voluntarily wear an ankle tracker (key held by MN Senate majority leader) and his real-time location should be available to every Minnesotan via a web browser for the duration of this lockdown. No, actually, as long as he maintains "Executive Powers". Minnesotans deserve to know where their sovereign is at all times in crisis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple-skating to "Endless Love" in a darkened Xcel Energy Center, on a rink of frozen tears of youth hockey players, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God there is so much demand - and such low vacancy - in Grand Forks for strip malls right now. Seriously though, I think the land immediately south of Honda/Nissan is being developed for...wait for it...a strip mall. At least that's what the rendering appeared to show on the sign as I drove by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Here's a food related question for any architects, commercial real estate folks, developers, etc. Are you seeing a COVID-push yet where quick-serve and family casual dining areas will be shrunk down/eliminated, and are construction and design evolving to accentuate both drive-thru and pick-up options? Are people even spending money right now on conventional restaurant spaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO things well be pretty normal with food related places in early summer, drive-thru and pick-up included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you beg folks to come eat in EGF over GF because they need it more, then turnaround and laugh at a post about a GF restaurant closing, and about all the GF vacancies? You’ve helped me decide to spend every dollar on the west side of the river next time I’m in GGF. Enjoy Walz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve helped me decide to spend every dollar on the west side of the river next time I’m in GGF. Enjoy Walz You may be confused. Who was laughing? You need to learn your emojis. I’ve pretty much lamented the loss of every restaurant in GF in this thread, and advocated for many more to open. And pointing out the glut of commercial real estate in GF is hardly controversial. And do whatever you want, but you’re heartless to dismiss the harmful effects of a monthlong closure of MN restaurants that started Friday on a perceived political snub. Your snide reference to Walz implies that you’re far more interested in playing politics than a local economic issue of great public concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think the Horak's own the building next to brick and barley and have tried to use it as an event center of some sort...assuming that whoever owns it decided to move in another direction bc of the plandemic...i see that it is now a second hand/ antique store...
