Yup, I remember going there to do the trivia. Another notable absence, in my eyes, is the John Barleycorn. I'm not sure how long that was open though? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Frenchy's my first night in Grand Forks. Ordered and paid for a Mug. Didn't make it back there until I was of legal age 3 1/2 years later. They never could find my mug and I couldn't find my card after several moves(dorm to fraternity to apartment) I would love to have a Mug if anyone knows of any thrift stores that may have some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a buffet. It makes sense. They've been open-and-shut for the past several months, sometimes seemingly for weeks at a time. Staffing has suffered, and not all of their grillers are created equally. Would hate to lose them, as it's a concept that generally works and has no equal nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Pitchers at the Spud 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Buck Pitchers at the Bridge 3 p.m.-7 p.m. 2 for 1's at the Bridge 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Head over to the Antique and Whitey's until closing time and back to campus to rest since We were probably hosting an All Campus party on Saturday night.

Cratter Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Eide dealership seemed to close up and move out almost overnight after 60 years in GF.

I don't think it was a big secret to begin with and it was in the news a week or two before they closed. Guessing having Hyundai as a single flagged dealership was tough.
