I don't get the one at all. Why would Sanford go that route and pick a name already in use? Are they that much of a prick? Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they that much of a prick? Probably. Because Sanford names all of their clinics the exact same: Sanford Health <location> Clinic. I get where the existing clinic is coming from but its not like they picked some completely unique name and are being infringed on. Pretty sure there have been other iterations of "Grand Forks Clinic" in the past prior to them operating under that trade name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZrl Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The City of Grand Forks gained over 6,000 population whereas the GF County outside of the City lost about 20 population. The City of East Grand Forks gained just under 600 population yet Polk County as a whole lost around 500 population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College kids could use it for a full week each school year!! but In all seriousness stuff like that might keep a few more college kids in town in the summer?

Aren’t they planning something like this south of KingsWalk? Is it hard to mitigate against a huge mosquito breeding ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
