geaux_sioux Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 1 hour ago, SiouxVolley said: It bothers me that are so anti-development that many people are complaining about wrecking the vacant Lyons Auto building and putting up a 6 floor apartment some people actually want to live in. Their complaints are that there is no parking and that Lyons should become a museum, but didn’t state for what. Its like downtown GF just supposed to one giant Pioneer Village romantically symbolizing their childhood but with no people living there and no businesses. Building over the 4th Str Park with apartments came to a vote, so I shouldn’t be surprised. It would be better if Northridge didn’t do everything on the cheap.

The key to grocery store sushi is to microwave it on defrost for a bit to get it slightly warm then it's not half bad. Publix in the southeast is where the party is at.

Publix may be the greatest premium grocery store. But it’s only been expanding north for a little more than a decade, as it has Florida roots. They are expanding further north every year and think it has hit Virginia. Mobile didn’t have one when I left, now it may be the favorite chain there..

Malls everywhere are dying. Heck, walk through West Acres or either mall (Kirkwood or Gateway) in Bismarck. Lots of open slots also. I believe Doug Bergum's vision of having a vibrant downtown with specialty shops and combined use (commercial at street, residences above) is the future. Sure, you'll have some big boxes still; but, the world is becoming online based. Malls are suffering for it. And what'll survive are the specialties, the niche stores. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/28/sears-closing-80-more-stores-in-march-faces-possible-liquidation.html Grand Forks K-Mart on the chopping block for March.

I feel like Hope Church or whoever it is that owns the Grand Cities mall has an idea for this space. They seem pretty proactive at that location.

Grand Forks is actually down a couple Subways now (downtown closed and the one in Subway on 32nd Ave closed). Who would have ever thought the market for bland overpriced subs would cool once tastier options like Erbert Gerbert, Jimmy John's, and Firehouse became more prolific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer is "Other than sweating my balls off 8 months out of the year, I am stuck with Taco Bell rather than God's chosen...T-Johns." It's a crime against humanity every time a T-Johns closes.

Apparently, it happens alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
