jdub27 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 An air museum has been talked about for 20 years now. At least it orginally included a monorail! http://grandforkslife.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-about-that-monorail.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Todays inflation adjusted cost of the building.) Anyone could have one too with all that government money the state of Minnesota and Duluth have spent on it.

Cratter Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 $50,000,000 would probably buy a nice ski resort I've always dreamed about in Grand Forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people dont. Would hard to get a consensus on anything I suppose. There is a consensus on complaining. Not enough to do for young people, don't get good enough recruits. Why can't we have this, Why can't we have that? You can never please that crowd because that is their joy in life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If you want a science museum, contact your legislator. Bismarck and Minot are both getting state-funded science museums in the next couple years. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Hockey Hall of Fame thing is something that needs to be added to the REA, I always thought it would go good between the main entrance and the bookstore. It could be a combined structure... HOF and upper level monorail station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 monorail...let's get real but....you would think that on old fashioned trolley cart that would run from the Union to the end of university from 6am to midnight or so would be awesome.... right down middle of university...free...just jump on and off wherever....

What's likely to happen is...one of the ag equipment auction houses will fold and the stuff will just rust into place right there in the south parking lot. They'll throw up a building around those and call it the ag exhibit. Then they'll rope off part of the tailgating area while in use, and call that the "Effects of alcohol consumption" wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fish you can catch at any lake in ND but here you are in store looking at a fishtank with local native fish in it - WAY TO EXPAND YOUR MIND Cletus! Why don't you ask that nice kid in a Cabela's shirt how YOU can catch such exotic creatures? WAIT FOR IT - Clerk: "Uuuhhhh with all the bait and lures we have in our store sir?" I'm guessing with all the products you sell in your store. No, Kab - a fishing version of TARGE is NOT a chance to expand your mind or intelligence....sorry to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Go ahead and waste the city money they said they could put it up without the money, call their bluff I would like to see a financial statement on how much revenue they think they can pull in with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
