Cratter Posted April 30, 2024 Author Posted April 30, 2024 Dang. It's in Minnesota. So not the correct thread. There's a new bar in the works in Moorhead. Called Starbird Lounge. (Airplane mode) Just happens, I recently got into tiki. So I'll be curious to see what its like. Also sad 2 see the iconic Psycho Suzi's closed in Minneapolis. But now I see I have to check out: Rum Row and Tilted Tiki in Stillwater. Don't watch Spikes Breezeway Cocktail Hour on youtube. It's not good for the waistline. Quote
Cratter Posted May 11, 2024 Author Posted May 11, 2024 Fargo residents complaining about all the strip malls...feel like I've heard that before. Quote Lifelong Fargo resident, Persephone Snow says, “We get a lot of expensive, overpriced new spaces that nobody wants or could afford.” She says she’s concerned about the number of new developments going up.

Cratter Posted May 26, 2024 Author Posted May 26, 2024 From what I believe is the Bemidji Chamber of Commerce website... That's impressive. Growing faster than Fargo. Surprised I had never heard that. 1 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 People fleeing MSP for the "mostly rocks and cows*" up north in Bemidji? I also perceive (in my travels) that the Brainerd/Baxter area is growing. *that's a quote of MN Gov Walz; not mine Quote

Growing faster than Fargo. Surprised I had never heard that. Bemidji will always remind me of their hockey camp that I attended for 3 summers in a row in the early 70’s. It was the premier camp at the time and cost a whopping 125 bucks a week which included room a board too. They came out with the Lange skate one summer and let everyone try them out. I was not a fan Quote
Cratter Posted June 1, 2024 Author Posted June 1, 2024 Surprised to find out JL Beers in Moorhead had closed. Used to frequent that one often. Quote

As far as the Government is concerned, the Bemidji MSA has 46,718 people in the 2023 census estimate. (Which consists of Beltrami county) Bemidji itself has 15,946 as of the 2022 estimate. That's far from 100,000 people. And a little misleading depending on how they are getting their numbers.

Search for Bemidji on this page to see the official numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropolitan_statistical_area Market areas are not easily defined. In sparse places like northern mn they can be pretty large. You take out your compass draw a circle around Bemidji in a 45 mile radius. You'll likely get 80,000 plus permanent residents. Plus at least another 20,000 summer weekenders. It's "lakes country" so they are spread out. But Bemidji has both a Home Depot and a Menards which is uncommon for such a small town. Shows how far away people come (market area). Don't think anyone thought the city of Bemidji had 100,000 people. But it's growing fast. Faster than Fargo. 1 Quote

nodak651 Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Anyone know how to track construction at the air force base? Are there permits or anything like that listed anywhere? Seems like the air force base and grand sky are legitimately becoming a pretty big deal. Quote
