Sioux-cia Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Family of Four can eat at my Place for That...? The owner of Capones unfortunately has had at least one other enterprise fail. Sounds like a fun place but the prices even for someone who may make a bit of money don't sound reasonable. We mid-westerners are a frugal bunch.

Cratter Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 i would like to see grand forks embrace the new medical plaza that is being built on the south end of washington. Another Hospital is and increasing need, many go to fargo because they are unhappy with the monopoly of Altru. Stadter Center grows Tredwell dismissed rumors that the Stadter Center was building a new hospital or a cancer center to compete with Altru Hospital in a vacant lot next to the existing hospital though a detailed development plan of the expansion project shows the center plans to continue expanding. A construction project, labeled "future expansion" also includes a 35-space addition to the existing parking lot. Tredwell refused to comment on it. "That's nothing that we're talking about now," she said. "All we're talking about now are the (three) big construction projects ongoing." When asked if the company is planning to open another hospital in town, Tredwell said, "We've heard a lot of rumors, all of them are interesting, but not necessarily true."

dakotadan Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 This article is from the wednesday Herald. It talks about a possible new housing complex downtown. I like the idea but am not too fond of the location. Another Housing Complex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Planners report that a Golden Corral representative has made serious inquiries about city procedures for putting in a new building off of 32nd Avenue South, west of Burger King. That site is close to where the new Kohl's department store is being built.The nearest one is in Rochester, Minn.

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Only one mention of Chipotle?? GF definately needs a Chipotle or two! How about a bar/resturant with live music on a regular basis? Or is there one that I don't know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 At risk of repeating myself, I'd like to see the city transition away from a primarily service based economy to a more intellectual property and manufacturing based economy. Do that and all of the other things mentioned will come because of the money in the local economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 At risk of repeating myself, Do that and all of the other things mentioned will come because of the money in the local economy. At the risk of not repeating myself , The country is moving away from a manufacturing economy. In 1960 Anglo America, 28% of the labor forced engaged in manufacturing generating nearly one-third of the region's wealth. By 2001, manufacturing employment had dropped to about 16% of a much larger labor force and manufacturing contributed less than a fifth of the GDP. Manufacturing employment is falling (you can ask Ford about it). Those service based economies (like in GF) are here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Manufacturing employment is falling (you can ask Ford about it). Those service based economies (like in GF) are here to stay. I'll grant you that unskilled manufacturing is moving to cheap countries, but an intellectual property based economy with associate higher-skill and technology manufacturing (e.g. bio-tech) is still possible here.

Shawn-O Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 GF definately needs a Chipotle or two! I thought I saw a Chipotle going in by University Station when I was up there for the regionals. Was that a mirage? The Chipotle website doesn't reference a GF location, so was I seeing things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 so was I seeing things? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Not sure about the rumors, but the VD was indeed selling Red Pepper food. Maybe as a test market? I know that the Pepper is going to open in that location previously stated because that's what the permit in the windows says. It's open now, AND it has a drive-up window..... Exciting!!

Hale4David Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Haven't seen this posted yet so here it goes. I would like to see Red River Deli open back up!!! I'm just posting in hopes that the owners are ss.com regulars and feel my pain...man I miss you!!! If nothing else take down your sign because everytime I drive down Demers and see it I get a horrible craving. Also a new movie theatre is greatly needed, mainly something with stadium seating.
