    Screw the Fairgrounds but please support the local businesses.

    Herd and Horns is a big deal. It's one of the coolest places in town and is a big deal being by campus. Hell I think they even bring recruits there.

    Try to support your favorite local places like Chubs Pub, Sammy's, Bison Turf, Tailgaters, etc

    And consider all these bars and restaurants will see their capacity cut in half when the winter weather hits. (No outdoor seating)

    Feel free to add your favorite area restaurant

    Has Herd and Horns changed a lot? I didn't care for it when I was in town, but I assume I am in the minority there. Turf or bust.

    Great bar for students. Simple menu, and really cheap meal and beer options with a student ID. 2 dollar beers all day every day. 4 dollar grilled cheese. 7 dollar burger.

    If you are asking has Herds and Horns changed a lot from its original menu? Yes. Much better menu then the original. Ownership has spent a lot of time and dollars to figure out what works next to a college. Behind the concept of cheap beer and burgers. The facility caters to a larger audience then the poor college students. You go in over lunch. College admin, professors and local business meetings are being held.

    If you haven't been there in awhile, its a good place to try and worth the trip north to see what is going on the campus.

    With that is mind. What is being built Northwest of the Union. Tore down the old Chem Lab building and something new is going.

    To me this is like small town shopping.

    If you want these guys to be around in the long-run you need to be their customer today.

    Still just in awe with all we know about how and where covid gets transmitted (poorly ventilated and crowded places) that packing the fargodome concourses is fine but tailgating is just too risky. Please help me take this seriously.

    Every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.

    I try to live by that.

    Dunbar Hall replacement. The old one was seriously out of date and couldn't be feasibly upgraded to modern safety standards.* Our lobby finally got it pushed through the legislature after several years of trying. All the low level chem labs are now in the new STEM building, and the new building will just have grad labs and pure research space. When finished, the old Dunbar will be torn down and parking will go in its place. Hopefully Ladd will get the same treatment down the road.


    *The ceilings were too low to easily run fire suppression and isolation ventilation systems, and the whole place was made of cast concrete and masonry so it would be near impossible to cut holes for everything. With all the other deficiencies of a 50 year old building being asked to do something it wasn't designed for(high level research in a building designed for undergrad chem labs), it was better to build new.

    I ask you this... what's the last time you've been to the Turf? If it's been a while go drop a few bucks. They looked slow this summer and they put a lot of money into that place since the fire. It's kind of non replaceable

    Next time you want a pizza, try Sammys, Spicy Pie, Duanes, or Rhombus Guys

    Next time you go to the liquor store, grab a 6 pack of Fargo Brewing or a 4 pack of Drekker. They have it at most area liquor stores

    Next time you want to eat out, try something different than the Olive Garden or Applebees. How about Mezzaluna or Toscana. How about Wurst Bier Hall or The Boiler Room? So many awesome places and most are probably struggling

    The Ho Do shut down for a few weeks. They reopened the Hotel but the restaurant and bar is remaining closed. Not sure when it will reopen
