    Cytown Update

    Maybe a sports bar and a beer-only brewery? Maybe not enough traffic to support both. I personally like breweries that don't serve food and allow either food trucks or you to bring your own food, but I realize that's not for everyone.

    Cytown Update

    Nice to know things haven't changed in the 20+ years since I've lived there. I'm sure they'd love to give up all the shops/restaurants/entertainment/sporting events/churches/public transit/etc. that wouldn't be there without students and alumni.

    Cytown Update

    Thanks, I hadn't seen the actual announcement. I've seen a lot of other articles saying that people aren't drinking as much, especially younger people, so I can see the hesitation to expand.

    I saw Toppling Goliath pulled out of a project near Drake. Wondering if that means they will come to CyTown?

    DSM area fence companies

    I've got neighbors with 4 foot chain link on both sides but would like to go with privacy. Do I need to take theirs out (thus requiring me to talk to them which is something I'd like to avoid) or can I just put the privacy fence up next to theirs?

    Golf Fight

    I'm not a golfer but could understand how frustrating it must be to play behind those idiots. At the same time, is it worth it to beat the crap out of a guy that much smaller than you who has no clue what's going on? Haven't seen any follow up but if there is some sort of charges, or if he loses...

    Youth Sports Costs

    Exactly. Some act like their team did something great to get into the tournament.

    Youth Sports Costs

    Maybe it was just some people I know saying it, who knows. Agree on the second point. I think a lot of it where I live is also a dumb status symbol. It's not enough that you drive an SUV the size of a boat, you must also have your kid in the Elite All-Star Platinum League and post every...

    Youth Sports Costs

    Some interesting thoughts in this thread so I’ll add mine. My son is 13. Played rec soccer and at 7 years old I think was asked to play on a travel team by one of the league directors. He didn’t like soccer that much and said no and switched to football, where he played YMCA before switching to...

    Tyrese Haliburton setting Pacers, Cyclones, and NBA records

    My 13 year old keeps saying that and this whole time I thought is was a Tyrese reference. I’m old.

    North Shore - Duluth and Lake Superior

    Lots of good breweries in Duluth and the parks/hikes others have mentioned. Ursa Minor and Bent Paddle were very good when I went (two years ago). Probably a little too cold that time if year to swim but at least you can stick your feet in the lake!

    Rocky Mountain National Park Vacation - Question

    We usually go for a hike in the morning and another in the evening. Bear lake is a good evening hike as most people are gone by that time and parking is available.

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    I was a little sad when my kids stopped playing baseball but seeing this makes me (and my wallet) less sad!

    If you have Facebook you could check marketplace too for comparable bikes. If you have the time aim high and you can always lower it.
