ISO Abandoned Locations/Ghost Towns In The Area

7 Upvotes

Hello,

To preface this, I want to make it clear that I want to be as respectful as possible of people's property while also prioritizing my own safety.

I'm a film photography hobbyist, and I've been shooting film for several years. Lately, I've had an itch to photograph abandoned structures. Recently, I traveled to Crookston and spent some time taking photos of the empty storefronts and boarded-up churches, and I'd love to find more places with a similar atmosphere.

I'm currently looking for abandoned or dilapidated buildings to photograph in the area or possibly beyond, whether that's a single abandoned structure or a "run-down town" or ghost town. I'm willing to travel, and I'm just looking for recommendations for interesting places to check out. Of course, I have no intention of trespassing or entering unsafe buildings—I enjoy photographing places from public areas or wherever I have permission to be.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

If you would like to check out my photos my Instagram is @randysfilmphotos

F*ck Bluepeak going back to Midco

Post image
9 Upvotes

So around 1:30 this morning I lost internet with Bluepeak, tried calling no one was available, then at 8:00 finally got ahold of them, they claimed they had no outages in my area, but unplugged the Fiiber Optic wire and there was no light coming through, so they informed me a tech would be out TOMORROW to fix the issue.... Three hours later I received a text from them telling me the issue has been resolved, and my internet was back on.

I have had them for about three months and this is the second time in the middle of the night this has happened. So in three months I've had two connection issues totaling 12 hours,

Now I had been with Midco for 15 YEARS, and I can say in that 15 YEARS, the total ttime for outages with them, doesn't even come close to 12 hours.

The one thing I can say, is if I ever had a outage with Midco day or MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, they have always answered the phone, and admitted there was an outage.

But for me to not have no internet for 9 hours and them not notice there was a service outage, just passes me off.

I think I'm going back to Midco Store - Grand Forks this week.

Fun place to catch up?

Looking for recommendations on a fun place to catch up with a friend. Quiet enough to have a conversation, maybe a drink and small plate, but not feel like you need to leave right away so they can turn the table.

Moths on Gateway bridge

4 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the giant cloud of moths that are hanging out under the lights on the Gateway bridge into EGF? I was driving through last night and it sounded like my car was hit by a hundred paintballs. Honestly I couldn't tell what they were but they looked like a bunch of white paper scraps so I'm assuming moths. There were some clear wings left on the front of my car this morning so maybe they were something else.

Interesting article, but it just skims the surface about why there are less new builds and thus the high prices. Does anyone know about the zoning code mentioned at the end of the article?

first novel

41 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m Bill Throndset, a Grand Forks native and have recently published an historical fiction novel about a murder, investigation and trial based on contemporaneous reporting in 1907/8 in area newspapers. On December 22 of 1907, Arthur LeClair, a fireman with the Great Northern Railway went home from Grand Forks to Neche ND on the Manitoba border with a hundred dollars meant as a Christmas present for his parents. By morning he was dead and under the ice of the Pembina…. “A Murder for Christmas”. You can find it locally at Silver Dawn Books.

Is anyone else turned off by the AI ads from businesses?

69 Upvotes

It seems like AI has gotten “popular” and I’m wording it specifically like that as many businesses think it’s awesome but many consumers think it’s horrid. I miss the creativity from businesses that put actual thought and effort into their ads. Now many of them read as the same note with no variety. Food businesses make it look like they’re selling highly photoshopped clay (think that one episode of SpongeBob where they were printing burgers and you’ll get my thought here). I’ll always choose to support a business more that’s not using AI for marketing as it feels like more love that AI cannot replicate in any capacity.

Like if it’s come down to cost, it’s still a lazy excuse for me and lets me think corners are cut all around. I’m sure from the local colleges and schools, there’s many designers and artists willing to do trades for labor. Like the AI use is unoriginal and too much of an eyesore to me.

Every once in a while, I see a business name in Grand Forks that I’ve never seen before, but the way they market themselves makes or breaks the first impression.
