About Grand Forks, North Dakota ND.
Grand Forks is the third-largest city in the state of North Dakota after Fargo
and Bismarck and is the county seat of Grand Forks County. Grand Forks, along
with its twin city of East Grand Forks, Minnesota, forms the center of the Grand
Forks, ND-MN Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is often called Greater Grand
Forks or the Grand Cities. Located on the western banks of the north-flowing Red
River of the North, in a flat region known as the Red River Valley, the city is
prone to flooding. The Red River Flood of 1997 devastated the city. Historically
dependent on local agriculture, the city's economy now encompasses higher
education, defense, health care, manufacturing, food processing, and scientific
research. Grand Forks is served by Grand Forks International Airport and Grand
Forks Air Force Base. The city's University of North Dakota is the oldest
institution of higher education in the state. The Alerus Center and Ralph
Engelstad Arena host athletic and other events, while the North Dakota Museum of
Art and Chester Fritz Auditorium are the city's largest cultural venues. The

of the city, is the largest employer in the metropolitan area. Grand Forks Air

centers in Grand Forks. Other large private employers in the city include the
locally owned Alerus Financial branch of banks, Home of Economy, and the locally
owned Hugo's chain of supermarkets. The retail and service sector is also an
important part of the economy. The historic center of shopping in Grand Forks
was the downtown area. Today, downtown is home to small shops and restaurants
and south Grand Forks has become the major retail district in the city. Grand
Forks has three large shopping centers. The oldest, Grand Cities Mall, is on
South Washington Street and contains mainly small, locally owned stores as well
as a Kmart. With about 80 stores, the area's largest indoor mall is Columbia
Mall which is anchored by Scheels, Sears, J.C. Penney, and a small food court.

power center mall which features SuperTarget, Best Buy, Lowe's, Gordmans, and
several smaller stores. Depending on the relative strength of the Canadian

75 so on and so forth.

Do your
birthday wishes come true?

the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we

common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and

"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
