Thanks Wingnut

i knew someone would jog my memory. Great times were had at Bonzers,(home of the schooner), the Blue Moose, and the Edge.

What a great college and bar town

Heck yeah... just about the only place in town to get decent BBQ. At least until the owner moved it down to the south side of town and set the place on fire...

I heard the owner lost the restaurant in a divorce settlement and the wife took it to 32nd ST. If the rumor is true that she set the place on fire for an insurance payout she did everyone a favor by putting the place to rest as the food was horrible.

The food when it was on 42nd street was good- but once the restaurant moved, it sucked...

I do miss evenings at Bonzers and the occasional nice dinner at Sanders.

Anyone ever go for steaks at the Bronze Boot? Very pricey on the college budget but great food. Make up for what you spent there by going to the DownUnder for $1.50 pitchers!

I worked nights as a waiter at the northern location when it first opened up because I could not make ends meet on my miniscule wages as a UND CFI ($12.50/hr If I recall) I transfered to the owners other place..."Players" to bartend before "42nd street" moved south.

Fly/sim/brief all day, then go work 6 more hours till 11 or 12 at night. Get up at 6:00am and do it all again. Living the pilot dream!!!!!

Cr@p! Now I think about it...not much has changed. I'm still working two jobs. Only this time I've got the airline job, but fly in the USAF Reserves to make ends meet. Huh, funny. The more things change the more they stay the same. Living the pilot dream!!!!!!

I too have forgotten a few. I can see them in my mind, but can't remember the names. There was a county bar on the south side of the down town...kind of near The plain Brown Rapper and another country place out of town a ways...My liver hurts thinking about it now!
Blue Moose was a strip club? Was it in the same "lodge style" building?

I can't remember if it was a full time thing or a one day a week thing, or a one time good deal, but I just remember when it first opened up, it was originally intended not to be the family friendly place as it is now. The original Blue Moose concept was very short lived. I remember my friends saying the girls (waitress/dancers) were wearing g-strings and pasties, as bare anything is not alowed in E.G.F. It's a little hazy, but I think the original only lasted a few weeks/months before it was closed/shut down and started up in the form it is today.

Actually, I'll e-mail a few of my friends that were "coneseurs" of the Grand Forks bar scene in the early 90's and see what they can remember. Just to get the record straight.
