Grand Forks and East Grand Forks
The sun of winter.





dear god why would anyone go here

There’s a reason I consider Minneapolis to be the last bastion of civilization between Chicago and Vegas, and the fact that places like Grand Forks exist is one of those reasons why. I tried to make this data sheet based off more than my own experiences and memory and looked at some travel websites online. K-Mart and Super Target were mentioned in the list of places to check out on each goddamn site I visited. That should tell you what you’re about to encounter.
Honorable Mention: The #2 worst college town for strip clubs.

Like everywhere else in the land of “Winter is Coming”, it snows here anytime from October to May. Put a sleeping bag and a shovel in your car if you’re driving out this way during those months. Seriously. The lowest temperature ever recorded was −43 °F (−42 °C), most recently on January 30, 2004. Expect a couple of feet per snow each year. If you’re lucky you can get caught in a blizzard out in the middle of nowhere!

What to do in Grand Forks?
Visit one of the last remaining K-Mart’s, or get the usual at Red Lobster. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I was in a K-Mart, so that might be worth stopping inside. East Grand Forks has a Art and Wine Walk in the summer that might be interesting, I dunno… once? Even New Year's is lame here. Alcohol free NYE!? Shoot me already, please.

Seriously, I texted the bros and asked on Facebook in case I forgot of something/something new was built/I missed something every time I’ve gone through. The answers friends gave me ranged from “Drive out of Grand Forks” to “Look for grand spoons”. Supposedly the fishing and hunting is pretty good out that way, but I imagine every other guy will be thinking the same thing.

I guess there’s always ice fishing if you’ve never done that before. Personally I think it’s the most boring, cold, miserable, experience you can have after winter camping in the Boundary Waters.


I guess if NCAA D1 hockey is your thing, you can get your fill of it.

Widman’s Candy Shop. Get your fill of chocolate covered olives, peppers, etc…

Food and Drink:
Rhombus Guys - One of the few non-chain restaurants in town. Pizza’s pretty good. I always wanted to try the smore pizza, not sure if it’s still offered.

Shotgun Sally’s - Of the dismal places to drink and try to forget you’re in Grand Forks, you could find yourself in worse places than Shotgun Sally’s.

I honestly don’t know what people who live here do for fun, I can barely stand the small scene in the Twin Cities. I’m pretty sure in Grand Forks they sit around all day banging rocks together for fun. Honestly, if I lived here I’d drink and whore myself to an early (well, earlier) grave.

I hate Dave Ryan but this video pretty much sums up what most dudes are like out here. I'm almost positive I've heard every single one of these said to me at some point or another.




Game: I suppose you could wander the University of North Dakota Grand Forks for a bit.


Notice the one black cheerleader they stuck in the middle. My impression of the women from Shithole, ND/SD/MN who run away to the “big city” of East/Grand Forks are cornfed huskies. It’s 90% white, with Native Americans being the second largest population weighing in at 3%. So if you like Norwegian honeys but are too cheap to travel, here's what you got.

I don’t recall ever seeing a suit being worn here. Ever. I imagine suit game would probably do you more harm than good on account of no one here ever seeing one before.

Black dudes and latinos might have the benefit of being exotic, but then again, you might run into chicks who, well, I won't call them racist, but they certainly discriminate against people of color because all they know is tv, facebook, and whatever crazy ol' Uncle Dave tells them at Christmas about Obamacare and the Texas border. I've met a fair share of both up here.

This city is on the way to Winnipeg from Minneapolis (after Fargo). I hope I get the chance to do that road trip and see a game at North Dakota one day (lots of history there). The girls would be a bonus for me if they're anything like in that picture.

Hilarious data sheet !!!

Your data is completely opposite of what all the other data sheets say about MN.
Your experiences and descriptions seem a lot more realistic.

• Since there is nothing to do up there how easy would it be to have a steady stream of hookups ? I mean, 1 - 2 different girls every day of the week ??
• I never imagined that part of the country would have racists, especially being close to Winnipeg.
• I'm going to assume the exotic factor does not work in a minorities favor.
• When you say cornfed huskies...do you mean sloppy chubby girls ?
• How hard would it be to infiltrate the talent at UND ?

Is the dirty ol' Peg some kind of beacon of progressivism or something? Some of the nastiest, racist shit I've ever heard came from the mouths of Manitobans.

Grand Forks is a lot different than the Twin Cities. The Twin Cities are, well, pleasant. Grand Forks is a small town on the edge of nowhere that treats itself like a small town on the edge of nowhere. It's the hub of a massive farming community that extends from one state to another.

I honestly don't know what else you'd do out there besides spit game at everything you see, hunt, fish, or lock yourself inside and either read or play video games. Activity-wise there's not a whole lot going on.

I think someone referred to the women in these parts as "snow cows", and that's probably a good description.

I don't know much about UND besides them having a good flight programs. Beyond that, I have no idea.

I stayed in Minnesota for a night because of a delayed flight. When I was at the hotel the lady next to us told her daughter "Don't go near them, they're puertoricans".

Once in Williston I was at DK's having a few drinks with friends and an old guy asked me if I was an arab, because he enjoyed killing arabs.

I visited Grand Forks many years ago and there was a food joint where university students hung out and you could get burritos wrapped in lefse (Norwegian flat bread). There were actually some hot women at the University of North Dakota, a mixture of German, Norwegian, and Swedish. Winnipeg isn't too far away and has a French speaking community. Fargo is a bigger city to the south. The game is to get invited to a beer keg party which is held in private houses.

I was going by the posts in this thread:
North Dakota - Fargo - Minnesota

Quotes from some of the posters:

"Women here are bored out of their minds. Very bored. Anyone from a different city/country with an interesting life will be of high value and interesting to them."

"This area from Winnipeg to ND to Minny up to Thunder Bay is full of major sluts. Another good spot that I just remembered is Bemidji, MN"

"I was even green with envy of this white girl a fat, beer-belly and love handles broda was all over! He'd never have that in Miami even if he was rich!! I want to be lazy and fat and get laid by Hayden Panettiere looking women too!! I'm still angry!

Him being black was all he needed to get delicious, blue-eyed blonde girls. "

"My understanding about Grand Forks is that it is about 1hr (drive) North of Fargo, but that 1hr North makes a WORLD of difference as far as easy lays from women, and their casual attitude towards sex."

"Very few people can understand how 'in demand' non-white dudes are in this region, especially if you are also a real stud. Mixx, I told you once that I have wild stories of this region. None of what your reporting is a surprise to me. If you go to smaller towns, things can get really crazy."

"Winnipeg is where it's at. It's surprisingly diverse and it's easy for a Latin or a brutha to hook up."

"Anyone would do fine in these parts, especially if you are tan/brown and/or from a big city. And if you can't get it done in these parts...god help you, brotha....cuz it doesn't get easier than this"

I'm thinking there was a lot of over-hype and possibly some trolling.

Fargo is made out to be a goldmine for getting girls. Grand Forks is made out to be "even easier" than Fargo.

This is why I'm glad posters who actually live in these areas are contributing. A very different picture is being painted from you guys.

My experience being black in MN has been this - either women will only want dudes of color, want nothing to do with them whatsoever, or are unconcerned because they want dick regardless of the color.

That being said, every white girl I've ever been with has made some comment during sex about being with a black dude, which is usually super hot - except for the time I had a girl tell me to give her "some nigger cock". That was almost a deal breaker.... Almost.
