Quickies: Riverside revived, downtown housing
* A decision on whether to open Grand Forks' Riverside Pool or not could be made in three to four months. At the urging of City Council member Eliot Glassheim the city will be hiring consultants to figure out what's needed to make the pool more resistant to flooding. Glassheim said how the council will vote may hinge on the cost of cleaning the pool up after floods. The pool is protected only by a 45-foot dike and not the main dike system. In the last 10 years, its been flooded four times. For the full story, go to the Herald Web site.
* Council members got an update on some downtown residential developments Wednesday. Schoen Associates hasn't decided yet when to start Phase 2 of its Elite Brownstones to be built in the area behind Kelly's Bar downtown. The city's still waiting to hear from Dakota Commercial and Development and Crary Homes whether they're still interested in the University Flats condo complex across the street from Augustana Lutheran Church.
I was going to hang on to this for another day but that rascal GrandForksGuy posted it so I'm sure the rascals at WDAZ will know all about it. So screw you all: There's no news. Hahahahahaha!
* Noticed WDAZ has been following that landfill story pretty closely. The city is setting up a meeting with landfill customers at 2 p.m., June 28, at the Alerus Center. Public works director Todd Feland told me he wants to know what those customers plan to do when the landfill closes. One of them, Pennington County, is bolting to the Marshall-Kittson landfill.
* Update on the City Council candidate survey: I've got only 13 votes so far. I'm blaming it on the wrong Web address I've been putting under my stories.
Anyway, in Ward 2, Tom Kenville's ahead, followed by Mike McNamara, with Jon Dorner and Peder Rice tied for third, followed by Cameron Stewart.
In Ward 6, Art Bakken is far ahead of Tom Potter.
Survey is still open here.

Haha Tu-Uyen. Gave me a little chuckle on your "no more news!" part.
Ain't I a little stinker! :)
Refresh my memory, what was the voter turn-out of the last city council election? I want to say less than 20%, in the area of 15.
Do you know Tu-Uyen?
I couldn't tell you the percentage, but I do know that only about 550 people voted in Ward 2 last time around.
Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
