Things I didn't know about Grand Forks #8

Grand Forks is:

• 1, 587 miles from my house, which is 25 hours by car (19 days, 21 hours by foot, which is important to know if there is a zombiepocalypse and I have to skeedaddle).
• 1,871 miles from Disneyland, which is 30 hours by car
• 326 miles from the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN (5 hours, 17 minutes by car), which is the closest adequate shopping center
• 241 kilometers (so fancy!) from Winnepeg, Manitoba (3 hours by car), which is the closest big city (if you don't count Fargo-- 105,549 people and growing!) and closest Costco (ND apparently hates good deals)
• 448 miles from where I was born (in Wisconsin!), which is 8 hours and 14 minutes by car
• 724 miles from Chicago (12 hours, 17 minutes by car) just in case I get a craving for deep dish pizza and/or a Chicago dog.
• 4,970 km from Cancun (2 days, 6 hours by car), just in case I decide to throw it all away and live on a beach.

In other words, it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
