  1. Dave, Do you have anything on Northwest Sporting Goods? I once heard that Ookie Hammond was one of the owners before he got the position of Minot Recreation Commission Director.

  2. I was just visiting relatives in Minot over the past 2 weeks. We went by the old Sunshine Grocery location. I had read in the past it was converted back to home some years ago, but now the building no longer exists. I understand the land was purchased by Little Flower Church and it now used for additional parking.
