Something old, from 2006: The New York Times tells us what to do for 36 hours in Grand Forks. Seems about right, but I think they could've cheated a little and included Whitey's, even if it is in EGF.
The author, upon investigation, is a Twin Cities freelancer who also wrote a book about Northern League baseball called "Slouching Toward Fargo." Might be an OK read.
My only quibble is the sentence that says the Red "would have destroyed the city were it not for the legions of hyperorganized volunteer sandbaggers." Having been one of those (terribly unorganized) sandbaggers in 1997, I don't know what the river could have done that it didn't actually do. Those sandbags didn't make much difference when the town was under water.

in 1997 the sandbags didn't do anything...they might have delayed the flood for a few hours...
