Another Famous Bar Shutters Its Doors in the Northern Valley
no i love that place best burger in town this makes me sad
Oh bummer
time to move back to GF side!
Never went there while it was Sickies but I spent A LOT of time there in the mid 80's when it was Whitey's. I bounced from Whitey's to The Antique and another across the street…for the life of me I can't remember the name of that one.
I hate seeing businesses fail, and I hate seeing empty businesses. Before coronavirus the place was always busy. Went there once when things were starting to calm down and it was pretty dead in there. And sadly the food wasn't what it used to be. Hopefully we get something really good in there next.
Ok. It's closed. Wondering why it's so special for you to share this. As Biden has said, "cone on man".
Neil you must have a boner for this place, it’s not iconic, it’s a chain, and it wasn’t that good. Let me know when a local bar closes.
Heard bigger and better things things are to come!
A new Sickies is opening in Fargo and they close the one down in EGF. That shows just how much better the economy is in Fargo compared to GF/EGF. Fargo is literally sucking the life blood out of every other community within a 100 miles.
Iconic??… Give me a break…only lasted couple of years. Wow how he lets them waste his money!
