Featured comments:
- "Doing business in the south can be confusing due to the time difference" If a 1-hour time difference is unbearable for you, maybe you should find another job. Ironically, the mayor of Innes says that if it's one time zone, then "adjusting" is no big deal, but clearly can't handle the current 1-hour time difference... Of all the problems these small towns face, I really think changing the time zone should be at the bottom of the "to-do" list. (12)

Original title:Visitor
Post summary:Hi! I recently saw someone post something similar, but also wanted to post my own since it's a bit different. My husband and I are thinking of driving up from northern Minnesota after visiting Lake Superior over the Easter weekend, like 4/11 and 4/12. It'll be a quick trip - honestly, we've already been - and I really don't know what to expect. I've done some Google research and will continue, but curious what you'd recommend for quick, casual, cheap video

- In April, yes, we'll still be melting. Kakabeka Falls is worth a visit (30 min west of town), spring water flow should be good (its nickname is Niagara of the North, it's a decent waterfall). It's a provincial park, so there's a parking fee. I think it might be $5 total? Grab a good coffee at Metropolitan Moose in Kakabeka, I love their mochas. Back in town, make sure you get from various vendors (12)
EN: April, ya we're still going to be in the melt. Worth going to Kakabeka Falls (30min west of city) , should be good flow in spring (its nickname is Niagara of the North, its a pretty good waterfall). Its a provincial park - u/RoomFixer4 has good suggestions. Here are some of mine: - There are some nice parks in the city: Marina, Boulevard Lake, Centennial Park, Cascades Park, Mission Island Marsh. If Mount McKay is still open this season, definitely drive up. If not, go to The Bluffs near Centennial Park in Arundel. Terry Fox Lookout. - St. Paul Roast (5)

EN: If you're doing fast food try mary browns chicken or a&w . - I think you'll like our McDonald's. Every time I try it in the US, the meat numbs my tongue and gums. This is our snowiest winter in years, but I don't think it's much more than northern Minnesota. Worst case, it's knee-deep to waist-deep, but you don't need to wade through it. There are lots of other good suggestions in this thread. I definitely recommend Kakabeka Falls; it'll be roaring with a once-in-a-lifetime fury. I wouldn't recommend Cascades; (3)

10. What is the history of the Syndicate building farm tractors? （ 6 ｜ 2 ｜ 2）
Original title:What is the history of the Farm Tractor building off Syndicate?
Post summary:A long-abandoned factory building on the Kaministiquia River with "Farm Tractors" written on it, I think "Motor". It has a sign, but it's very faded, could be IH or International Harvester. I've always wondered if they made tractors there, including casting and forging, or was it an assembly plant? When did it operate?
