Step through the doors and you find yourself surrounded by a bustle of activity all around old bikes and parts, like stumbling on a bicycle graveyard. Bike frames hang close to the ceiling longing to be reunited with their parts and riders, and this is just what the volunteers at FMCBW would like to see.

Outdoor Festival Guide 2008
By Janie Franz
Staff Writer
Here is a listing of many of the outdoor music festivals in the region. There are blockbuster festivals and smaller ones, covering ND, SD, MN, WI, WY, and MT. Iowa has a lot of festivals, but I didn’t include them this year because it is uncertain how these festivals will fare after the major flooding all over the state.

Incredible Hulk: The Video Game
By Zach Hannestad
Staff Writer
The Incredible Hulk is another attempt to milk a movie license for all it’s worth. This game has already been done. The original was called The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction on PS2 and the original Xbox. In many ways, Ultimate Destruction was a better game. I suggest you play that instead.
