On November 6, 1998, the Blue Moose Restaurant in downtown East Grand Forks was moved from its
old location by the Sorlie Bridge to a new location on Second St. NW. It was moved
because the old location was on the "wet side" of the new floodwall under construction.
The Blue Moose was not seriously damaged by the 1997 flood, and reopened about two months after
the flood. At the new location, the Blue Moose still faces the river, but it is a
block farther back from the river.
