As we were wandering around Grand Forks the other weekend, we went down to take a few pictures of The Metropolitan Opera House. I just love the architecture of the building, it's by far my favorite in Grand Forks. The facade has been redone, and it is in the process of renovation internally. It will be converted into a restaurant and commercial storefronts and residential upstairs. I just love the look of the living areas, take a peak under amenties on their site.
