lol that all of those signs are randolph signs. of course they didn't want to have to pack up and move their whole town. sorry though 1950 randolph guy. mhk is just a little more important.

Randolph all wanted to move to Manhattan, the signs were just a show so they could get more money from the gov.  Losers.

WillieWatanabe's dad helped tear down old Randolph.

sd grandpa was an attorney for the army corp of engineers on that project. he said the locals were very hayseed'y about it and threatened to shoot them a lot. nobody actually got shot, tho.

I've been to Randolph may times for family reunions...in fact ben ji's grandpa's childhood home was flooded when they built the dam. 

THANKS OBAMA

the army corp might be the most stubborn group of people, like, ever.

interesting tuttle creek factoid #1- you guys know that super long straight bridge that goes across the damn or whatever? well guess what? they built a big bridge really high up off the ground first and then filled the underneath part in with tons of dirt and rock and not vice versa. mind blown, right you guys?

Ben ji's great gpa comes to America as a small child in the early 1900's and all his family wants is a chance to own some land and make America a better place.

Welp, they get their land and they work their hands to the bone building this great country. Then 50 years later the city folk decide they are tired of their flood plain flooding and tell him they are going to flood his land and move his town 5 miles away.

Can't fight city hall is what I always say.

the army corp seems like they might be an OK group, as long as you never have to actually interact with them or do any construction within like 500 miles of something they operate

Lets just say your GPA is lucky he was messing with my Swedish GPA. If he tried that on my German GPA he would of got himself a fight and a backside full of bird shot.

Fortunately for my German GPA there are no rivers to dam in Thomas County...In fact there is no water at all.

man, do you guys think sd gpa and ben ji gpa had any crazy old timey confrontations? 

He was kind of a pushover(Favorite memory of WWII was raising kittens on an air base in England), probably would of just taken the money and not even asked for more.

Would pay to see reenactment.
