New Strip Mall of America Stretches Over 1/6th of North Dakota

According to this fine article, "[t]he Department of Commerce estimates the mall will provide approximately 30,000 jobs in the coming year." Plus, it might give me a reason to stop in Alice once in a while to buy some of those fine Pottery Barn products!

I do wonder, however, how this compares to the previous Onion article North Dakota Found To Be Harboring Nuclear Missiles. It must not be significant enough, or there's advantage in protecting our Ben Franklins and Blockbuster Videos.
