GRAND FORKS — A front-yard display outside the home of Hope Church Pastor Paul Knight is a bit unconventional, as well as involuntary.
Someone placed a massive Kmart sign on his front lawn. It's believed to be from the former Kmart building on South Washington Street in Grand Forks, which is being redeveloped.
Pastor Knight noticed it Wednesday mid-morning after he swung by his home. Since then, people have been coming by his south end home to take selfies.
He has no clue who put it up, but says he suspects it was done by someone at church.
"I don't know who to call, cuz I don't know who put it up," Pastor Knight said. "So I am kind of making a general announcement: the people who are responsible for this, you're welcome to remove it anytime. My wife hopes it's gone by June, I think."
