My background also includes more than seven professional years in the news industry, as well as additional experience in marketing, management, and real estate.<\/p>\n My passion for Bismarck – especially its rich history – stems from my family residing here since 1893… when Bismarck was barely twenty years old. My Great-Great Grandfather, Nils H. Lovin<\/a>, owned\u00a0a successful contracting business that was responsible for constructing many of the buildings – commercial and residential alike – between the 1890s and 1940s.\u00a0Nils also served terms in the City Commission and in the Planning Commission.<\/p>\n Some of Lovin’s most notable projects included\u00a0Saint Mary’s Church, the Wards Building, most regional Standard Oil stations, and many buildings at Fort Lincoln (now UTTC).<\/p>\n It is these strong historical roots that serve the underpinning of my passion.<\/p>\n Contact BisManCafe<\/a> |\u00a0Advertising Information<\/a> |\u00a0Help Guide<\/a>\u00a0| Privacy & Legal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BisManCafe.com was launched (as BismarckPride.com) in 2007 by Randy Hoffman to be the region’s premiere online destination with a heavy focus on local history.
