Has anyone here dealt with a negative experience with police related to having had their license plate read/identified by FLOCK? I am a reporter with Michigan Public looking into this. Flock representatives are planning to be at the City of Grand Rapids Public Safety Commission Meeting this upcoming Tuesday -

S/O to the local cheaters, y’all suck! GR is so small. Crazy people can get away with it for so long.

Recently found out my partner(a little over a year “official”) was cheating on me through a random message on Facebook sent to a friend. They claim to “love me” and want to spend the ”rest of their life” with me but cheated for months in the beginning of the dating and into the exclusive phase. Not just cheating, but in a whole a** relationship that was going on three years. It’s been months since the cheating and they broke up, but crazy to just now find out like this. We live together now so it is tough and a complicated situation. I’ve never been so serious with someone. Knew each other in the past but never committed back then due to my circumstances.

Just curious, how did you find out you were being cheated on? How did you get over it? Funny/crazy stories welcome while I try to manage this madness. I could use a laugh. Not sure what to do

Saw one serious accident at Kalamazoo near 60th, another at E. Beltline / Knapp, and saw what looked like the aftermath of a car rear ending another on Burton.

Please stop texting / running lights / cutting people off via right turns. And for fuck's sake use your turning signals!

Any other parents in the district able to get into ParentVue? I've been trying all day and have been unable to get in.

I receive the following:

Error 500

Internal Server Error

A critical exception has occurred. (ID: F7389)

Looking to get a group of 5 to 10 people together for casual street/roller hockey. All skill levels/ co-ed welcome. No hockey experience needed, just rollerblading experience and your own skates.

I often see people rollerblading downtown, but have no one to play street hockey with, so I figured I'd try here.

• Where: Outdoor rink in Walker
• Gear: I have extra sticks if you need one
• Vibe: Just for fun, no pressure

HVAC Job Opportunity
Hello everyone, I’m currently looking for an HVAC position in the West Michigan area. I have hands-on experience working with mobile home HVAC systems, installations, and water heaters.
I’m looking for something in the range of $24–$25/hour, depending on the position and opportunities for growth. I’m motivated to continue developing my skills, gain more experience, and grow within the HVAC industry.
I’m open to opportunities outside of Grand Rapids as well. If anyone knows of a company hiring or has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate the information. Thank you!

My expensive bike was stolen from my garage last year so we had the police come out and filed a report. My bike has popped up on FB Marketplace in Grand Rapids. After six weeks of back-and-forth, GRPD is stalling. First it was a jurisdiction issue, and now they claim they "can't use Facebook", even though they did at first, and want me to message the seller, get their address, and set up a meet. In the beginning they were willing to do that until they saw it was in another jurisdiction and now I’m expected to do that.
The seller is a felon who likely knows where I live if they were the one who took the bike. I have a baby at home and refuse to put myself or my family at risk doing police work. I don’t want to press charges, I just want the bike back.
Has anyone successfully escalated a case like this through GRPD leadership or found a way to get them to step in without putting yourself in danger?
I understand that this is petty theft and not murder so it’s not as fun of a case but seems like this would be pretty open and closed.

Hey guys, I need some recommendations on secluded parks with little to no traffic. Since moving down here my dog has gotten a little reactive towards everything. I’d like to find an area where I can take him on walks and he won’t be as stressed out as he is at my apartment complex or neighborhood.

I live in the Kentwood area, so places around the same area would be ideal.

I’m at my limit, I’ve tried everything I know to do to help him out, I just want my baby to have the space he needs to get rid of all his energy 😭

If you also have any advice on getting him to calm down and not be so reactive, please let me know! Working with him in public is nearly impossible as I deal with a lot of chronic pain and he can easily my drag me away.

Tysm in advance

Having issues with my gaming PC and looking for some recommendations for a repair shop in the GR area.

Anyone else getting sick of Mary Free Bed closing Wealthy Street for construction?

Related, I’d be mad if I paid that much for an arch and then the company that wraps it ruins the perfect curve with a slight bump right at the very top.

Edit: Well, it turns out that the problem is me. Apparently, I am completely unobservant of my surroundings and drive on autopilot, not noticing clearly posted notice that closures were going to begin again. Mea culpa. But, hey, not a complete waste of time, I’ve learned that about myself today. The irony is, of course, that were I more observant, I might have been more aware that I was not observant.

Specifically large ornamental blackwork and black out pieces. 🖤

- Not finding much luck with search engines.

I wanna get out into nature a little bit- like a nice forested area or something like that. Only issue is I don’t have a car.

Does anyone know of any bigger, wooded parks or woodsy areas that are close to the bus route? Any kind of little hiking trail would be even better.
