Hey y’all, I live in Wayland/GR area and I’m looking for more card shops to explore. I pretty much only play magic so that would be my focus for these stores.

I’ve been to the staples like
Galactic toys (alpine and kentwood)
Legends
Wulf gaming
Gamers wharf
Gaming warehouse
Goldmine comics
Disc traders

Edit: I go to these shops for purchasing cards mostly. Digging through bulk/buying singles. I don’t/haven’t played at these stores nor plan to in the near future

Bonus points if these stores are around Wayland but not required as I love bopping around to these shops

Thank you for the help!

There's a large crowd at Rapid River (on Stocking and Bridge) for some sort of event, and now there are about 7 or 8 police cars out front. I'm nosy, anyone got the scoop?

I’ll be wrapping up my LPN here soon. I’m looking around at nursing homes/ALFs in the area or other places that generally hire LPNs. Are there any that aren’t like the horror stories (rude/unhelpful staff, unsafe ratios, dirty building, unrealistic expectations for care with said unsafe ratios, etc)..I work for Corewell as a NT right now and I’m already really not excited to leave the hospital for long term care.

Looking for an independently-owned, full service car Mechanic in the Jenison/Hudsonville-ish area. Someone reliable I can bring my family vehicles to for the next 20 plus years. Just want someone who will do good work and is trustworthy.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am a single mom looking for some ways to make extra money beyond my job.
Has anyone had success with Rover around Grand Rapids? Is it worth paying the $49 fee?
I have experience with dogs of all kinds and own two German shepherds so I’m pretty comfortable with all types of dogs.

The Goodwill near 28th and Clyde Park had a large amount of wedding gowns and formal gowns at the front of store today starting at $19.99 if there are any budget minded future brides on the hunt. I was there about an hour ago I would say they had over 100 gowns there. Lots of ladies looking at them. Just FYI .

Midtown Neighborhood Association is sponsoring a presentation about haunted sites all around Grand Rapids. Tickets are $25 and include a free drink at Two James Spirits.

Here is some additional info about the presentation by Caroline at Grand Rapids Running Tours

Do you believe in ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, apparitions, phantoms, spooks, psychic phenomena or things that go “bump” in the night? If one person sees a ghost, even if several times, you may blame it on an active imagination; but if two or more people see the same spirit in the same place several years apart, you may just reconsider. This virtual tour takes you by iconic locations where there have been waaaaay MORE than just two sightings or unusual activity. There are two questions that we attempt to answer on this spooky journey…Who suffered a tragic death here and is still hanging around? And is this LEGEND or REAL?

I realize not the ideal time of the year, but are there still any weekly recurring flea markets anywhere in the surrounding areas?

My 10 year old is really athletic and loves sports. He plays AYSO soccer and little league. Travel sports is not an option because we have a large family of various ages. He would love to play basketball in the winter but I can not find a rec style league for kids basketball. Does anyone have ideas? Thanks!

My boyfriend is paraplegic and was just diagnosed with cancer. I am badly injured with a 6-8 week recovery minimum. With everything going on medically and otherwise we just can’t keep up with basic house and life stuff. A family member was supposed to be helping us weekly but is unreliable and rarely shows.

We really need to hire a dependable, nonjudgemental housekeeper that would be willing to come at least once a week, help us get our house up to a more manageable level and then maintain it. We also may occasionally need help lifting or moving things that are too heavy for us (not anything crazy heavy, we just struggle once the weight is over 10-15lbs).

Does anyone have any services or people they use and trust that would be willing to take on our situation?

Hey yall :) my friends and I are registered to attend the suicide prevention walk at Millennium Park October 11th. We have never been before and are not sure what to expect. For those who have been, how early should we get there? I noticed there are over 700 people registered. Thank you!!😌
