Hi!
Going to my first show in a couple of days and curious about the food options? Severely overpriced or on par with other stadiums etc.? Are there lots of options? Was at frederick meijer recently and not a ton of options but would consider price on par with other places similar to it for reference as I realize this may be subjective. Just trying to make sure we are fed!
Thanks!!

My mother-in-law is visiting this weekend and requested we go out for Chinese food. There’s a very poor selection where she’s from. 😂

What are your favorites? I was thinking Fu Garden or Beijing Kitchen downtown maybe?

Hi there,

I’ve been in GR for the last few weeks helping my parents clean out my aunt’s house after she passed. The house is mostly outdated and needs quite a bit of work. They’ve gotten a few offers from places like Gabe Buys Homes and similar quick cash buyers, and are considering using them to avoid realtor fees, repairs, etc. and just be done with it. They are aware that these companies are usually just quick flippers, which really doesn’t sit well.

Has anyone used these types of businesses and didn’t get totally lowballed? Or know of reputable realtors? Or have any other advice? I live out of state and am just looking for some local advice to support my parents with their decision. Thanks!

There was a lady escorted out that turned to a full arrest. I witnessed it, but didn't get a chance to pull my phone out and record it last night, July 5th.

I have two tickets I'm unable to use. Front row of the upper mezzanine at 20 Monroe

I'd like to get something for them but really just want to see them used. DM if you're interested and we can work something out. I'm in kzoo so we'll have to transfer digitally.

Apologies if there's a buy/sell/trade sticky that I'm missing.

somewhere where they teach knitting. I used to know how but forgot and would like to take it up again. I'd have to start from the very beginning and get the materials. thank you

We are strongly considering selling our home just outside of GR, located in a rural neighborhood. We need to meet with a good realtor and pick someone with the experience, honesty, and integrity we need.

Who knows a quality realtor, experienced in the sale of rural homes and good land? PM me if it works better!

Hello! I've been wondering if there were any places in GR or nearby areas that offered language classes, specifically German. So far, I have only been able to find a school for k-12, and a tuition course through GRCC. Open to all and any recommendations, thanks. :-)

How expensive is this going to be to fix? It’s not an emergency, but it is something that needs to be repaired sometime.

UPDATE: due to the location of the drip, it’s my responsibility to fix. Onward with a plumber! Thank you, everyone!

On the day after the annual get together of emergency medicine, orthopedic trauma, hand surgery, and plastic surgery, curious how many of y'all still have your fingers, toes, and other appendages intact.

Hope y'all were safe out there!

The show was interesting to say the least. The last 10 minutes and grand finale were great. But the start was a cluster; mostly low level fireworks, with repeated strange gaps that seemed to increase in length each time, and created so much smoke that the mid level ones following were covered up. Then there was literally a 5 minute gap of no fireworks. People were booing. After that they got their shit together, but it was a short show especially considering the gaps, probably because half of them didn’t go off. Ironic considering how much they hyped it up. No reports on it from any local media, but anyone at the show would say the same.

How long to plan on being there?
