Really wish we could’ve had a Lantern in Creston! Even though Max wasn’t officially in Creston, we sorely miss Lotus Brew in the neighborhood.

Yes! I meant formerly , when they reopened they decided to change their name as a tribute for their son who passed away.

The building is for sale and the owners are looking to retire. Go there while you still can!

So sudden, they didn’t announce this ahead of time for staff and anyone who might have wanted to go one last time. They pulled in a lot of foot traffic. I imagine the nearby businesses will be impacted heavily.
They also hosted the CNA pancake breakfast and the indoor artisan market for Lights on Creston. Such a shame for what I had considered a staple in the Creston neighborhood.

I’ll be there bundled up. Less people = more chance of winning 😈😈😈

Really any parent that thinks it’s fun or cute to let their kids terrorize animals as if they’re lesser beings. For some reason some parents think it’s totally ok to let their kids scare / bully birds.

River City currently has no waitlist for adult autism testing. Hopefully you’ve hit your deductible because the cost is expensive

Running a yellow in Michigan is a potential $300 ticket and cops are just itching for the chance to make our roads safer to travel

They’ll get a nice slap on the wrist I’m sure

Can you elaborate on what “righteous dude” means please 😅

Yeah I don’t have mine anymore but Talen said LaGrand is all talk , no action.
To be fair, LaGrand’s accomplishments in the past two years didn’t blow me out of the water, but I understand two years isn’t a lot of time for big change

Apart from some reddit threads and this news article, I don’t really have much to go on for either.
I’ve heard good and bad things about both candidates. What’s your personal opinion on either candidate ?

I’m guessing it’s a plumbing company but it could also apply to a downtown coffee shop of the chocolate variety. It could be any number of businesses.

More people from the city need to visit other places that have transformed streets into pedestrian only vibrant city centers. Anywhere from Denver with its cable car only streets with even more vendors and pedestrian lounge areas since you no longer need the middle lane, to Kensington Market in Toronto, to downtown Northville or heck even Rockford. I’d rather bike up to Rockford on a dedicated bike path and be spit out in the heart of a walkable downtown than bike to downtown Grand Rapids.
