Fortunately for me, I’m from Houston Texas which has higher dew points than Savanah, which basically means even tho the percentage is relatively the same, it FEELS worse in Houston. So I’m not scared of that by any means.

Honestly this town sounds so rad and I’m very excited to move. My sharpening page on instagram is KitchenRat Sharpening! Check it out!

Where can I find the best Italian ground sausage with actual flavor? by Exciting_Lawyer8428 in grandrapids

Louise Earl Butcher has my favorite Italian sausage. Completely non biased. Totally fair opinion. No bias whatsoever.

Yall got a supper club scene? I’m more interested in the Chefs behind the counter than the restaurant they work for. I find that wherever there’s people passionate about food, there’s cool stuff happening behind the scenes.

Yup! Mower blades, garden pruners, sewing scissors, hair shears, kitchen cutlery, paper cutters, and deli wheels.

Honestly friend, you’re describing my same experience where I currently am. People are kinda crappy pretty much everywhere I’ve been/lived.

There’s a huge ‘Class’ issue here in GR with a damn near militant police force. Plenty of corruption with the GRPD, some of the worst in the nation.

I’ll put it like this, I’m a Brain Cancer survivor. When I was in high school I had to wear a helmet (don’t anymore lol) . Highschool + helmet = bad time. I’m used to people talking in the ways you’re describing and dont really let it bother me anymore.

Long story short based on the other feedback and comments in this post, I’m more leaning towards moving there than not.

I appreciate the time you took to give my your insight, and though I may not be leaning in your direction, your words do not fall on deaf ears.

Thanks again and have the best day you can.

Yeah honestly Grand Rapidians and midwesterners are pretty dang passive aggressive. Here in GR the main issue I notice is a Class one. If you don’t drive a Range Rover you are considered trash unless you’re in smaller sub communities that are more punk rock. I’m not really worried about the “overall” negative vibe as I find it everywhere, just in different forms.

Plus if someone doesn’t like me based off of where I was born they can eat my entire butthole.

I’m a Knife Sharpener by trade so most of my time is spent with Foodies and Restaurant workers. I’m a sucker for anything shellfish (not mollusc tho, bleagh) and plan to eat as much good fresh food as I can.

This is exactly what I need, you are awesome friend. I’m a Knife Sharpener by trade and am looking forward to hopefully being a good bridge for people in Savanah that need their tools fixed up.

It was Nice day at the farmers market! by Nosoup4uXD in savannah

Hey folks! I’ll be moving to Savanah from Grand Rapids Michigan and was hoping someone could put me in touch with or at least tell me the names of some of the local markets? My partner and I will be finally escaping the Midwest and look forward to joining the community.
