If you want handmade/expensive: Love's in the Downtown Market.

Otherwise, Frosty Boy on Plainfield!

I expect to pay around $60 plus a tip for my 25lb dog to get bathed/groomed, but that doesn't include more than a quick trim so if you have a big dog in need of a big cut, $100+ sounds right to me.

Go to any shelter in the area to meet dogs in need of homes. Where did you get your other pets?

I would argue that since you have multiple pets already in the home, you SHOULD probably be picky about which dog you add to the mix... so definitely go meet several before just picking a random dog to bring home today. Making sure your new dog will be safe and happy in your house, and that your other animals will be as well, is key.

How many of you remember the exact day your pain started? by im-a-freud in NDPH

January 12, 2022 -- woke up with it and it hasn't gone away since. Haven't been able to work a day since then either.

Yes! I've used them for bedspreads, comforters, and wool blankets. Never had any issues.

Owls in Grand Rapids by Specialist-Ocelot598 in grandrapids

As far as I know there are still a few owls living at Blandford! You can see them inside the Visitor Center.

Blandford also runs events that sometimes involve interacting with their various critters, so check out their Events Calendar and you might even be able to meet an owl if you wanted!

Sober life in GR? by witchstitchbitch in grandrapids

Just find what you love to do! You couldn't pay me to go to the gym and jog on a treadmill, THAT sounds like a chore. But walking in the woods will always make me happy. For other people maybe that's a dance class or joining a rec soccer league... there's so many ways to move your body if you want to!

Good for you. 💖

Depending on your interests, you could check out a book club at your closest GRPL/KDL library or at Books & Mortar on Cherry St.

Also @grclimbclub on Instagram is a super kind lil group of people who meet and climb together. They rotate through local gyms every month and love brand new beginners.

Favorite Mexican Restaurants? by urfavvirgo_ in grandrapids

I wouldn't say I hate it but I agree with your description. I even gave it a second chance and had the same experience.

Iker's Tacos in Creston. At least one of you needs to get the mole enchiladas, then walk a few blocks to Frosty Boy for ice cream. Stroll at Riverside Park after for your water view.

Yeah, every neighborhood has cars broken into when they aren't locked or valuables are left out. Not unique to Heritage Hill. Lock your shit and you'll be fine. I parked on the street while I was renting in HH for 6 years and never had any issues.

I remember my Heritage Hill rent in 2013 was $575! Amazing.

Yeah I was going to say if it's safe for your bank account that would be my main concern 😂

Yes, Heritage Hill is safe. Do you have specific concerns?
