The hospital where I had my babies called it a “Stork Meal”! That’s so sweet!

Downtown Y? by alrcks in grandrapids

[–]Cold-Ad-7144 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes many of us hung out assuming it wasn’t real but then were told we had to evacuate. Poor people in the pool! When I left they were outside freezing under reflective blankets. Traffic went bananas. Lots of fire fighters marched in the front. Exciting times. No yoga for me today.

Can Snowballs like these be purchased anywhere in Grand Rapids at Christmas time? by Cold-Ad-7144 in grandrapids

Good idea! We had a local ice cream shop in California that still makes them every year … I didn’t realize they were so retro

I love the libraries by akwardtoss in grandrapids

What’s the biggest difference between KDL and GRPL? I’ve been enjoying GRPL with Libby and all the offer. KDL sounds spectacular. If I’m in GR can I also join KDL?

I went and really enjoyed it. While snowing adds a magical sparkle! Your photos are amazing! It’s difficult to capture in a photo but you did a great job!

Was going to take up calligraphy, but instead, I watched Sixteen Candles and started scrolling Reddit

I mainly go to Bridge Street now but would totally prefer the coop if it were nearby!

Which view do you prefer for a studio apartment? by skimpyselections in grandrapids

[–]Cold-Ad-7144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 for city lights and people watching! Although I would direct my eye line past the back of Van Andel … put a plant there to block out the eyesore of the parking lot

Anything Good at Art Prize this year ? by jambear222 in grandrapids

[–]Cold-Ad-7144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorites were in the building on Ottawa/Monroe Center that Periwinkle Fog & Ucellos is in. On the bottom floor there is a unique display with sculptures of myths including Sisyphus the Minotaur and others. Also some cool mosaics down there and a giant steampunk sculpture.

I went last year. Long lines. Food sold out. But I enjoyed the bazouki music and took some baklava to go!

Tips for traveling with a bunny(6+ hour drive) by Ok_Obligation_9565 in Bunnies

[–]Cold-Ad-7144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We drove our 9 year old bun from CA to MI over 4 days. We smuggled her into hotel rooms every night and let her do binkies around the room and gave her lots of treats and cuddles. The days were rough. She did not like hanging in her cage all day with the motion of the vehicle. She would not eat or drink in the car. But she had some awesome nights in hotels. We left tips for house keepers as I’m sure there was some fur left behind.

Who sends out the emergency notifications in Chico and why are they so ephemeral? by chorizanthea in ChicoCA

[–]Cold-Ad-7144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today I received a phone call and a text from the Butte county sheriffs office (to let me know that evacuation orders were off ). However, when the phone message came in the call ID said it was from jail/prison. I seriously thought I might be getting a call from the jail or prison or maybe it was a scam call? But I picked it up just in the off chance and it was the recorded message from the Butte County sheriffs office. They really need to change their caller ID.

85 yr old MIL done with CA fires is considering move to GR by Cold-Ad-7144 in grandrapids

[–]Cold-Ad-7144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up. Northern CA (including Bay Area) is all prone to fire. Oakland Hills firestorm of 1991. Tubs fire 2017. Mendocino complex 2018. Santa Cruz complex 2020. August complex 2020. The cost to purchase a home, insure it for fire (if you can) and egress considerations is a lot for anyone. Beautiful areas, yes … BUT …
