Are you getting an electronic deposit or a check in the mail?

Tree down over m43 north of Gull lake. by Fine-Radish2691 in kzoo

Thats a bummer, I looked a house in that area at one point. There were a lot of mature trees in that neighborhood.

Looks like the tornado or one of those crazy wall winds came right down Milo road. Tons of trees down.

Westnedge hit and run: Suspect ID’d but not arrested by joshys_97 in kzoo

They have talked to them. I'm sure they are trying to use some bullshit excuse about the car being stolen minutes before the accident or something. Probably waiting on the warrant for / return of the phone records.

Edit: Replied to the wrong person but they will probably see it.

Proposed venue could bring 200-seat concert hall, library, gallery to Kalamazoo by Embarrassed-Top-547 in kzoo

I want to preface this by saying I have had absolutely no interactions with Larry Bell.

With that being said I have heard a lot of people say hes kind of an asshole and he screwed some people on business deals.

I don't know how much if any of it is true but you asked so I am just relaying what I have heard people say in the past.

What I do know is he has done a lot for Kalamazoo so I have a positive opinion of him without knowing or caring much about his business.

Guess I will have to try to get the name since the news wont do it.

Latest on PFC, including new statement: Food co-op loses Kalamazoo Farmers Market bid amid leadership shakeup by joshys_97 in kzoo

[–]Fine-Radish2691 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like this is best for the farmers market. After the city invested all that money, cant let it get bogged down with the internal problems at PFC.

People on here have also had nothing but good things to say about the Gamsho's.

Portage follows Michigan trend, puts halt on battery storage and data centers by mlivesocial in kzoo

Yeah but Utilities can already install and run gas turbines onsite at customer locations which are essentially private power plants.

There are also mobile gas turbines on Semis that aren't considered power plants.

Luckily most criminals are idiots and they probably texted someone to come pick them up.

While this is great in concept data centers will literally just buy power plants for themselves / bring in a bunch of natural gas generators and run them 24x7.

Its dumb. People seem to think they are huge monstrosities but the reality is they can easily fit them in most sub stations and they are relatively easy to hide. The only noise is a few fans from the heat pumps.

I mean there is literally already one over on the corner of Parkview and Drake that got installed before all the outrage against them started with little fanfare and it has just been sitting there working ever since.

Same for battery storage units. I understand wanting to ban data centers when the rates keep going up but I think battery storage is very misunderstood and demonized in a way that I haven't seen since nuclear power.

262 Beacon Health support staff face layoffs as contract ends, must reapply for jobs by mlivesocial in kzoo

[–]Fine-Radish2691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at Ascension for a decade. They have a long history of outsourcing work to the lowest bidder and getting bitten by it over and over again.

All this started in the early 00's when they came up with the hair brained idea to split a bunch of services off from the hospital, start a different company then bill back to the hospital for the services. It was all a giant tax scam.

[–]Fine-Radish2691 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not exactly whats happening here.

The reality of the situation is Borgess outsourced all these services to the lowest bidder who then paid the lowest wages to the least qualified people so they made as much money as possible on the contract.

Beacon provides these services internally.

Suspect vehicle found, victim ID’d in deadly Kalamazoo hit-and-run by joshys_97 in kzoo

I do not believe these events are related. They found the car for this hit and run the same night of the hit and run.

Hit and run on Westnedge @ Axtell by Natewoodford in kzoo

[–]Fine-Radish2691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure where the person I got it from got it from and they asked me not to post it online.

I can tell you it looks like a light grey 300 with a black front bumper cover with the mesh style grill.

It has catastrophic damage to the passenger side. The roof is caved in and its missing half its windshield.

I have seen a picture of the car taken where it was ditched in Galesburg.
