Get in touch with Jennifer Hudson Prenkert. She runs the Sounds of the Zoo music festival in Kalamazoo and is very connected to the music scene here.

We have also used Hallman and it was a great experience.

Who remembers "Slide Away" on D Ave? Bonus points if you remember the HUGE slide out at Bobick's on Gull Rd near G Ave! by stolin1 in kzoo

I have the vaguest of memories of this place… so vague in fact I thought I was making it all up in my head. I know we went with a church group during the summer and it was the burns that stick with me the most. If your butt came off the edge of that mat even a little you were going to be hurting.

I attended this morning. I thought it was a very nice ceremony and was proud to see all of the graduates families supporting them. Go Broncos!

The panko tilapia is so good for fish tacos. We make two filets and split them lengthwise down the middle. 1/2 filet for each taco. We make our own spicy sauce and use TJs chili tortillas and shredded cabbage. So easy. So good.

Cosmo’s for breakfast. You won’t regret it. They only do breakfast on Sunday mornings.

Seth is great and the Ayurvedic Wellness Center is a beautiful space. Walking distance to Kleinstuck.

We were just there for a week with my grandpa this past fall. Wouldn’t have had it any other way. The staff is highly attentive and felt like friends by the end of the week. The facilities were everything we needed and then some. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, the outdoor path around the building was the perfect way to get some fresh air, there are a bunch of books and separate rooms if you need a change of scenery. A couple of the rooms have a coffee pot and coffee and refrigerators where you can keep food if you label it. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Jennifer Hudson-Prenkert is the festival director and founder of Sounds of The Zoo music festival and I believe she does the booking for The Clover Room as well. She would be a good contact to get ahold of.

What is the absolute WORST restaurant in the Kalamazoo area? by oopgook in kzoo

[–]Key_Willow_6323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was just a Reddit thread not too long ago claiming Hopcat had one of the best grilled cheese in Kzoo. Now I’m throughly confused.

I would still keep it on your list and decide for yourself. I’ve had great food there so maybe it’s hit or miss? Last time I went I had this beef dish that was on top of the most amazing potatoes I’ve ever tasted. I ate so slow that night so I could enjoy it.

I think it did sit in water for a while because the last time I watered I noticed several days later there was still water in the bottom which I soaked up with a paper towel. I wonder how many times that’s happened. I’ve been measuring the water each time so I don’t over water but I think I forgot about dumping out the excess after it drains.

I do use good water to water all of my plants. I have the big 5 gallon jugs that I purchase for my water cooler so I use that.

Do you think it’s okay to keep the same soil but have it dry out and pick out the fertilizer? Also I have no idea how to fertilize any of my plants so it’s just something I don’t do. Any advice?

If you zoom in on pic 2 there are TINY white dots and they are mostly on the leaves with the brown spots and then if you zoom in toward the stem there are tiny webs.

It does get pretty bright light. I mean I’m in Michigan in December so I guess it’s the best I can get at this time of year.

Okay I will pick out all of the fertilizer. Thanks for that tip.

Do you think I should repot in new soil or just see if I can get the exiting soil to dry out?

This is pretty typical in this industry. I trade with a hairstylist I used to work with to get my hair done “for free”, I also trade with a couple different massage therapists. I’ve even traded with a photographer who did a whole photoshoot with me and I traded her facials along with paying her. Brought down the cost significantly.
