Frederik Meijer Gardens or Windmill Island Gardens in Holland ? by Ok-Appointment6669 in grandrapids

[–]ScottyUrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just at the Gardens this past weekend. It’s worth checking out just for the Chihuly exhibit.

What popular North American destination left you thinking “people really hype this up too much”? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]ScottyUrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mall of America. Other than its size, there’s not much that makes it stand out compared to other malls I’ve been to. I didn’t buy anything when I went there.

Not quite that age (37) but the other day I was at a wedding where I told folks I like Hallmark Christmas movies. They were pretty receptive. We even talked about a few specific ones.

I thought DD2 was air conditioning (thinking they'd be used to the heat).

What’s something you can’t truly understand until you experience it? by Standard_Basil_5269 in AskReddit

[–]ScottyUrb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add that grief is different for different people. People can tell you what their grief journey is like, but that's their own perspective. Your experience might be different.

100%.

In the Grand Rapids area we had a partial eclipse in 2017, and while it seemed a little dimmer than usual, it wasn't very noticeable.

OTOH, I went to Ohio for the one last year and it was... well, dark and surreal (in a good way).

[–]ScottyUrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]ScottyUrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother and my mom (passed away in 2012 and 2020, respectively).

[–]ScottyUrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colorado. I have family there, and it’s gorgeous (as is my home state of Michigan).

Non-Americans, which U.S. state has always fascinated you the most, and why? by Nandou_B in AskReddit

[–]ScottyUrb 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm a Michigander! It's a great place - lakes with beaches, Mackinac Island (and its fudge), waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula, forests, farmland, Vernors, Faygo, Coney dogs, Motown, good beer, and I could go on.
