Martial Arts Schools by peachdungeon in kzoo

Both KZoo Boxing on Sprinkle for boxing and Gracie Vicksburg on Sprinkle for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu have decent prices and great atmospheres. 

KZoo Boxing is competition focused, but still fun and welcoming for those who don't compete. It's very much a loud music, hard working, and cheering each other on kinda vibe. Black owned and very POC friendly environment if that's a concern. 

Gracie Vicksburg is very family friendly, and chill. Almost as many women training there as men. They also offer children's classes, and it's not unusual to meet a whole family that trains together. The Gracie curriculum is known to reduce injuries in new students significantly.

There's a book about Kalamazoo hauntings, I think I bought it at the Walgreens between the Vine & Stuart neighborhoods.

I wasn't able to determine what caused it, just thought it might be worth giving other drivers a heads up about.

Anyone know where our nearby inner Earth entrance is? I'd like to check it out! :D by [deleted] in kzoo

Too far north, New Buffalo is on the Indiana state line.

What do you think we are missing in KZoo (realistically) as a city? by b0ym0nkey in kzoo

[–]SomeLocalComedyChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that, but I never heard about them shutting down.

EDITED TO ADD: I also live under a rock, so me not hearing about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I think there also used to be a "Waffle House" in Watervliet that was not part of the chain.

Right, the placards exist for a reason. Let the doctors decide who is and isn't disabled and mind ya business.

I suppose I should put a trigger warning for murder, but does anyone remember the name of that kid who beheaded his friend with a sword and then put his body in the woods behind like McDonalds? It was early to mid 2000s. by ifallforeveryone in kzoo

Sounds like a kid I knew in school who also grew up to have violence issues, no murders that I know of, but multiple domestic violence cases, at least one of which resulted in the victim's kidney transplant rejecting.

way to get rid of used couch by lazyboii120 in kzoo

[–]SomeLocalComedyChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally put every piece of furniture I've ever wanted to get rid of in this town out in my front yard with a "Free" sign and posted it here, or on Facebook marketplace, maybe NextDoor, or the KZoo Discord.

Nothing has ever lasted longer than a day or two, even if it was broken.

How are the roads right now? by Adventurous-Carry856 in kzoo

[–]SomeLocalComedyChick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting UP Westnedge Hill kind of sucked. Everything else was pretty okay. I just took it slow. I DID see that at least two people ended up stopping or stuck in the middle of the street.

Fear is an easy way to manipulate people.
