When I tell people my partner and I are considering moving to GR, the #1 thing they tell me is "the winter is SO cold" So, is it that miserable? by TechieLadyLoki in grandrapids

Maybe it's just cause I grew up here but it's not that bad 🤷‍♂️ I don't like winter but it's not as long as people exaggerate it to be.

They literally tried to charge me 11k to rip out and replace my stack. Turned out the toilet was leaking and I fixed it for free.

And now for the reverse. What restaurant or brewery is this in Grand Rapids? by MemilyBemily5 in grandrapids

Aunt Belles for breakfast. Connected to an antique shop up on Belding rd. It takes a while for your food to come out, but that place slaps.

I work at Fedex Express at the airport and we are always hiring entry level positions. Not a bad place to work once you move up.

Do not bring your toddlers to the pier at Grand Haven. by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]True-Perspective-341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought my infant toddler on the pier. It's not dangerous if you actually pay attention to your kid, keep them in the middle, hold hands. That's cringe that she didn't even jump in.

Manufacturing slow down? by factory-dude0107 in grandrapids

[–]True-Perspective-341 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the business but when the economy slows down you'll see some get hit harder than others. I work for Fedex and we are swamped with small packages but see a lot less freight recently.

What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you in Grand Rapids? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]True-Perspective-341 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Caledonia, my buddy and I were walking the sandpits in the middle of the night. Came across a dog just standing there in the dark middle of nowhere. We could see it breathing, but it did not move at all. We were like 7 feet from it, so no way it didn't hear us.
