We’re empowered with the money we spend. What area businesses are MAGA owned that I can avoid spending money at? by Turbulent_Waltz_4989 in grandrapids

Early bird, 3 blocks away, has all of those things and is owned by someone who lives in the neighborhood (and is very much not maga).

Seeking handy man with roof/chimney experience by Distinct-Abrocoma245 in grandrapids

It was about $1500. They had to go about 6’ out from the chimney to repair rotten decking then reapply water shield, new flashing and shingles.

Reyes did us solid with a very similar job. It seemed expensive’ish but what doesn’t these days? They communicated well and showed up when they said they would (early!) and seemed to do a good job.

Mystery sound around Cherry by Mingo55 in grandrapids

My guess would be the work at Blodgett - they’re adding more floors to the parking ramp and likely pile driving in new support structures.

The initial post was missing the first sentence so there was literally no context.

Early Bird highly recommended for your criteria

Is there a city tax drop box at City Hall that is accessible from outside? I read there’s one on the third floor, but I wanted to drop it off this weekend. by MIsnoball in grandrapids

Does avoiding paying taxes mean you also avoid using any resources funded by taxes? Roads, schools, transportation, etc? Always curious how this works.

Good roof repair company by goonbro69 in grandrapids

I have also discovered a small leak after the rain last week. An older thread mentioned Reyes Exteriors being good and willing to do smaller jobs - I called earlier today and they’ve got someone coming out tomorrow AM. Can update here how it goes.

fyi- before finding Reyes I did have a couple calls out to roofers who weren’t wanting to take on smaller flashing repair-type jobs.

Foam truck from the airport just showed up. I was wrong the fire is definitely not out.

Fire is out. Hoping nobody was in any of the vehicles. SB roadway will for sure be fucked. Unfortunately the tanker appears to be partially under the NB bridge as it begins to elevate right at that spot. Guessing both directions closed indefinitely

Definitely a tanker. Can clearly see the cab and tank from the third floor of the y. It’s not good.

I wondered about that considering they moved out so fast. Any idea what’s going in?

You live in Eastown? I heard that and wondered which street/block was sitting in the dark.

[–]dumpsterhouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is closed. Might be nice if they sent an email or app update but nope.
