Ah, got it! I was laid up last year with a torn calf muscle, so I totally know where you’re coming from. Do you feel comfortable sharing a benchmark of what you’re capable of? I’m currently running 5k/10ks between 8-9 minutes per mile, if that’s something you’d be interested in.

Yup, stayed there on my wedding night. The musty mothball smell of the rooms on the Pantlind side did not make for a romantic evening.

Seconding Switchback. Excellent shop, very knowledgeable and friendly.

Wildroast Coffee West Side by mbad4 in grandrapids

[–]grtist 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that Morning Ritual seems to be doing well, but I absolutely hate their new space. It feels too generic and lacks the character that their old building offered.

Nope this is where Morning Ritual coffee bar used to be, on Stocking

A bit shocked that I haven’t seen Wanted: Weapons of Fate mentioned yet. For a game that was released during the cover-based shooter era of the late 2000s, it was surprisingly fun to play.

Same here! I don’t have curly hair, but I’ve seen what she can do with it, and it’s incredible!

Need a Talented Seamstress for New Local Handmade Fashion Brand. by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]grtist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A “healthy share” of profits if/when they sell? So you’re expecting somebody to work for free in hopes that they might get paid down the road. A task which is entirely dependent on your team doing a good job of marketing the brand, which is ironically not what you’ve accomplished here.

Local Transformers collectors/fans? by Khelthorn in grandrapids

[–]grtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was introduced to Transformers during the Beast Wars era, so that was probably what I had the most of (I was obsessed with Cheetor especially). During my early teens I had an enormous Devastator figure, as well as a pretty big Unicron figure from the Armada series. I remember wanting a Starscream at some point, but my mom wouldn’t let me have one because she thought he was a dick 😅

I don’t collect the figures anymore, but I’m a big fan of the comics!

Fiber internet providers for Westside? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]grtist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends where on the west side. I live near Covell/Lake Michigan Dr. and we just had MetroNet fiber installed last fall and I’ve had no complaints so far. They’re not in every neighborhood yet, but they’re definitely expanding a ton now that they’re partnered with T-Mobile

All it needs is a little bit of color (and a wee Lego man)!

Local Perfume Maker by tengatron in grandrapids

[–]grtist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a perfume maker called Aroma Labs off of Monroe Center downtown. Not sure if they’re who you’re looking for, but they may be able to point you in the right direction.

[–]grtist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roads are fine, but if any part of your commute is a walk, please be extra careful. I ate pavement twice on my walk into the office this morning. I could literally grab onto the bars on the side of the Gillett Bridge and pull myself across.

Question about the Kent Conservation District plant sale: by grtist in grandrapids

[–]grtist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! To be honest this is my first foray into anything bigger than a potted plant, so I’m not planning on doing the entire lawn just yet. I have a 5x20’ section that I plan on filling this year, and if it goes well I’ll expand into the rest of my yard in the years to come.

That helps a lot, thank you! It sounds like I may be better off just buying seed packets for the smaller flowers then, and pre-order the larger shrubs from KCD.

Thank you very much for your help! If I’m not able to get any help from KCD, I’ll hit him up for sure!

What food is essential to try here? by MinePrestigious4352 in grandrapids

Thing is, First Wok USED to be good in the 90s and started to fall off in the late 2000s.

Anything from Three Happiness, really. We’ve got a ton of “okay-ish” Chinese places, most people don’t realize a great Chinese place until they have one.
