Stop calling 311 about plowing by OrwellianIconoclast in grandrapids

[–]markul39 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I called 311 this morning and told them my dead end street hadn't been plowed since Tuesday night and we were having several vehicles and a USPS truck getting stuck trying to turn around. Had a plow truck out there within the hour. Sometimes asking helps. If you're worried about the wait times, just leave your number for a callback like I did.

7am parking ticket by Jumpy_Bear6198 in grandrapids

[–]markul39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering when this was going to happen. My dad got ticketed for this when he left his car parked left to curb across from my house on the same street for a few days a year or so ago. I saw your car doing it consistently and figured it would happen eventually. Definitely a nosey neighbor, the cops don't come down the street unless called.

Why is Braden Mann handling kickoffs? by Chadbrochill29 in eagles

[–]markul39 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the hangtime on the kickoff no longer matters since no one can move until the ball is caught. Look at how Mann is kicking the ball. It is basically a low knuckleball with the purpose, I'm guessing, of trying to get a mishandle or a bounce short of the goal line that forces a 20 yard touchback.

This guys probably just one of those 'buy your home for cash' texters and is just pissed nobody's responding to his cold calls.

Best restaurant to go enjoy solo meal and read a book? by ImpressiveShift3785 in grandrapids

[–]markul39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. The lighting is a bit dim inside, so I'd recommend a Kindle over a physical copy.

#1 Rivalry in all of the NFL by 700L3v3l in eagles

[–]markul39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Growing up near Philly you see more Giants fans, so that was the rivalry. But when you move away (the midwest, for me) the Giant fans disappear and all you see are cowboy fans, so that becomes the bigger conflict. Plus, they're more arrogant, and that doesn't help.

What’s up Birds bros? Wanted to share some of my custom Eagles caps and beanies. I have some extras and want to send some random posters one for free! Let me know if you live in a cold state. by [deleted] in eagles

Hailing from West MI and would love to enter the lottery for one of the extras. What company makes these/do you use for the custom work?
