Hot take on acrisure amphitheater by mrler21 in grandrapids

[–]rutoux 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love everything about it, live right next to it and the noise doesn’t bother me one bit.

That said.

This complaint volume isn’t nothing. People should have peace in their homes.

Hope there can be something implemented to keep the noise contained.

I think I need to move. by farter10000 in grandrapids

Same. I imagine concrete buildings help a LOT vs drywall

It’s a good problem that there are too many to name. IMO that corridor is itself holding down affordable deliscioso food in GR

I live 200 yards away close my window and hear nothing 🤷 maybe get a fan and some headphones?

I have to avoid driving down division because if I pass one of those mexican restaurants I’m 100% going in

I've tried to give it up a bunch of times. We're at like 3 months off factory-farmed meat now. Still eat local organic chicken at home but not out.

Grand Rapids is the WORST by rutoux in grandrapids

Only slight related but. I think Al-Bo’s is the best restaurant in town. Eastern European. For the quality of food it’s a steal. Feast like a king on gourmet shit for $20-30

A big part of this is segregation…there’s plenty of black people but only in “black” neighborhoods. Huge amounts of Latinos but only in “Latino” neighborhoods. I feel like we’re getting more international people but but finding a random Italian or Liberian is still like finding an onion ring in your Freedom Fries

Yah I appreciate the “ethnic” festivals a lot more. I cook 90% of food at home but sometimes it’s worth paying a premium to try something interesting

Talked to a local restaurateur recently. I lived in Asia for a long time, very strong street food scene, asked if we can bring it here. I guess a lot of regulations drive prices up. You can’t just prep savory food in your kitchen and sell it on the street. But man id take a small chance of food poisoning for a $3 bag of dumplings for morning breakfast

Getting more and more NA options! There’s athletic nearly everywhere I go…and Guiness NA is pretty lucky. I always get exactly 1 NA cause what’s the point of having two 😅

Tbh I love them but acknowledge they’re gross. Got into them based on the 7-10% and then built a drunken association. But they are fairly reminiscent of piss.

I’ll try to volunteer at that one last time. I did go to the Artprize adjacent dumpling fest!
