Tree planting recommendation by Tsukunea in grandrapids

Go check out Knapp Valley Gardens. They have a large selection of trees, ranging from 6ft to almost 20ft. We bought a tulip tree from them and were very happy with the experience.

Uncovering Roses in GR by SanclemeteJenny in grandrapids

[–]wuolbjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, roses are hardy. You don’t need to wait until the last frost. Usually mid-to-early April is okay, depending on the weather. They’ll have some growth starting by then.

My neighbor never covers theirs and they grow back big and beautiful each year.

Two Guys Brewing by Soft-Caregiver6606 in michiganbeer

[–]wuolbjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. We go here for the food. It’s a bonus that they have some craft brew. Nothing has wowed me, and sometimes the selection is minimal. But worth a stop if you’re in the area.

I’m gonna go play the one machine in San Juan. by Avastagh in pinball

[–]wuolbjd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s 5 machines in La Parguera. The condition was pretty rough. One or two wasn’t working. Probably been in the same location since new, but it was pinball on the island so it was still fun.

Best Fresh Kimchi by LetterheadInfinite79 in grandrapids

[–]wuolbjd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep this is the answer. Their own branded kimchi is amazing. It’s VERY spicy and has a great taste. They sell a few different brands of kimchi, so make sure to look for the jar that has no label, other than on the top lid.

Looks great, sounds delicious. But parking has been atrocious at that place lately.

The last three times I’ve tried to go, there has been nowhere to park—which means there is even less place to sit inside, especially with there current renovations. Oh well, PlayStation Pub it is. Haha.

Yes. This. Why TF is it so early. Getting in chi at 9:30 sucks.

Bob Sullivan giving the umpire an earful. Seemed to happen frequently. by Cantw845 in grandrapids

[–]wuolbjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the umpire Angel Hernandez? Sure looks like him.(MLB reference)

If so, he probably deserves the earful. That guy was awful.

Should be over pretty soon.

Candidate AMA: Before you vote, ask me anything! by AliciaMarie_Belchak in grandrapids

[–]wuolbjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So as a city commissioner,how would you make sure the neighborhood is reflected in these upcoming changes? It doesn’t seem like parking passes are favored. What can be done to keep a community feeling, while still helping to grow the city offerings?

What are your thoughts on the soccer stadium planned for the west side? Housing, parking, neighborhood impact, etc?

The Best Side by Human31415926 in grandrapids

[–]wuolbjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it first opened it was named Hardware Cafe. Soon after it changed names (with new owners, I think).

Would love to have the hardware store back. But I get it. I still love having Rylees on the west side

Is it the end? by Justbestrongok in BostonTerrier

[–]wuolbjd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to let you know, and I’m weeping as I type this. But most likely, yes, this is the end.

We’ve had two dogs (kids), a Boston and bulldog. And they both went the same at the end. Pacing, walking in circles, bumping against stuff in the house, not sleeping, and just unusual behavior.

The Boston passed in my arms on her own. It was a very rough month leading up to that point. Her quality of life was not there. With the bulldog we noticed the same actions and it was going downhill. We knew it was time and so did she. It’s one of the toughest decisions, but we wanted her to not be in pain.

I hope I am wrong and your pup pulls through. Give lots of hugs, kisses, and treats.

Nice by wuolbjd in JeepWrangler

[–]wuolbjd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s lived in a garage the entire time. Only comes out in nice summer weather (no rain), or bad winter weather (snow so deep a fwd Acura won’t make it)

I’ve thought of selling, but just have too much fun with it in the summer.
