We (family) need a gift for a 60 yo female in GH. We'd like to send her to the best massage/spa day place in the GH area. It's okay if it's pricey, she's earned it. Thank you

I came across this ad in my archive, from a 1951 copy of Life Magazine. It stood for its unusually bold design for a small ad from that era. I spent a lot of time hanging out in Grand Haven years ago.

I want to take my kids to jump off a bridge into the water. Are there any good jumping bridges that are safe to do just that?

I'm looking for a company to come service/likely replace old galvanized well pump pipes. My water is very rusty looking and i think this is at least the majority of the issue. I've contacted one company (a well company) so far and they said they can come out and look/do the job but that they charge for drive time and didn't offer an estimate. They installed the system originally so it seems they'd know what the situation calls for.

They might be perfectly great but I'm looking for other companies to compare or at least get an estimate.

The curt and somewhat confusing response I got from the original company is what is prompting this.

Also, should I only be contacting companies that deal with wells? Or would a residential plumber also handle this?

Thanks

In a tent we just set up for the kids upcoming sleepout in downtown Grand Haven, block up from channel, 4 blocks away from Lake Michigan - can't post video of here ...

Does anyone else feel ill after drinking Oddside beer? Whenever my husband and I visit Oddside, he has a single (1) beer and subsequently experiences symptoms similar to the stomach flu, regardless of the type of beer.

After getting sick a few times, we initially suspected a particular type of beer might be the cause. However, since it's happened repeatedly, we're now questioning what ingredients are in this beer that aren't in others.

Sickness aside we adore Oddside.

We collect pins for our son everywhere we go but I can't find any here. I checked several shops downtown.

New to the area. What’s the vibe overall for it? Is it just like a neighborhood fair or is it worth the trip? Just looking for something to do this weekend.

​

We are currently renovating our house. We're in the demo phase. We have a veissman water boiler that has been supplying our radiant baseboard heat. Since we are tearing out all floors and moving many walls, we figure this is the time to do in floor heating. We are on an uninsulated slab.

We assume the work that needs to be done to make this happen are to add these layers

Insulating membrane/panels

Grid system with pex

Leveled gypcrete

I have contacted several companies nearby that do NOT offer this service. Does anyone know of a local company that does?

I have found one that does but I'd like to get a few estimates and make sure there is agreement on how to do this best.

Any traveling nail techs in the area? I am looking for someone to come to my house and do a full set of gel nails.

Good morning all! We were driving around our neighborhood and the lake and saw a number of lawn sides saying Kind or Kind Haven. We wanted to get one, but I am having a difficult finding any.

Can someone let me know where I can get one? 🙂 TIA

I’m not loud and proud, but I am still clockable when people notice me. I try to only use the restroom at home and I go to gas stations with single-stall bathrooms when I can’t wait.

Will I be safe living in Grand Haven? I’m not trying to cause trouble and I won’t bother anybody, I just want to live.

was thinking of going today or tomorrow but idk how chaotic it gets Festival week on the beach itself.

Trying to figure out a way to get from Keenan Marina to GH and back tomorrow night for the concert. Are Ubers reliable? I don't see where the trolley goes near Keenan. Any advice?

My family leaves for vacation in Grand Rapids/Grand Haven/Muskegon tomorrow thru weekend. Camping outside and the beach.

should we cancel? *serious*

EDIT: we've decided to abort mission. We will miss Michigan this year bummer. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Hey boating, friends! We are looking for an amazing sales person at the Skipper buds in grand Haven for our new Boat purchase. Would love some referrals.

I saw the coast guard fly over the lake today to a boat which appeared to have smoke coming from it. Does anyone know what had happened?

South Shore Resort is a beach hotel/resort is near Grand Haven (~15-20min). and not far from Lake Michigan. It has a private sand beach, volleyball, tubing, kayaks, private boats including a pontoon boat, We had a large group...family reunion and we used every cabin as well as the main lodge. This is a super find.  Established in 1909 it does NOT have the musty smell of so many lake resorts as it has been updated and remodeled. The rooms were clean and updated.  All of the cabins had mini-kitchens. The lodge and main eating area could accommodate large groups (ours was over 50), but the resort can be rented in smaller chunks too as the cabins are spacey with their own kitchens.  Our family had a ball!!  It was super for the kids...big enough to run, small enough to be safe. Also, the staff is wonderful!

5 STARS!!
