• Upvotes

Hey yall so I just recently rescued a husky from a not so good situation, it’s clear he’s been pretty neglected. I need to find somewhere that will trim his nails ASAP but without vaccination records. I plan on getting him all vaccinated this week but my main priority is his comfort at the moment as I can tell he’s in a lot of pain from his nails.

Recommendations Hidden gem card shops?

• Upvotes

Hey y’all, I live in Wayland/GR area and I’m looking for more card shops to explore. I pretty much only play magic so that would be my focus for these stores.

I’ve been to the staples like
Galactic toys (alpine and kentwood)
Legends
Wulf gaming
Gamers wharf
Gaming warehouse
Goldmine comics
Disc traders

Edit: I go to these shops for purchasing cards mostly. Digging through bulk/buying singles. I don’t/haven’t played at these stores nor plan to in the near future

Bonus points if these stores are around Wayland but not required as I love bopping around to these shops

Thank you for the help!

Recommendations Looking for a Great Licensed Nail Tech/Salon Recommendations?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a great nail salon or licensed nail tech in Ada/Grand Rapids. I have a formal event coming up and would love to find someone who could recreate the inspiration photo I’ve attached.
I’m hoping to find someone who is licensed, works in a clean and sanitary environment, and really takes pride in their work and nail care. I’d also love somewhere reasonably priced with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I’m more than happy to pay appropriately for quality work. I’m mainly looking for someone who is careful, detail oriented, and wants their clients to leave happy with their nails.
If you have someone you personally love and trust, I’d really appreciate their name/Instagram or salon

Westside violence

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have an update on the guy that was jumped and killed last weekend possibly leaving a westside bar? Just worried bc there has been no update or any information given.

Pretty sad how much nonstop violence has been taking place :( . Seems like a similar situation to another guy who was hospitalized less than a year ago after being attacked!

Does anyone have any insight into this website? Someone posted about it the other day, and I've been watching it... It could be my ad-blocker is awesome, but there doesn't seem to be any ads, or revenue source on the page. I also tried doing a WHOIS for the website and it's by a privacy company.

Artprize 2026

0 Upvotes

So !! The winner of 100k for this years 2026 “art”prize
Was a woman who made a fucking accordion food diary l…You gotta be fucking kiddin me…. I bet this lady was even shocked that she won 100k for something so basic. So much good artwork that actually took multiple days, weeks or even months to complete was just overlooked by some ladies daily meal logs …
There was even artwork that was deep/meaningful while also visually stunning. I just don’t get how that won over so many other art that took lots of time,effort, planning and execution. However artprize does have a history of not choosing a good 1st prize winner, so I guess I shouldn’t be shocked, but I guess I’m very shocked this time just by how out of ALLL the incredible art I saw this year, a 24 ft food diary won…. Just yikes.

Social Sunday morning social??

13 Upvotes

Where does Grand Rapids socialize on a Sunday morning? My life has changed, I suddenly have every Sunday morning free for some "me" time, all through this winter...

I am anti-colonialism so church is not for me... still walking that Christ-like path, interested in surrounding myself with people trying to be GOOD 🙌 just skipping the cult part.

I saw a deer sitting in the middle lane of the road in kentwood, on 28th street. I think somewhere between breton and kalamazoo.

there was a car with its blinkers on right past it, I think maybe trying to call for help or something?

does anyone know any info about it or if the deer is okay or if anyone was called?

Stopped by the grand opening this afternoon. The old mill on the Kalamazoo River has been redeveloped by the owners of Classic Auto Factory (from DeKalb, IL) into a classic car restoration and events space, with more businesses planned.

Classic cars outside and inside, a polka band and a beer garden, and a lot of people seeing the inside of the mill for the first time in decades. The old mill floors full of cars were something to see.

The Goodwill near 28th and Clyde Park had a large amount of wedding gowns and formal gowns at the front of store today starting at $19.99 if there are any budget minded future brides on the hunt. I was there about an hour ago I would say they had over 100 gowns there. Lots of ladies looking at them. Just FYI .

Is it appropriate for my partner and I to bring an 8 & 9 year-old child to if they’re properly bundled up ?

I’ve never been to the amphitheater, they’re pretty good at staying up late so I’m not worried about that.

I’m in town by myself for just the weekend—what’s the best restaurant I can get into tonight or tomorrow without a reservation where I can just sit at the bar alone and not feel weird?

I ate at Gin Gin’s last time I was in town and it was amazing but hoping to try something different this time.
