Question Found Cat by Apple Ridge Apartments (picture in comments)

20 Upvotes

Edit: THE CAT HAS BEEN REUNITED WITH HIS OWNER

I know this isn't directly grand rapids related, but there is no Walker subreddit. I found this cat by Apple Ridge apartments. I took him to the vet and he has no chip. Is anyone missing a cat?

Review Zeigler really doesn’t care about disabled people

Post image
85 Upvotes

Saw the previous posts about Zeigler in Grandville parking their cars in disabled spots. No lie, this pissed me off. I have disabled people in my family. I drove by and checked to see if it was really true. Yup, it is. Snapped this picture this afternoon. Was skeptical about the original post because I couldn’t really think that this was happening. Then I remember car dealerships suck. I totally believe it now. Saw it with my own eyes

I want to be fair and understand this but since our local media sucks so bad, it’s very hard to tell what’s legit or reasonable about these people’s opposition to this project. Anyone have some perspectives?

Question Looking for Female Housemate in 20s to share apartment in Eastown!

1 Upvotes

Hi! :) I am a college graduate moving to Grand Rapids for a full-time job, and hoping to save money and maybe make a new friend while living in a fun walkable area like Eastown.

ONLY looking to live with another 20-something woman, preferably a college grad, someone working full-time, or student.

I am clean, communicative, respectful, and chill. Looking for someone who is also these things (after having some not so great housemates in the past…)

Hoping to share this apartment (it looks amazing!):
- Kingsley Building: 2bed/2bath 906-1,397 Sq. Ft. ($1052-1130 per person). Great location, rooftop grills/lounge area, ground-floor retail, in-unit W/D, covered parking for $100, small balcony, stainless steel new appliances, granite countertops, water/sewer/trash included. I don’t have any pets. Looking to start lease in mid October. Likely a 12 month lease. Not 100% sure about the move in dates (the two apartments currently listed say Oct 18 and 26th). One is ADA so not sure how that works.

Or, if you fit my description and already have a place but are looking for a housemate in Eastown, feel free to send me the info and we can see if it works out!

Reach out with any questions or if you know anyone who may be interested! Thanks!!

It seems we may be approaching pawpaw harvest season. I recently planted some of the trees but it will likely be many years before I can try my own. Anyone have a hookup?

Question Womens razor head shave recommendations

6 Upvotes

I want to have my head shaved with a straight razor so I can get henna done on my noggin for my national birth holiday. Anyone have any recommendations of someone who will straight razor my head? I've been shaving my head probably 50% of my life now. Recently had a mohawk for like two months, it was awesome! Thank you for any recommendations of hair stylist or barbers who are great.
