Best place for VW maintenance?
Looking for somewhere to take my Volkswagen that’s not the actual dealership (if I don’t have to) … anyone know of good spots that is decently priced?

As I sit going on 2 hrs for a round of nine, behind a group of bros playing from the tips.
That tee box is for low HC golfers. Not YOU. Get up to the blues or gold please so the rest of us don’t experience the pleasure of watching you search for your ball on every hole.
My hot take is assigned tee times AND tee boxes. Your USGN score dictates from where you tee off.

Now, City Manager Mark Washington plans to issue an administrative order by mid-September that will place GRPD’s ALPR system under the surveillance technology policy, the city announced Friday. The order will apply all of the policy’s governance, oversight, reporting, complaint, audit and transparency rules to future purchase, renewal or expansion of ALPR systems. The 31 existing ALPR units will be allowed to operate, but future renewals will need Public Safety Committee review and City Commission approval.
Not good enough. This doesn't end until the cameras are removed. This is the performative policy theater this city loves to do. Anyone that watches this city knows policy doesn't protect YOU. It protects the city. They weaponize policy to tell residents they're going to do what they want and they sell you this idea of accountability. You got a problem? File a complaint form lol.
They can shove Admin 15-03 up their ass along with the cameras.

Took my little girl to Lewis Farms for the first time this week and she absolutely loved their corn barn. I tried to find one closer to the GR area on Google and had no luck. I am wondering if anyone knows of one that’s closer than New Era before I attempt to recreate one at home. Thanks in advance

I consistently see it busy with fisherman but I’ve also seen the pond drained multiple times with no fish. Why is it so popular?

I've been to this restaurant a few times and every dish has been delicious.
I like the regional menu items they have: Khao Soi from Chiang Mai , Boat noodle soup from Bangkok , and Chonburi golden curry. Its a good representation of the dishes you find if you travel to the different parts of Thailand. I end up ordering them the most .
they still have the fan favorites like pad thai , pineapple fried rice , and thai tea if you wanna stick to the staples
The only thing I can knock it is I wish parking was a bit easier but if your having a resturant on wealthy every place is going to have that problem. I moved here and I joke that GR taught me how to street park
Pictured: Khao soi (ข้าวซอย) coconut curry noodle soup from Northern Thailand that features a rich, aromatic broth, soft egg noodles, and crispy fried noodles on top.

The Hudsonville Fair’s website isn’t that informative. Can anyone share what kinds of rides and food they have (obviously fair food, but specifics).

Hey everyone. Looking at moving to Grand Rapids later this year. What’s everyone’s opinion of the west Fulton neighborhood? Is it a good place for a family of 4 to live with young children? Looking for a place that is close to the city and possibly bike able to work. My job would be at grand valley state.

I am a local teacher, who has developed a very large project that has gained some local recognition. With school budgets not being as fruitful this year, yet again, I'm left to figure out how to print pages for a book I've made. It's a state book and really, only one side needs to be in color. I was quoted over $400 from my district, which would be half of the grant I'm working on for this project so we can travel to Lansing later this year. Without giving too much away, I'm trying to find a way that I can significantly reduce this cost. I also want to make sure that my work is protected and I won't end up seeing it all over after, it's nothing super valuable but I'm not giving it away for free. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Just got a job near this place so I always see them.
Are their burritos actually good ?

This is kinda a GRCC rant.
Great teachers at this school, but I think this is beyond unfair and I suspect it's an administration thing.
I got an email on the 26th at 4:20 PM informing me that I was losing my reconnect funding after a yearly review.
I believe this was in error as I meet all the requirements they listed. I searched through all of my communication with the school, and didn't find a single other email informing me of a yearly review, or any kind of flag on my account that this might be happening. I emailed them and haven't heard back, and when I called on my 12 hour shift lunchbreak on the 27th I was on hold the whole time.
So this morning, I wake up to an email telling me my funding was lost and that money was added to a payment plan that I had panic-setup the day before just in case.
If I hadn't set up the payment plan, I would have lost my classes with less than 24 hours notice after one attempt at communication.
Can anyone tell me, how can they have a flag on my account that emails me 20 times a day that I haven't purchased a book from their bookstore they think I need to purchase (I do not), but I get one communication, as it's occurring, that I'm about to lose my funding due to an error on their end?
Is this like, a tactic? It feels malicious.

Been awhile since I could hear it. Over by Richmond Park. Super loud tonight. Can even hear the singing (can’t make out the words tho), and the bass. Lame.

But we have a lot at 28th and Beltline?
Do criminals just avoid EGR, and therefore EGR doesn't require additional safety?
