Last week’s pickup was delayed due to snow. But I just watched everyone’s trash and recycling get dumped into the same truck, and I’m wondering where to report it.
I'm hoping to find a very reasonably priced office near downtown. The actual office specifics don't matter much (basically, a closet with a mailbox). It just needs to have a commercial mailing address and needs to be accessible to UPS/FedEx/our technicians. Anybody know of anything that will meet my needs?
Wednesday night is the 3rd Cinemugs at Harvey's on the Mall!!! Do you have a video project you made and want to show off, or do you have a project you're working on and want feedback/critique, or do you just like supporting and watching local films? Well come on over at 6:30pm and grab a tall mug of beer and chill with us. It's 100% free to participate and join!! The only rules are: -Project has to be something you've made or are working on. -Can be live action or animation, and does not have to be completed. -The length can be anything but only up to 20 minutes can be shown at a time. -Digital Files are preferred but we can access projects from the Internet. -Nothing with pornographic nudity/sex or hardcore disturbing violence or hate mongering.
Can't wait to see you there!!
I have a necessary out-patient thing coming up at Bronson but, as I live alone, I don't have anyone willing to get up at 0500 and drive me 40 miles to Bronson, hang around for 6 or more hours and then drive me back again - and then stay with me for 24 hours. (lawyers, I guess.) So, they told me they have 'sleeper rooms' where they would prefer I stay for the night. I would like to drive home when they're done but I could hear the horror in the nurse's voice when I said so.
Has anyone done this? What can I expect there? Will they feed me (I wouldn't have eaten since dinner the day before). Will I be a 'prisoner'? Or could I go out to my car and get things, hang out, and then head back in?
I ask because I deal with a condition where being in places that are not mine and not being in control of my immediate surroundings wigs me out and often triggers a not-all-that pleasant response. And, in all my 66 years this will be the first time as an adult I'll be at a place out of my control and I'm freaking out about even the thought of it now.
Any advice or positive input would be appreciated.
Does anyone know of any local winter coats drives going on right now? I have several winter coats I would like to donate. Thanks!
My Dad and my brother are flying out from the UK at the end of June next year. None of us have ever been fishing before but they're really into the idea of chartering a boat and heading out onto one of the great lakes.
Is this possible or worth doing for us? My dad has his skipper license but I'm not sure that will matter at all lol

As I’ve mentioned before in previous posts. I just want to thank everyone who I’ve cleaned for in the past and still presently clean for. You’re all amazing. With that being said. I just surpassed 1 year as a small woman based business owner. As a thank you to this community for helping me establish a name for myself. I would like to do a small giveaway for a one hour clean.
If you would be interested please comment one thing you are looking forward to in the New Year. I will pick a winner after the 1st of the year. Again, Thank you all for being amazingly supportive and kind 🫶🏼 Keep being you!
I’ve always wondered what these little cones are on top of the library. Are they just for decoration?
Hi all. I have a car with a bad transmission that I need to get rid of, which junkyard/business offers the most in your experience in the area? Thanks!
With the below freezing weather I don’t want to order online so if someone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
Also, if you have some and want to sell me some, I’d happily buy any colored freshwater shrimp. I am primarily looking for brighter colors(cherry, pumpkin, red panda.) but right now any will do.
Dani's or Legacy Table?
Any places in the area serve brunch on New Year’s Day?
What’s going on in Kalamazoo for New Year’s Eve?
My Grandmother passed away last month and this week, my aunt gave me my Grandmother's family Bible that was originally bought by her maternal grandfather. The Bible was manufactured in 1875 and is very ornate, but it is starting to fall apart. Are there any good book repair shops near by?
I have very minimal experience driving in the snow. Eventually I'll move closer. Any recommendations on areas to move to are welcome. I know Allegan has a few apartment complexes
Hi everyone.
Now that we're officially into the holiday season, I thought I'd share some of my various holiday music for anyone interested. For those who don't know, I'm a local solo artist under the name Matt Squared. My holiday music includes originals and a few adaptations. It's got aliens, Santa, Black Friday, and spooky stuff. For those who are interested in checking out something holiday, but a bit different, I'd love it if you gave it a shot! Thanks!
Most of it can be found on the album Synthmas Tidings: https://open.spotify.com/album/0BkbX2RtzddTqRluuq55nz?si=HXgPqMxGQ4WR03ea8ckV3A
Outside of that album, I have a single titled Twas A Dark Christmas Night: https://open.spotify.com/track/7G4s5HFQYzKdbrpHikH9VX?si=860fc8b6d8c34503
This being our first major snowfall of the year, I just wanted to remind people to please be courteous to your fellow drivers and clear your vehicles of snow before getting on the road. That includes your lights, mirrors, windows, and roof. Significant snow/ice on the roof of your vehicle can fly off and hit and/or hinder the visibility of those behind you.
That is all, stay safe and warm this weekend. ❤️
Hi Kzoo! My husband and I are moving to the area from Kansas City in January. I have a job lined up with the Battle Creek VA, but my husband will need to find a job. How’s the job market? He’s a veteran and has varied experience, from chemical/ solvent to mechanical (diesel and small motor).
I’ve used the search feature and have noted companies who are consistently mentioned, but wanted to see if anybody had any other recs.
Edit to add; thank you all for the suggestions- much appreciated. He was able to summit a few applications yesterday and will continue to work on more.
Thanks for letting me know y'all.
Can anyone recommend where to buy kerosene from a pump south of downtown where I can fill my own containers?
Meijer on Shaver road in Portage in the past sold kerosene from a pump but not anymore.
Thank you in advance.
