So did I.

Rev. Ed Dobson, retired pastor of Calvary Church, has been all over the national news for trying to live "a year like Jesus", and also for voting for Obama.

Speaking of Dobson here is a link to an interview he did on Good Morning America regarding his year of living like Jesus.

What has happened to this world? I truly and completely agree with Ian Rand that the masses are incurably ignorant.

Good luck MadCap! (Still looking for an ice cream place downtown).

An ice cream shop would be nice downtown! I am thankful for the two options I have down the street: The Parlor and Sweet Connections

If you haven't checked out the live police/fire scanner feed, it's a different and sometimes entertaining way to fill the background while you're surfing or reading UP. (until you hear about something going on in your neighborhood...hehe)

It uses Windows Media Player, so you Mac people may be out of luck.

I thought I was the only one who enjoyed sometimes listening to the police scanner while checking out UP

Not Grand Rapids, but there was a black Lambroghini in Muskegon yesterday. I did a double-take on that one.

I saw a black Lamborghini driving down Cherry St. in GR last Friday or Saturday.

Gallery on Fulton

Monroe North Hotel

Icon Hotel

Hyatt Place Mid Towne Village

Streetcar

I'm very excited to see this thing get started.

I know 5 of the 6 are:

Gallery on Fulton

D&W Fresh Market on Michigan

B.O.B. expansion

Millenium Park amphitheater

North Monroe hotel

I can't remember the 6th

Amy and I generally prefer Woodland because it's closer to us, it has cheap movies (this is really the only reason we've gone there in the last year, except for a couple of visits to Penney's and Sears), and the anchor stores like Sears and JC Penney are much larger and have a greater selection than at Rivertown. Generally, we only go to Rivertown when we're already in Grandville to see her parents, and we mostly just shop at Kohl's.

The cheap seats are great. I have a hard time paying full price for a ticket when you can go there a little while after the premiere for $3 bucks.

I too checked out Johnny's Lunch on Saturday, I was there with my wife and a few friends around 1pm or so. The food was good, nothing too special, but good.

Chris Knape asks a few questions about the BRT and potential for a streetcar system in his latest blog post. What do you think about bridging east and west opposed to north and south within the city? I think I agree with what he is saying, it takes little time to go north and south within the city, mostly because of being able to easily access 131. I agree with Knape, heading east to west can be time consuming at rush hour. What are your thoughts on his blog post?

Also, you could use a free utility called Cute PDF to create a PDF. If you are using Office 2007 you can create a PDF using MS-Word.
