    Howdy fellow Westsider I didn't notice the vintage clothing shop when I rode by there on Sunday. Will have to check it out soon. ... WHAAAATTT!!! Frank's is moving? I'm shocked! I love the old building they're currently in but they'll be closer to my house. Do you have an idea of the timeline for Frank's?

    ... trolling ...

    They've been open since spring-ish and every time I've stopped by they've been consistently busy. Albeit, I'm only ever in there on Saturdays it's still good to see.

    Those biscuits are heavenly. All the more reason to check it out once it opens and let staff know to keep the spice/flavor/heat/etc ... coming.

    https://mibiz.com/sections/real-estate-development/restaurant-fills-ground-floor-space-at-new-downtown-hyatt-place Their first location in the Midwest. I've eaten at the one in Raleigh and it was pretty damn tasty.

    All neighborhoods around east/west streets with bridges over the river are anxiously waiting for this project to be completed.

    As someone who was performing jury duty earlier this month and lives close to downtown, it was easier and quicker to take an uber/lyft to the courthouse and walk home versus driving to the dash lot on Scribner and waiting for a DASH bus to take me to the courthouse. If there was parking closer and without a shuttle, I would have just driven myself to the courthouse.

    Got it.

    Do you mean being fully occupied with tenants/residents?

    The developer is very bullish that they'll fill the space with a grocery tenant soon. Something local? Coincidentally, that's where I parked the last time I was at Hancock.

    Reminds me of the multi level walkway from the old parking garage(where the UICA is now) to the City Center/Police Department.

    Try cycling through that area, it's complete bedlam. I try to avoid that area like the plague.

    Seems like an early opening date with no menu posted, no photos of food and a post for hiring staff on the 14th of this month. Hopefully it's not a disaster but all signs point to YES.
  15. thebeerqueer
    Wow, that's glaring. Does anyone have any idea of the square footage? The space seems pretty tight to me.

    As someone that used to work closely with North Ottawa in a lakeshore healthcare setting, I would say this is a bit of an understatement. North Ottawa's unwillingness to collaborate with regional partners will be their death sentence. The emergence of Healthpoint (joint venture of Spectrum and Holland Hospital) certainly didn't help.

    I don't have the scoop on this exact one but from my time on the NA board I can tell you there's been so many proposals for that corner in the past that have all been underwhelming. Now the are could actually support some more infill. I'll ask around.

    I second that observation, from daily my commute. Kerkstra is teaming with activity. They've had a 'help wanted' flag/banner hanging facing the highway for months too.

    From the looks of it, from the highway at least, I can't see any sand around the 'lake'. That being said, it looks like they're building a miniature castle by the 'waterfront' as a play feature for the little lords and ladies that live there.

    Best. Comment. Ever.

    It certainly left a bad taste in my mouth, I haven't bought their beer outside of the taproom since then (besides a couple of special bottles). I'll still go to the taproom and support my friends that work there but that's pretty much it.

    Also, lets just say that the author sounds like a bit of an armchair beer critic.

    I think Bombay is still open. As for the one and only time I went to East-West Brewing, the best thing was the Bombay food.

    I would imagine the right lanes in each direction on LMD would have the lane restrictions but can't confirm. How about this, as of Saturday afternoon, there were no diamonds or any signs indicating bus lane restrictions. 100% support the permanent change to antiquated buses. That being said, WoodTV has fixes the typo.
  25. thebeerqueer
    Bless WoodTV's hearts ... "The Laker Line will use antiquated buses which are 60 feet long, replacing the current buses which are just 40 feet long. The added length will allow more people to ride, increasing the capacity on the route by about 50 percent." I hope they meant to say articulating buses. https://www.woodtv.com/news/grand-rapids/the-rapid-breaks-ground-on-new-laker-line/2049133453
