The State of Downtown Grand Rapids Retail
Cookin_peacocks replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand Rapids
Well, this is disappointing https://wgrd.com/moosejaw-store-closings/?fbclid=IwAR19voNshqwZBdLm3ron6KkuoBEH3NLPl7NsTph0WaK_wbTT4N2rFqM5WTs -
Hey, what's that (and other miscellanea)?
Cookin_peacocks replied to sparky05's topic in Grand Rapids
Bingo. My wife and I have one kid, and that's enough. All the other factors have made us realize that one is going to be challenging enough with the current state of our country -
Medical Mile/Michigan Street Developments
Cookin_peacocks replied to joeDowntown's topic in Grand Rapids
Nothing much has changed. Just a new perspective. I can't help but wonder if the lot/old house that's kitty corner to this will be developed soon. I'd really like to see housing there for a cohesive intersection, but I'm sure it's going to be related to the medical. -
https://www.crainsgrandrapids.com/news/real-estate/developer-eyes-mixed-use-project-on-grand-rapids-supermarket-property/ This would be really nice for that intersection. Adding density to major intersections outside the downtown core is something I'd like to see a lot more of.

Is anything going on with the Candied Yam on Division? I drive past this project several times a week, and it seems like nothing has happened in months now.

As someone who has recently recaught the golf bug, heck yeah. You could probably do a mini golf course in there. Might be smaller, but I think it could be done -

Has anything been said about the apartments that were proposed a while back on Alabama? Here, I think?

Parking problem downtown - too much of it? Not enough?
Cookin_peacocks replied to GRDadof3's topic in Grand Rapids
The other thing is they are planning on having employees park at the zoo and shuttle them on once the project at Market/Fulton gets started. Maybe building a new ramp that's large and could accommodate their employees and guests would be best -

I'm not too sure what the plan is for the Amway ramp. It was in REALLY rough shape when I worked there and I know they spent millions to repair it. But even after the repairs, it was like a bandaid and a kiss on the cheek to treat a gun shot wound. It's functional, but it's time has come. The location there is so prime for them to build a new ramp with air rights (maybe all their offices? Maybe the convention hotel?) -

The Louis Campau ramp was rumored to be torn down soon for something mixed use. That was what I had been told when I worked at AHC. However, my new career is more connected, and let's just say that rumor is not true. I keep seeing smaller surface lots and hoping for something to happen. The wedge lot on Fulton and Ionia was going to be awesome when it was developed with that tower, but that project sadly died. -
Off topic nevermind

No. It's ghost stories, really. Still, just reading about it made me look at the building a different way, even though I knew it wasn't real

I don't know, but a weird anecdote about this building. Several years ago, on Reddit, this building was rumored to be a hub of human trafficking and other extremely nefarious claims. I'm sure it's all bunk, but a fun read none the less. https://www.reddit.com/r/RBI/comments/cw1efk/what_is_going_on_at_this_abandoned_diner_in_grand/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1
