With all of the other places closing or changing hands, looks like we’re in for a rather large refresh of downtown’s dining and bar scene.

If I remember correctly, they used the recipes and names of their beers too.

Lipstick on a pig.

The problem that I have with their statement on expansion is the same thing they said when they built the arena.

Kinda disappointed that they don’t tear that building down (I don’t believe it’s historic) and develop that whole parking lot. It’s sizable enough to support something pretty big.

it seems like a lot of the cities I visit have their county offices on the periphery of downtown, except for their courts and legal teams. Looks like Kent County is following that pattern.

I wish they’d move off Calder Plaza completely, and demolish their stubby little building there along with the one across the street at 320 Ottawa.

It reminds me of the SRO’s on Division that are supposed to be hotels. Hope they are better than that.

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding your point, but I-96 only is in Michigan. I don’t think it has to cross into another state for it to be an interstate.

I know it’s a stretch (in regards to music), but Margaritaville Hotels are very nice. Just got back from staying at one in Gatlinburg.

The facade is meant to push and pull replicating the movement of the river. A better design for the lettering would be if they were backlit.

Am I looking at it wrong, or is there a big white wall facing the corner/roundabout?

I would settle for any new destination that isn’t in Florida.

Just on the surface, a $103 million credit for a $147 million project seems like an unreasonably large ask.

Protecting and maintaining those generators was the top priority when designing the parking ramp.
