Grand Action 2.0 has a booklet posted on their website that had some renderings I hadn't seen before.... Grand+Rapids+Soccer+Stadium+Full+Case+For+Support.pdf (squarespace.com)

That is a pretty sexy building, I like how there are so many windows since the view should be pretty nice from there. any update on timeline? edit: I just looked on google earth and the brick matches the Sun Title building next door which is nice.

EDIT: I was wrong, but can’t remove the post. It’s still for sale. Choo choo grill post indicating that someone is buying the property…

There is a new sheltered transit stop installed in front of the Lofts on Grove apartments. Nice to see.

I think it is great that we are getting more options and I'm sure people (especially families) will utilize it. It took me a while to realize that I don't enjoy eating heavy foods before a flight...I don't feel great after and the passengers in the seats next to me also won't appreciate it. I love Freddy's but it's something I eat in the privacy of my own home when nobody is there to see me cramming fries into my mouth between bites of my burger. I had a good salad at the Aletitude spot in the new terminal recently. It is hard to say how far out that new space will extend based on that rendering, but it looks something like this:

I’m trying to imagine the meltdown in some of those west side neighborhood facebook groups if they came back and announced that it would actually be twice the size of the initial proposal

I’m having a hard time believing it would happen, but I would be very excited if it did!

I really want GR to get a high-end sushi spot like the ones that you see in bigger cities. It isn't anything "out there", but it's something that we don't currently have.

The "inclusive co-working community space and studio" at Ann an Plainfield is not going to happen. I had my doubts when I saw that they were trying to use a Gofundme to start the business, but they just made a long post on Facebook stating that they would not be opening in that location. It's a prime spot for Creston...I would love to see it put to good use.

That guy is the worst. Once in a while I will agree with one of his points but he is so insufferable that I can’t admit it out loud.

I hope this means something really great will go into that spot. I've lived here for over 5 years and I've haven't once heard anyone mention their food or beer other than the fact they have been around forever. It's a fantastic location...

Drove past this place and they have taken down the plywood and you see the new windows/overhead door. It is looking pretty nice, looks like they still have some cosmetic work like exterior paint to get it all cleaned up but the masonry looks to be repaired.

I like these details too: "A publicly owned and maintained pedestrian and non-motorized trail will be constructed along the Grand River from US-131 south to the railroad tracks, and will include additional connections from the river to Market Avenue through the amphitheater property. The trail will be funded primarily through the Greenway Grant administered by the DDA. Other connections are planned separate from this project, that would connect north and south, linking multiple trail systems and connecting more than 100 miles of non-motorized trails."

I hope this pans out - I'm glad Talbot has shown some real interest in working in GR!
