what happened to the Gilda's Club dialogue?

Year 2020 - - Meijer - -your one stop shopping, get your hair cut, do your banking, get your coffee, get a pedicure, outfit yourself for the season, take a nap, go up 2 flights to your condo above the store, work mobile, never leave the Meijer bubble . . .beam me up Freddy.

Considering winter will probably start next week and not stop until May, I say bring on the warm & balmy weather as long as possible! But, as my name implies, I am a sunlover, and definitely living in the wrong state! LOL

so, in other words, they are trying to prevent goofin around, huh? lol

Hey GR Dad . . . .Is Urban Planet down a lot? I can only get on to this site very sporadically. Many times when I type the web address and hit "enter" my screen will go completely blank. Maybe its an issue on my end? thx

Good article. And so true. I volunteer with a special needs group of wonderful people! In the past, I would carelessyly say on more than one occasion, "I am such a retard" or "he is such a retard" and one day I realized how insulting and rude that is. So, I make a conscious effort to not use that word anymore.

I could not agree more. It is a horrible tragic event that the media has made a complete circus out of. I saw one teaser for a show that was going to be all about the shooter . . . this guy is getting more exposure dead than alive . . .if anything, I'd rather see the victims talked about and their lives honored rather than glorifying the shooter. There is a small graveyard close to my condo and I was walking on the bike path next to it the other day. I noticed a new headstone . .it was that of a 20something soldier who I assume was killed in Iraq . . .when is the war going to stop? Why aren't we protesting that? It is all just so sad.

Excellent idea! I was just thinking the other morning that what is also needed is someone with the vision to get this done and the money &/or clout to make it happen. Someone similar to Sam Cummings who accomplished an amazing revitilization on Ionia by the arena (and other areas). Turning dilapidated buildings into vibrant, money making ventures. [altho I was sad to hear the Sierra Room is closing]

Happy Birthday !!!!!

No, it doesn't. I shop there all the time.

Don't worry . . .in a week or so it will be snowing and we can all complain about how cold it is . . . .

When did Damons close?

Find an investor & start your own franchise!!!

hee hee . . .you can but why would you if you could choose otherwise??? :-)

Ever heard of snow? . . . .

Charley's Crab has a lovely view of the river and in the summer you can sit on the deck and look at it/smell it rolling on by . . . .

I was in Manhattan last week for business. It was my first time visiting the Big Apple and I must say I was impressed. I was a bit apprehensive coming there on my own but it ended up being a great time. I can't wait to go back!! And you New Yorkers are quite a pleasant bunch despite the stereotypes!!

OK, now I feel old . . . . . . .anyway, it has always been condos + a hotel . . . . . . .

If you are looking for fun, inexpensive entertainment, check out River City Improv. They have shows about 2x a month at the Wealthy Street Theatre. It is usually sold out so get there early. I laughed so hard I almost cried . . . .

Too much to read on here . . . missed this post before . .. thanks for the info . .

Noto's is a fabulous dining experience . . . the food is delicious . . .Pollo alla Sciliana is my favorite . . . ummm, now my mouth is watering . . .

Read the front page of the GRBJ January 23, 2006 edition . . . "Michigan's Outbound Migration Continues" . . . .

Looks like I am a long way off from the City.

What do the titles under your user name mean on this site? i.e. "unincorporated area" which is under mine . . . just curious
