    Long, cold, depressing? If you don't like winter at all, you must be miserable. :huh: The only part of winter I dread is the "March/April won't let go" time of winter. Otherwise, bring it on! ;) These 80+ degree days in September suck.

    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 :cry:

    This is is an issue with our company's network. I have the same problem when trying to access this site from our place of employment. Sometimes I get in, sometimes I don't. I never have the issue when accessing Urban Planet from home.

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

    Here's an article everybody on this board ought to read. Some more than others. . .

    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.

    Anyone else tired of the non-stop coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings in every media outlet? No disrespect to the families and students involved, but there were 164 Iraqi civilians killed in bombings yesterday alone, due partly to our continued presence there. Iraqi civilians just trying to go about their day in markets and a hospital, and then ended tragically.

    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.

  8. The State of Downtown Grand Rapids Retail

    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]

  13. New Construction and Renovations in the Heartside District

    Some companies are still clouded by mis-perceptations from the past. I continue to suggest that Little Caesars open a store downtown.. if it were to offer hot-n-ready pizza slices as it does in Byron Center, it would do quite well. Unfortunately the higher-ups continue to say "we tried it once, we had no business." They tried it once about 10 years ago, and they weren't in the core.. they were in heartside and in the west side. But they take the failure of those locations 10 years ago and attribute it to a failure in the core today. Then again, the people I work for aren't the most intelligent anyways =p

    Find an investor & start your own franchise!!! :thumbsup:

    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!!

    I was only 6 years old at this time, but I remember the construction of Plaza Towers and Bridgewater Place. Wasn't the Plaza Tower originally a Raddison Hotel?

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