Renting in Holland
Hi! Looking for recommendations for renting in Holland. Does anyone have any recs for rentals with private landlords or apartment complexes that are nice, clean and safe?! Two bedroom minimum. TIA!
Edit: reduced context of post to hopefully receive direct recommendations. Thanks!
FOUND cat! Gray fella
Found a gray cat yesterday near The Worden Company (close to Lincoln Ave and E 20th St). I'm guessing he had a home and escaped in the last couple of weeks. He's a huge cuddle bug, loves scritches (including belly rubs!), and can meow VERY loudly. I'll be taking him to the vet ASAP to check for a microchip, but in the meantime, is this your cat? If so, please send proof (ex: pic of you two together, vet records, description of weird/interesting qualities).
Nervous about A/C and furnace quotes
I have a 1800ish sqf house and I’ve been told my air conditioner is bad and cannot be repaired. The furnace is old but worked fine all winter. I was told it would be best to do both at the same time. Has anyone replaced their a/c and/or furnace yet this year? How much should I expect to have to pay? Who do you recommend? I have anxiety about having to talk to a bunch of sales guys.
Things to do with small children in Holland?
I’m kind of thinking about going Memorial Day weekend this year. If there anything fun or educational to do with small children (ages 4 almost 5 and 7)? Any tips? TIA.
Tulips at Window on Waterfront
From afar the tulips looked promising this morning, but up close many were past-peak, seemed diseased(?), or already stems. Some friends and I were talking and we agreed they’ve never looked this bad before. Not all sections were awful but many were disappointing and some that hadn’t even opened yet with green closed heads had a lot of brown on them and looked “crispy”. Was it the whiplash of weather we had? Disease? Also in one area bulbs poked out of the ground so not planted deep enough. Tulips downtown looked better to us.
Just wanted tourists to know it’s not usually like this.
New business ID
Does anyone know what is going in on the south east corner of Lincoln and 31? Across the street from Russ’
Cheesecake
Hey hey,
so I am looking for places that sell cheese cake, does anyone have any recommendations? I know cheesecake is easily found at places like meijers, but i was hoping to find some more options than that; I'll drive to Grand Rapids.
Thanks for any help.
Parking overnight at Amtrak station
I’m taking the train just for one night and am wondering if it’s safe to park overnight at the station, anyone have any tips or ideas?
Local punk/pop-punk drummers?
Hello!
I wanted to see if there are any mid-30s-early-40s drummers out there interested in joining a start-up punk/pop-punk group, with some folk and metal influences as well. Example bands would be Sum-41, Blink-182, Green Day, Rancid, the Clash, etc etc
We’ve got a bassist/singer and guitarist, and we are writing our own material with the goals of playing some shows around the area, and enjoying music and creativity. We’re not looking for pressure or stress, just music and good vibes.
I put out a full-length album a couple years ago if you wish to hear my previous work:

Let me know if you are a drummer, or if you know one, who might be interested!
