Patio is nice, but because of sun can be hit or miss. Late sun warms the place up. They usually close down the garage doors and throw on the AC but it takes a while to chill down. It will be a better space in the spring and fall as temps drop. One thing I have noticed is that they have not been opening up all the seating. They usually close off the outdoor picnic tables during the dinner rush. They are also slow to fill open large tables in the new section. They have closed the "upper room" section and do not seem to be seating anyone there (used to be our favorite spot). I am guessing they are having staffing issues, and that is one reason for not opening up all seating. They have started to test pizza and beer delivery from their new back kitchen. Overall its still a great spot, they just need to break in the new shoes.

Founder’s getting some parking?

Looks like the pressure worked. “We have worked with our client to add the 'stop parking' feature to the Motu app. You should also be able to extend your parking session when needed. If you're experiencing difficulty, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected] “

Any event like this usually needs to change over time to keep the energy and life in it. 10 years of basically the same format was starting to get predictable. Im glad they are mixing it up and essentially creating 2 events instead of one. While at the same time recalling history in a way that could be interesting. https://www.mlive.com/entertainment/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2016/09/sculpture_off_the_pedestal_remembered.html

Looks like Georgina’s might have some issues. Will it stay open? https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/6-15-18.cfm
