Assuming the name stands for its location -on the corner of Monroe and Division street- it is in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids and easy to find accross from the Civic Center and the police station. Currently, it hosts several clothing and accessory shops as well as a shoe store, floral design area, an ice cream shop (with amazing homemade cones!), and a soap & candle type shop. Because of its nature, shops rotate in and out so make sure you check in often to see whats here. On my most recent trip, I checked out Blu- Goodwill ' s fashionable new and used women's clothing shop for some great deals. I also explored the soap and candle shop for yummy smells. They have one particular candle called 'the queen of farts' that had me cracking up! Don't worry- it did smell good!

I like classic pieces and was happy to see some at Covet. The store is full of super cute items, like rompers and dresses with cutouts, which seem to be very popular lately. I did find several dresses that I would consider more classic styles, including a wrap dress that I got for $30! It's airy and comfortable and great for all the hot weather we've been having. I love following Covet on Instagram, where they often post their new items and styling ideas. I don't consider myself super stylish, but Covet is a place to find something you feel comfortable and confident in. I love that this store is woman owned and local - it's nice to support a small business rather than buying something on Amazon. I loved seeing inclusive sizing and models on their Instagram! There was a great sale rack when I went in, and I saw prices in different ranges. They also have jewelry, gifts, and accessories like sunglasses, sandals, hats, and purses. From now on, any time I'm on Cherry Street, Covet will be a regular stop for me!

Many natives know of the hotel because you see in the skyline and its prominent name. My family and I went in to have brunch at their upscale restaurant on the top floor. On our way out, we saw Boutique Emmanuel and thought we'd check it out. Some of the prices were moderate, but went upwards from there. Cute purses throughout the store and some of the clothing appealed to us as well. The boutique catered to the young professionals, as well as the middle aged woman. They had great accessories and different clothing for different occasions. The woman managing that day was really nice. She was very friendly, which wasn't what I was expecting. The store was brightly lit and bigger than I imagined. There is a back to the store that you can't really see until you go down a few steps beyond the accessories area. I loved that there was appeal to different age groups, and different price points as well. I would definitely shop there again. Fun and neat little boutique in the hotel to stop in and check out.

This clothing shop repurposes old clothing and reworks it into one-of-a-kind pieces. Many of the items have been upcycled and made to be unique. This place also sell curated thrifted items that have been untouched by time. If you are a vintage clothing aficionado and/or someone who appreciates creative clothing, then this shop is for you. Everything about Second Vibess is carefully considered and placed just so. That's why I love this store -- you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into every single item that's displayed. The clothing is arranged in an artistic way around the store, interspersed with fun accessories and artwork. The shoe section has just the right number of shoes, arranged neatly. There are live plants everywhere, and some of them have names (like Keanu Leaves). This is lovely store to walk around and explore. This is mostly a women's clothing store. In fact, I don't recall seeing any clothing for men or kids. But that's OK, because sometimes, women just need a store where they can find eyelet prairie blouses, apron dresses and Mrs. Roper muu muus. This is that place.

I wouldn't normally write a review for a big box store but The Rack is different. The Rack is…read morespecial. It's about a million steps up in style from the other guys in the value store playing field and has great prices for the brands they offer. Example: I paid $62.00 for a pair of J Brand jeans. Although higher than what I usually pay, this is an extremely good deal by J Brand standards. And I can't tell you how many times I've gotten complements on other Rack outfits. I'm a size 10 in shoes and usually it's all the left over, ugo shoes in my size. Not so at The Rack. They actually cater to larger size feet. I have to restrain myself from buying 3 pairs of shoes at a time 'cause they have so many cute styles. In addition to clothes and shoes, they have a good, rotating selection of workout clothes, coats, and jewelry. They organize by styles, prices, colors, and seasons so you can find what you want. To make it convenient for shoppers, they have little check out stations around the store. If you are paying with a credit card they will just swipe it at one of these stations so you don't have to wait in the longer line. Spoiler alert: not everything in Nordstrom Rack was actually carried in the real Nordstrom. I read that somewhere and was somewhat disappointed. However, much of it is, or else the brands themselves are carried in the Big Brother store and the Rack gets some of the off items/colors from those same brands.

If one orders online and has to return an item, how is that item handled based on the fact that one was unlikely wearing a mask at home while trying it on? Do parasites or communicable diseases not count at home?, and what if a client had covid? You'd never know so how absolutely ridiculous your statement is. And 'extending this expectation to clients' again is a load of malarkey. That's a roundabout way of communism at play. 'Do it our way or you will be denied service' Perhaps you should review CDC recommendations again. Heir Fauci has stated from his own mouth that masks do nothing but placate the wearer. Ummm, yeah. Anyone who has a lick of common sense can figure this was a scam. Too bad for you Nordstrom Rack, you've lost a bunch of customers because of your politically correct/woke policies. I find it very telling that your stores, at least the last two I saw, were low in stock of most items. The stores seemed bare. Maybe it's a sign that the silent majority is done with your BS

Each time I've gone it seems that the clothes selection is for the wrong season. Going in July I was expecting a lot of tank tops, sundresses, and skirts. What I found was a lot of sweaters, pants, and long sleeve shirts. Prices were high as well. The store is organized very well by color and size which makes it easy to look for certain pieces. The staff were friendly as well! If you're looking for season specific pieces or cheaper pricing this is not the place for you.
