This should be a safe space for children to learn and grow, not have threats and be belittled. These kids have so much pressure already these days.

My journey within 6 months became concerning, to say the least. No sense into going into chapter and verse here, but for especially those who know me as a neighbor, educator, psychiatric practice clinician, musician, author and composer. Safe to say, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! What adds injury to insult, resulting in stagnation for me as a regarded composer. The complete absence of active security within the studios and the absence of business policies that protect the customers, like me, from any and all transgressions. Frankly, pathetic. About time, this Chapter One is shared......Stay tuned, my experience is still be analyzed.

It is best suited for performances without orchestral accompaniment (there is no "pit") which is why GRB stages The Nutcracker elsewhere. The lobby is beautiful, but small, with limited options for intermission purchases. The parking lot is miniscule and finding spots on the surrounding streets can be difficult because of the theatre's proximity to Founders and transportation terminals. Arrive early!!! for a good spot.

Beautiful facility; not a bad seat in the house!…read more I recently saw Swan Lake here. I was impressed with the new building, high ceilings, and modern styling of the theater. Although the building is on the small side, it's easy to get around the space and we had no trouble navigating the building to find our seats. I especially like the floor to ceiling windows in the foyer that made the building seem much larger. The production of Swan Lake was impeccable and even with sold out seating, I was never craning around to see the dancers as the stadium seating provided a great view for everyone. They offer limited parking near the building but have parking scattered throughout the nearby parking lots, all of which are an easy walk to the front door. Well, it's an easy walk if it isn't the dead of winter, during a record-breaking cold front like I experienced. Then every step feels like a mile. But that's not the ballet company's fault. I'm only disappointed that the theater isn't located closer to the heart of downtown. Instead, it's located near the bus station, kiddy corner to Founders Brewery. With a ballet company this talented, they deserve center stage in the city!

Grand Rapids Gold is our local NBA G League team, affiliated with the Denver Nuggets. I honestly…read moredon't really understand how these affiliations work, but I like going to sporting events because they usually have a fun atmosphere and are something interesting to do. Nate and I recently attended our first ever Gold game and had a blast. I'm really glad they're playing at the Van Andel Arena now. We opted to buy tickets at the arena right before the game, which saved a bit on fees but still had to pay at least one "processing" fee. The line also took quite a bit of time to get through. We got two lower bowl seats for $35 total. The crowd was a little sparse but we were seated by some families that were having a good time. Only a handful of the concession stands were open during the game, so the lines were a little long, but I didn't mind. The game itself was great even though the Gold lost. The energy was fun and I really liked the drum line. It was Star Wars night, so it was fun to see all the kids with lightsabers and some characters walking around. I think they are really trying to get attendance up at these games, and I'm interested in going more often. Their home games are usually on Thursdays or other weekdays. They have a Sunday deal where you can get four tickets and a $20 concessions voucher for $50, so it could be a fun outing for friends or family. Thursday evening games they do $2 beer and $2 hot dogs.

The Grand Rapids Gold begin their first season as the "Grand Rapids Gold" this coming season,…read more2021-22. However, this franchise has been around since the 2006-07 season. Then, the Gold were known as the Anaheim Arsenal of Anaheim, California. The Arsenal were part of the NBA G League (then known as the D-League) expansion in 2006 that saw the first season where teams were split into divisions. Since then, the Arsenal (2006-2009) have moved to Springfield, Massachusetts (Springfield Armor, 2009-2014), and Grand Rapids, Michigan (Grand Rapids Drive, 2014-2021). Last month (July 2021), it was announced that the Grand Rapids team was changing its name from Drive to Gold to align with the Denver Nuggets. The Gold are now the Nuggets' NBA G League affiliate after the Detroit Pistons' acquisition of the Northern Arizona Suns from the Phoenix Suns. The Pistons moved the Northern Arizona Suns to Detroit and renamed the team the "Motor City Cruise." Like the Gold, the Cruise's first season will be this coming season, 2021-22. The Drive were previously the Pistons' affiliate. Big news to come out in recent days is the hiring of 2011 NBA champion and 2009 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jason Terry to be the Gold's new head coach beginning with the 2021-22 season. I remember Terry from his days on the Arizona college basketball team that won the 1997 NCAA championship and when he played for the Atlanta Hawks (1999-2004). He retired as a player from the NBA after the 2017-18 season and worked as an assistant general manager for the Texas Legends in the G League in 2019. Some notable players who have played for this franchise include former North Carolina Tar Heel and NBA veteran Reggie Bullock, pro basketball journeyman Jordan Crawford, former 20-PPG Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets legend Kammeon Holsey, nine-year NBA vet Brandon Jennings, former Duke Blue Devil and 2016 NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers Dahntay Jones, another former Dukie and 2017 ACC Tournament MVP Luke Kennard, and 2009 SEC Player of the Year and eight-year NBA vet Marcus Thornton. The Gold currently play in the 5,000-seat DeltaPlex Arena in Walker, a suburb of Grand Rapids. Convenient on-site paid parking is available at the DeltaPlex.
