Most college kids who get a fake ID use it for one thing, and one thing only: to obtain copious amounts of alcohol. Of course there is the occasional oddball who has ulterior motives, and comedian Don Friesen is one of them.

Pictures, People and Placemaking: New Book Explores Grand Rapids’ Retail Glory Days

The holiday season is upon us, and many in West Michigan have undoubtedly joined in the mad scramble to find the perfect gifts of 2014.

Mike Green Brings the Laughs with His (Mostly) Clean Humor

If you need living proof you don't need a foul mouth to be funny, look no further than comedian Mike Green. Sure, he may not be quite as squeaky clean as when he first got onstage at age 14 to MC a church talent show and crack a few jokes, but he certainly drops far fewer f-bombs than most of his contemporaries.

Get in the Halloween spirit with these film showings

One of the many joys of Halloween (well, other than the candy, parties, costumes and did we say candy already?) are the classic horror movies.
