Looking for the best parks in West Michigan? In this episode of Living in Grand Rapids, Doren Colley with the May Group Realtors at RE/MAX of Grand Rapids shares his favorite parks and outdoor spaces around Grand Rapids, from family-friendly neighborhood parks to hiking trails and hidden beaches just a couple of hours away.Grand Rapids has a big-city energy with restaurants, live music, and even a Beer City USA title, but some of the best moments here happen when you slow down. Whether that means a morning trail, a playground afternoon, or a quiet bench with coffee, West Michigan has a park for every kind of day, and this video breaks down exactly where to find them.⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS Introduction (0:00) What Are the Best Parks in West Michigan? (1:00) Best Family Parks & Playgrounds (1:17) Trails for Walking, Running & Biking (2:19) Quiet, Natural Parks (2:47) Choose Your Own Adventure (3:08) Beyond the City: Beaches & Dunes (3:25) Final Thoughts (4:07) What Are the Best Parks in West Michigan? It's one of the questions Doren gets asked most, and honestly, it's a tough one to answer because there are so many great options. Instead of a top ten list, this video walks through favorite parks and outdoor spaces based on the type of experience you're looking for, from playgrounds to peaceful hikes.Best Family Parks in Grand Rapids: If you have younger kids, Grand Rapids and the surrounding communities are full of neighborhood parks with playgrounds, splash pads, open fields, and gathering spaces. Some of the local family favorites include Millennium Park, Riverside Park, Hager Park, and Townsend Park, all of which offer large green spaces, trails, playgrounds, and reservable pavilions for parties and family reunions. For something closer to the neighborhoods, Garfield Park and Richmond Park are easy to get to and great for quick afternoon outings, complete with well-loved disc golf courses.Trails, Biking & Quiet Natural Spaces: For walkers, runners, and bikers, the White Pine Trail is a West Michigan favorite, stretching more than 90 miles from Comstock Park to Cadillac with a paved, mostly flat path perfect for dog walkers, families with strollers, and long-distance athletes alike. For a quieter, more natural setting, Doren recommends Pickerel Lake Park, Lewton Park, Townsend Park, and Roselle Park, all beautiful spots for wooded trails and a little solitude.Beyond Grand Rapids: Beaches, Dunes & State Parks. Within a couple hours of Grand Rapids, you'll find some of the most beautiful beaches and dune systems in Michigan. Doren shares one of his favorite outdoor adventures, backpacking at Nordhouse Dunes along Lake Michigan, about two hours northwest of the city, where you'll find white sand, crystal clear water, and a beach that feels almost private.Whatever kind of day you're looking for, whether it's a playground and a picnic table or a challenging hike, West Michigan has a park to match. Watch the full video to find your next favorite outdoor spot, and let us know in the comments which West Michigan park is your favorite.*LET'S CONNECT*Download our Free Relocation Guide: https://marketgrandrapids.com/relocation-guide Email: contact@marketgrandrapids.com Website: https://marketgrandrapids.com Instagram: @MayGroupRealtors

Capitalizing on local infrastructure before it goes mainstream determines who captures the territory and who gets left behind. In this episode, Jesse Hull breaks down how he turned a passionate two-wheel hobby into a dominant multi-location enterprise embedded directly within corporate headquarters.We sit down to unpack the exact operational shifts required to move from an artistic container setup to a massive two-story flagship destination. Jesse Hull explains the nuances of corporate retail integration, the high-margin reality of fleet rotation schedules, and the strategy behind securing exclusive corporate campus placements over larger national competitors. His core philosophy centers on relationship-driven operations that prioritize customer service agility over rigid corporate sales frameworks.The reality of running a premium fleet means absorbing massive upfront asset investments where a six-thousand-dollar mountain bike is only viable for a single season of heavy wear. Scaling operations alongside a corporate giant introduces complex logistics, intense competition for real estate, and the constant demand for rapid maintenance turnaround times. Viewers will walk away with a clear framework for auditing their local market positioning and leveraging community partnerships to insulate their brand from turnover.If you care about micro-mobility infrastructure, asset utilization strategies, and regional brand dominance, you will get a lot of value from this conversation.

Revisiting the Butthole Surfers - Paul Leary

Send us Fan MailThis week on the podcast Paul Leary, guitarist for the Butthole Surfers stops by the show to discuss the release of After the Astronaut (Out Today), revisiting the archives, the documentary and more. *****In 1998, when BUTTHOLE SURFERS followed up their 1996 mainstream breakthrough Electric Larryland with their next record entitled AFTER THE ASTRONAUT, the major label they were signed to at the time pulled it from their release schedule at the last minute. Their reasoning? They wanted a more “commercial” record. Had that label known Butthole Surfers' oeuvre better, they probably shouldn't have expected another “Pepper” (their #1 Billboard Modern Rock from 1996). Instead, After the Astronaut was shelved… until now when Sunset Blvd. releases that mythic and much-discussed follow-up on June 26, 2026. “We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single ‘Pepper',” recalls guitarist Paul Leary. “Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured.” After some legal wrangling, Butthole Surfers were released from the major label's roster and their contract was sold. “Hollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us,” he notes (the reconfigured and reworked album was eventually released as Weird Revolution in 2001). “Now we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut.”Reacting to the grunge/altrock sludge that was populating the airwaves, Leary, drummer King Coffey and vocalist Gibby Haynes pulled away from the style that was surfacing and, instead, submerged their creativity deeper into electronics, industrial beats, acid grooves, and other synthesized sci-fi sounds. “After the Astronaut was a fun project," says Coffey. "We were using all the digital toys at our disposal at the time, and it felt much like the creation of Locust Abortion (1987). We were playing with new toys, creating things that amused us with the crayons we had, and we weren't worried about radio airplay. It felt like we were going back to our experimental roots while still navigating the major label ecosystem."  Kicking off with Haynes' spoken word intro where he announces “I stand as a messenger of strangeness this evening in order to impress upon or at least to instruct the honorable musicians as to the methods and motives of the truly bizarre reality,” “Weird Revolution launches into a trippy and psychedelic cacophony of distorted guitar and beat-heavy rhythms that sets the tone for the record. The syncopated vocals of “Intelligent Guy” veers into proto-industrial synth grunge territory, grimy and dirty with a pulsating, mechanized beat. First single “Jet Fighter” finds the band in a surf-punk mood, exploring lo-fi dadaist psych rock filtered through a thrift store PA system, which originated, as Leary remembers, “when I purchased a 12-string electric guitar and wanted to play it.” It's the unnatural progression of the anti-mainstream pop song that fit perfectly in the oddball late ‘90s aesthetic. An anti-war protest song that, while originally written decades ago, echoes a sentiment that can be applied today, Gibby sings about Mikey who enlisted in the military and “He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky / Set his sights on Beirut and he let his missiles fly / Boom, Boom!”The textural and moodily cinematic “I Don't Have A Problem” is an exercise in layering, with distorted voices weaving in and out of textured fuzz, guitar feedback, and other subterranean and unnerving sounds, which unsurprisingly is Leary's favorite song on the album. “King showed up to the studio one day with a device that could listen in on other people's cell phone conversations,” Leary laughs. “We set it up to record and turned it on.  Right out of the gate this guy is talking about girls with ‘knives and daggers.' We turned it into the song ‘I Don't Have a Problem'.” Emerging from the 1980s hardcore scene, Butthole Surfers was formed by Haynes and Leary while in college in San Antonio, Texas. Bonding over a shared  distaste for mainstream music, Butthole Surfers traipsed through the music industry, always in the fringes. Championed by Dead Kennedys, Nirvana, and Orbital and compatriots of Scratch Acid, Flipper and Big Black, they remained a fixture in the music scene's counterculture. In a moment of mainstream acceptance (they scored a #1 Modern Rock Hit with “Pepper”), the band always embraced the obtuse and the obstinate. Though the band has never quite broken up, their legacy still inspires other acts, including Gwar, Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, Primus and dozens more.  Butthole Surfers on After The Astronaut is Gibby Haynes (vocals, synths), Paul Leary (lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards), and King Coffey (drum machines). After the Astronaut was produced by Paul Leary, engineered by Stuart Sullivan (Meat Puppets, Sublime) at Arlyn Recording Studio, mixed by Paul Leary at Preacher Mon Studio, and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Herbie Hancock, Beastie Boys, Nirvana). It will be released on June 26, 2026 via Sunset Blvd. with original art by Paul Leary and Gibby Haynes.*****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

More Aucklanders are hopping on bikes. According to Auckland Transport, the city is quickly becoming the cycling mecca of the South Pacific, with a huge surge in cyclists - May the busiest month in decades. They say trips are up more than 14% on last year – driven by new cycleways, high fuel costs, and growing demand for cheaper, healthier travel. AT's Head of Active Modes Tania Loveridge told Kerre Woodham the key routes they're starting to see high volumes of cyclists are the big commuter ways that connect into the city centre. She says the intention is to create a connected network, not just for cycling, but also into the wider public transport network, so people can take their bike and then jump on the train, for example.

When it comes to pushing through and achieving the unimaginable, our minds will give out well before our bodies. The question is: can you control the mind and overcome the doubts that it produces?After losing his leg in a motorcycle accident, Sam Maddaus made a decision few people would consider and even fewer would attempt: he set out alone to ride a bicycle 16,000 miles from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina using a prosthetic leg.Over the course of 21 months, Sam crossed continents, endured physical pain, navigated uncertainty, confronted isolation, and repeatedly faced moments that could have ended the journey. Instead, he kept moving.In this episode of 12 Geniuses, we explore not only the expedition—but the operating system behind Sam's extraordinary endurance.Sam shares how he prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally for an audacious goal with no guarantees. He reflects on the confidence required to begin, the role of identity after loss, and whether prior achievements mattered when facing a challenge of this scale.The conversation then turns to lessons every leader, founder, executive, and decision-maker can apply:How resilience is builtThe power and limits of self-talkWhat doubt sounds like in real timeHow to continue when quitting feels rationalDistinguishing between discomfort and painReinvention after disruptionWhat extreme adversity reveals about character, capability, and purposeHow small wins build on each other to create character, confidence, and exceptional resilienceThis is a conversation about endurance, adaptation, and discovering that your perceived limits may not be where you think they are.For global business leaders navigating volatility, change, and high-stakes decisions, Sam's story offers a rare look at what sustained resilience actually requires.

In this BeerTalk episode, we head to Belgium — to Leuven, one of the country's true beer hotspots — and step into a place that instantly sticks in your memory: Bart Delvaux's taproom brewery in Kessel-Lo, where beer culture meets bike culture in the most Belgian way possible. Bart shares how it all started with homebrewing in a basement, then took a surprising turn during a work relocation to Chicago — and a bicycle crash that (ironically) led him straight into the world of American taprooms. What began as a setback became the spark for a new life: returning to Belgium, building a brewery, and creating a space where locals and visitors can drink fresh beer on draft, right next to the kettles. We talk about Bart's crossover brewing philosophy — from an easy-drinking cream ale and a smooth, low-ABV tripel, to a bold West Coast IPA, plus monthly specials that range from refreshing sour gose to stouts with chili, tonka beans, and other twists. Bart explains why they don't bottle, how they keep quality and freshness in their own hands, and why the taproom experience matters just as much as the beer itself. One highlight: Bart's obsession with creating beers that surprise you — like a white stout that looks like a pilsner but drinks like a stout, built through careful ingredient testing (and a lot of patience). And yes, we also get into hop water, food collaborations (tacos + jalapeño gose!), and the warm, supportive way Leuven's brewers work together...

Episode: Best of Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest's 5 Steps to Solo Travel Guide for people like you who need extra support traveling (slowly) one at a time. We've been helping women find travel memories since 1993 and traveling solo since 1972. Please share the memories we create and tell a friend about them. I appreciate your feedback and travel questions. FAQ Should I use public transportation abroad?   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan    Lesson Learned: Don't schedule everything Day 1   Travel Tip: Trust your gut instincts, if unsure, pivot fast.   FAQ Response:  Should I use public transportation abroad?   Yes, you should try it at least, but not in rush hour with all of your luggage. One way to test it out is to try it early morning, before rushing workers get on, but while it's still light outside.  Most times, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try.   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan   Special episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan   March 2025 was my first visit to this scenic region, which reminded me of Lake Tahoe, California.  I had to refer to my notes, which could be helpful to you.   Arrive in Taoyuan airport and take the train to the Taipei Main Station and take the HSR train to Taichung City which comes about every 30 minutes and takes about an hour.   Bus to Sun Moon Lake, which comes at least hourly.   The total cost to get there is about $25, and it takes about 3 hours. To drive, you would take about 2.5 hours and save a few dollars.      Where to Stay? There are several hotels and resorts. My room at the Harbor Resort was not ready when I arrived, so I walked around the lake in the meantime. Here are a few other places, the most expensive one listed first. Luxury/Comfort: Fleur de Chine Hotel – thermal spa access, lakeside views, wellness focus Midrange/Solo-Friendly: The Crystal Resort or Hotel Del Lago – walking distance to bike paths and pier Budget/Unique: Sun Moon Lake Youth Activity Center – traditional wooden lodge vibes     Sun Moon Lake Itinerary (4 Days) Day 1 –  Afternoon: Arrive via bus to the (Shoe-is-he) Shuishe Pier area Check in + light walk along the Shuishe Lakeside Trail (flat, peaceful) Evening: Early dinner of local fish and mountain vegetables at Full House Resort Restaurant or a local restaurant nearby. Sunset viewing from Wenwu Temple stairs (lit up at night) local tea tasting at Sun Moon Lake Antique Assam Tea Farm     Day 2 – Biking the Lake & Culture Morning: Rent an e-bike or mountain bike and ride the Sun Moon Lake Cycle Route — voted one of the top cycling paths globally Stop at: Ci'en Pagoda, Xiangshan Visitor Center, and (May-he) Meihe Garden Full loop is ~29km; consider a half-loop if you're feeling leisurely. There are places where you need to dismount and walk it. Some days you may not be able to go the full distance around, so ask. Afternoon: Take the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway (cable car) to the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village Learn about the Thao, spelled T-H-A-O) and other cultural groups Optional: garden strolls Return via cable car or ferry Evening: Relaxing soak at your hotel's onsen-style hot springs Dinner at The Lalu's Moon Pavilion Restaurant for lakeside fine dining (worth it solo!)     Day 3 – Hiking + Temples Morning: Hike the Maolan Mountain Trail or Tsen Pagoda Trail for panoramic lake views and forest immersion Easy to moderate; solo-safe and well-marked Afternoon: Visit Xuanzang Temple – peaceful with Buddhist relics Snack on local tea eggs and tofu pudding from lakeside stalls Evening: Night market (seasonal, usually in Shuishe or Ita Thao area) – solo-friendly and fun for grazing Optional: Boat cruise at dusk (join a group tour or private hire)     Day 4 – Tea + Departure Optional walk in Xiangshan Forest Trail for one last quiet moment    Safety, Solo Vibes & Tips Taiwan is ranked one of the safest destinations for solo female travelers (source: Global Peace Index) English signage is plentiful in Sun Moon Lake; locals are helpful but modest Google Translate,  and Pleco app help with communication. I used the Line app for texting here. Public bathrooms are clean and common Tap water is not typically drunk directly — use filtered water   Sun Moon Lake Official Website Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village Lesson Learned: Don't schedule everything on Day 1   Leave several ideas for another day. Don't pack everything in right away.  I tried to do that in Paris, but it did not work. I did return and enjoyed the visit much more that time. Imagine you'll be back if you like the destination. Travel Tip: Trust your gut instincts, if unsure, pivot fast.   If you walk into a restaurant, store, or even your hotel and it does not look right, you can trust your gut. Consider a pivot to plan B.

Welcome to Episode 260328 of the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain bike culture and idiocy crash together like two bros going for the same gap without checking their speed. If you came here for hot tips on how to shred harder, don't worry, you'll probably leave dumber than when you clicked. This week, our special guests are Dillon Butcher (alleged trail wizard, possible cult leader) and Cole Nichol (not Cole Trickle, but we keep pretending anyway), straight from the Pacific Northwest where the dirt's as loamy as our brains are mushy. They dive into their New World Disorder-inspired video project and explain how to build giant jumps, scare yourself, and survive digging for Rampage riders without peeing your pants. Topics include: Trail guinea pigging: Why sending a freshly built monster jump is more terrifying than sharing a bathroom stall at Maverick. Mountain bike genres: Is there actually a war between “trail dads” and “freeride degenerates,” or did we invent that? Biking in Vancouver Island vs Utah: More trees, fewer crackheads (allegedly). Building jumps for your own glory and why kids will always poach your lines before you do a backflip. Sordid tales from Rampage dig crews, plus existential questions about penis size and Metallica vs Megadeth that definitely should not be public. Additional random nonsense about single-named rappers, beer-fueled philosophical debates, and why most of us probably need therapy. Things get even more sideways when we try to remember which sponsor still talks to us, plug a questionable pair of pants, and force the guests to answer ridiculous Instagram questions. By the end, you'll know about the Reza Trails jam, how to get better at jumping (pro tip: don't listen to us), and why the second hour is somehow even more off-topic. Professionalism? None. Bad life advice? Guaranteed. Thorough research? Not even a little bit. If you want stories from people who dig, ride, and talk way too much about their toes, you're home.

They dig into the wildly amusing story of an alleged two-month suspension for Kaye and ponder what it would take in the modern era for such a disciplinary action. Then they get into some unsubstantiated rumors from Delhi, where the Hero Indian Open is punching as usual at DLF, including putting Akshay on the ropes. They react to news of wild dogs and snakes roaming the premises. There is a philosophical media chat about the expanded media coverage of the Masters, and if they're finding the right balance between doing too much and attempting to grow. Masters Fact of the Day goes into George Cobb, the little known architect who was the consulting design man for two decades in the postwar era. This leads to digressions about Nebraska basketball and Andy getting pulled over by a cop for traffic violations on a bicycle.
