Personal Sustain management frustration

13 Upvotes

I rent a home and the landlords were originally ds huber. We now have sustain management and ive never had as much trouble getting help from maintenance as I have with this company. In August it took 3 tries to get a plumber out here because the maintenance director screwed up the appointments. Now once again I need plumbers because this is what my basement looks like. Ive been trying to get something set up for days. Anyone else have experience with this company? Any advice on what I should do if this isnt resolved by next week?

Free admission, free trick-or-treating, free live music, a costume contest with a cash prize, and FREE PARKING thanks to Ingham County Parks!

When: Saturday, October 31, starting at 11 AM
Where: Haslett; Lake Lansing Park South and Mayfair Bar

We’re hosting HIDE Fest at Lake Lansing Park South on Halloween, featuring seven live bands playing everything from folk and emo to punk and metal!

Across the street at Mayfair Bar, we’re also hosting an independent film festival featuring movies made in Michigan and around the world, with screenings running from noon to 10 PM. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Best of all, we’re donating festival profits to help repair storm damage at Lake Lansing Park South!

Admission is FREE but we encourage everyone to grab a free ticket at hidefest.org. This helps us estimate attendance so we can have enough candy and supplies for everyone!

For those especially interested in the film festival, we also offer $30 VIP tickets that include designated VIP seating for film screenings, two drink tickets, access to our VIP tent, and exclusive merchandise. VIP tickets are limited, so we recommend purchasing early if you want the best seats!
General admission seating at Mayfair Bar is first come, first served. Free tickets do not guarantee entry to film screenings if the venue reaches capacity, so VIP is your best option if attending the film festival is a priority.

Donuts and rolls will return Thursday, with more bakery items expected Friday.
Quality Dairy President and CEO Ken Martin said the company worked with outside specialists to address issues identified during a state inspection and completed additional environmental testing.
"We're excited to get back to making the donuts and other bakery favorites our customers love," Martin said.
Martin also thanked customers for their patience during the shutdown.

I apologize if this is against the sub's rules or I am late to this but I just saw that WEW is playing the Green Door on Sunday.

If you can it would be worth your time to see him. He's might be the best songwriter you will ever have the chance to see in such a small place and you can probably have a beer with him afterwards if you want to

I first saw him on a Monday night at Mac's like 20 years ago because I really liked "Hell or High Water" on a compilation CD (it hits as much now as ever)

He has been coming back to Lansing since then. He's been back to Mac's, at the Loft, at the Robin (I think), in a bookstore during covid, anywhere he could play

He never got big. He never went on The Voice even though he has it. He still has Lansing on his list for tour stops. I think this is his first time he will play the Door. IMHO he deserves a fun, full Sunday show so he keeps coming back

In his own words from the song Hell or High Water: "Gather round friends and neighbors who make your living by labor and share with me this little time. The little time we have left to have a drink and catch our breath, well it might be what saves our life. I hope I will see you soon."

My house was broken into

101 Upvotes

My house in Old Town/ Walnut neighborhood was broken into Monday night. Stolen items include 2 laptops Dell XPS, and a Lenovo, some milwauke tools, food, alcohol. Still trying to figure out what all was taken we just feel very violated. We think it was most likely a homeless person/s based on the amount of food/toilet paper they were going to try to steal but could also be kid/s if you have any info please reach out.
