my grandpa went to UM ann arbor from 1926-1930, may I peek in? (^_^)

[rainbowmoon]

hehe, of course! I'm a little disappointed, however. I saw you posted in the Michigan thread, and I was like OOH, maybe freemouse is relocating! But no, you aren't...so sad...:D

Hi! I wanted to know if you could give me info on where to shop for food in Grand Rapids (who has a good vegan selection) and info on any vegetarian restaurants? My boyfriend will be going to GR next weekend for a month and he needs some information!

I'd really appreciate it!
Thank you!

try this one

Have no fear atpeacewithin! I lived in Ypsi for some time and there are plenty of veg friendly places! I don't know if Cosmic Garden is still open on Washtenaw Ave. But they have good stuff (awesome yam fries!). Also in Ann Arbor check out Seva, the Earthen Jar and Blue Nile. Good luck in your move! :)

[buddadragon]

I say we all meet in G.R. sometime and have a Mich gathering! Go to the zoo or a Whitecaps game or something.

[strawberry]

Ah, that'd be fun. But AFTER August is over because then I will be back in the state! (I am in Vermont for the summer)

[zapmama27]

I'm game for the mich gathering. I live in Grand Haven, we could all get together this summer and hang out at north beach, potluck stlye, Theres an awesome playground there, and a giant dune in the backdrop for climbing. Or, we can chill at my crib, I have a nice playground outside my door and plenty of maple trees for shade. I think a potluck would be alot of fun wherever.

greyhoundgirl lives in mt. pleasant..she would come for sure

[zapmama27]

Try living in Grand Haven, most the people here have never even heard of Falafel or Tofu, and they think that vegetarians are people who eat fish and chicken, but not red meat!!

So who wants to potluck out at the Beach??!!! Lets say sunday the 20th of July @ 4:00, North Beach in Ferrysburg. All kids welcome, and the children are invited too.:) I have a 5 and almost 3 year old. Invite your friends and family to join, we'll have a vegan Feast!!

[buddadragon]

i might come if others want to...ill ask greyhoundgirl

[strawberry]

Jennivere, i am in Kentwood, but not for long, b/c i will be going to college at Hope (in Holland) next fall and at the moment I am in Vermont.

[UPVegan]

Hi guys...I'm new to the board, but have been lurking for awhile. I see all of you live downstate. I live in the U.P. near Marquette. You are all so far away, but it's nice to know there are other vegan's on this board from Michigan.

Take care!

Hey, I'm from Lansing but have relocated to a much MUCH more exciting town.
I know a few vegans and raw foodists in Michigan, though.
Any UP'ers out there? I get the worst cravings for pasties...
