Comment on John Ball Zoo by Mrs. B

Unfortunately, Deer Forest has not been cleaned up. Our family went there Memorial Day weekend, their opening weekend. We paid $7.50 each for the seven of us. It was the saddest thing we’ve ever seen. There are no walking paths…just dirt and weeds. The exhibits need paint and all the houses need roofs. There is even glass on the floor of one exhibit from a broken window. The walls of the smaller pens have chipped mortar and paint, even inside the pens with the animals. The pens are dirty and the animals look unhealthy and uncared for. Many of the exhibits are empty, particularly the ones that should have water in them. They are just filthy cement basins. The bleachers where they told stories are falling over and lawn chairs are just strewn about. Trees have been cut down in the center of the park and the deer have been moved to the back area. We were told it was so they could grown corn there, but it’s nothing but weeds and tree stumps. The train has been sold at auction. The playground area looks unsafe and dirty. The rides look like they have not been maintained in years. There are no concessions of any kind. We were told we could each play a round of miniature golf for free. The mini-golf area is rundown, full of weeds, and badly in need of paint. The golf greens are filthy with mud and leaves. Needless to say, we did not take them up on the offer. We now know why we were the only people in the park other than the workers. It was so very, very sad.

This is Lindsey Pompileo, owner of Cupcake Zoo. I was so excited to read this!! I’m so glad you enjoyed our cupcakes. We are currently selling individual cupcakes in various always changing flavors at Rio Coffee in the Radisson downtown Kalamazoo in mini and regular size. We are currently starting to explore other retail options and we will be in and out of the Kalamazoo Farmers Market all summer. In June we will start using the website to let our friends know where you can find our products.

Thanks for making my day extra sweet!!

Now why do want to try and insult me personally? Maybe you shouldn’t have a blog.

I’ve never been to Arby’s before, so I found this extremely informative!

Did you really just review popcorn and Pepsi?

Vito’s Pizza is pretty good I suggest to give them a try you most likely will enjoy their pizza.

Definitely. Or a Sugar Shack location down here. That would likely do well.

I know…last time I was in there, they had two flavors. My point was that I’d love to see a place like Molly’s Cupcakes that has dozens of different flavors at all times….

Of course, you know that Garden Gate has cupcakes. It’s not their only item, but is one of the things they are known for, and they likely figured they would diversify instead of just living on cupcakes. Still, an all dessert store here would do well.
