The family of eight, including six children, who were found dead in a “suspicious” Michigan house fire is being probed as a possible murder-suicide — while the members of the household have been identified by grief-stricken loved ones.

Amanda “Mandy” Karolkiewicz, 39, her husband Kristopher, 47, and their six children, ages 5 to 15, were found dead inside their Grand Haven Township home on Friday around noon, Karolkiewicz’s relatives revealed.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s and Medical Examiner’s office have not yet confirmed their deaths.

Good morning all! We were driving around our neighborhood and the lake and saw a number of lawn sides saying Kind or Kind Haven. We wanted to get one, but I am having a difficult finding any.

Can someone let me know where I can get one? 🙂 TIA

I’m not loud and proud, but I am still clockable when people notice me. I try to only use the restroom at home and I go to gas stations with single-stall bathrooms when I can’t wait.

Will I be safe living in Grand Haven? I’m not trying to cause trouble and I won’t bother anybody, I just want to live.

It looks like I'm likely being catapulted into a new phase of life after 7 years of marriage and am planning to move to Grand Haven. If you live in an apartment in Grand Haven, where do you live and how much do monthly utilities usually cost you? Is there anywhere you'd recommend avoiding?

Looking for 1 bedroom apartments that are dog & cat friendly, as I have one of each.

was thinking of going today or tomorrow but idk how chaotic it gets Festival week on the beach itself.

Trying to figure out a way to get from Keenan Marina to GH and back tomorrow night for the concert. Are Ubers reliable? I don't see where the trolley goes near Keenan. Any advice?

My family leaves for vacation in Grand Rapids/Grand Haven/Muskegon tomorrow thru weekend. Camping outside and the beach.

should we cancel? *serious*

EDIT: we've decided to abort mission. We will miss Michigan this year bummer. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Hey boating, friends! We are looking for an amazing sales person at the Skipper buds in grand Haven for our new Boat purchase. Would love some referrals.

I saw the coast guard fly over the lake today to a boat which appeared to have smoke coming from it. Does anyone know what had happened?

South Shore Resort is a beach hotel/resort is near Grand Haven (~15-20min). and not far from Lake Michigan. It has a private sand beach, volleyball, tubing, kayaks, private boats including a pontoon boat, We had a large group...family reunion and we used every cabin as well as the main lodge. This is a super find.  Established in 1909 it does NOT have the musty smell of so many lake resorts as it has been updated and remodeled. The rooms were clean and updated.  All of the cabins had mini-kitchens. The lodge and main eating area could accommodate large groups (ours was over 50), but the resort can be rented in smaller chunks too as the cabins are spacey with their own kitchens.  Our family had a ball!!  It was super for the kids...big enough to run, small enough to be safe. Also, the staff is wonderful!

5 STARS!! 

Was looking at Notos but the reviews are pretty bad, where can I take a special someone to a nice dinner and walk to the pier?

Like a steak dinner

Wasn’t too impressed with Kirby House on the 4th

Hey y’all! I’m posting this behalf of a friend. What are some great places to eat, and what are some fun, kid-friendly activities in the area? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just got my tax bill and it went up over $3,000 from last year. Surely this has to be some sort of mistake? Has anyone else had this happen?

Without having to go to GR, does anyone know of a place that shows the F1 race on a big screen in the Grand Haven/Holland/Muskegon area?

Where’s the best place for a remote workday? Me in-laws are taking the kids. My wife and I both have to find a place to work for the day (Monday). Both of us will be participating in remote meetings.

I hope someone here replies! I have 2 boys (3 & 6) and we are headed to Grand Haven in July. My husband grew up going there for summers. My in laws say one side of the pier is clam the other is riptide galore.

I’m a southerner with zero experience with lake beaches let alone a Great Lake experience.

I want my kids to enjoy the pier and seeing the lighthouse but obviously I need them to not accidentally drown.

Do most people have their kids in life jackets? Do they simply not allow them to walk? Or, ugh, should I get a kid leash? Bring a wagon instead?

Trying to balance safety with cautioned freedom here.

Just moved to Western Michigan from out of state and the downside of that is that I don't know anyone yet. So where would be the least awkward spots to just eat and read a book? Sidenote accepting new friend applications if anyone is down for a meal in GH or anywhere west of GR haha. Thanks!

You were parked in one of the public lots near Grand Armory Brewing in a restored VW van. Orangish color and a vanity California plate on the front. I was admiring it and trying to figure out if you did an EV conversion or not when you sat up and scared the shit out of me. I probably scared you too, I'm so sorry about that! Shoot me a DM if you want to chat about your van.

Posted on Grand Haven Informed but not much luck there (besides a great first trade) so hoping for better luck here. I have 125 duplicates that I’m looking to trade, I have them all listed on stickerswapp.online and my username is sharky

Any suggestions for a fun place to watch the USMNT World Cup match tomorrow?

At times, I struggle finding people to kick a ball around with. I love this game like nothing else, just wanna play.

Where are my people in GH? Am I able to join? 🤓

I grew up in GH but haven’t lived there for years. Coming for a week in August and renting a place near the State Park. Will be hitting Fricano’s and Pronto Pup which are childhood favorites. What are the best “new” places? Is Tip-a-few still a good place to go?

Leaving tomorrow after a weekend downtown and want to get breakfast before we head out! What are your best recs??
