2. A taste of home is heading to those serving overseas thanks to Girl Scout Troop 4831 in Grand Haven by sending them cookies.
Boxes of Girl Scout cookies were loaded up at the American Legion Post 28 in Grand Haven on Tuesday night, before they make their way to active duty military members aboard the U.S.S. Alabama. It's all part of the Girl Scout's Hometown Heroes Project, donating any unsold boxes of cookies instead of returning them.
The American Legion is also donating 200 boxes on their own dime.
The Girl Scouts involved also decorated cards and folded flags with a prayer to go along with the treats.
3. With a new construction project set to break ground in downtown Grand Rapids this spring, there will be a lot of changes to the city's parking situation.
The Studio C Park Development will include a movie theater and a hotel at the corner of Cherry and Ionia. Construction equipment will move into the parking lots behind Van Andel Arena, known as Areas 4 and 5, which will shut down in March and April.
During that time city officials encourage people to use their parking app to see which spaces are available, and for how much.
Construction is expected to last 18 months, but once it's finished there will be 900 new parking spaces.

As part of the deal, McDonald's has also agreed to meet with nutrition guidelines set by Disney, which focuses on limiting calories, salt, and sugar while including more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in its meals.
