Wow it looks like a pretty decent city with a booming economy from what I see. Surprised there weren't any historic buildings in these shots here, Michigan is known for it's abundant history.
That is some beautiful historic architecture. Alberta should be jealous and in anger at the fact that we tore down much of our historic buildings in the downtowns (and area).
Very interesting. I never seen Grand Rapids like this before. A question, Grand Rapids is the city which is receiving the most development at the moment in Michigan ?
Also worth note is that the vast majority of Grand Rapid's major projects, this decade, have been financed by two or three uber-wealthy local families. GR is quite lucky to have the Devos and Van Andels. Without these two, GR's development would be much more the pace of something like a Lansing or Kalamazoo, to be honest.
