I love Grand Rapids!!!! That's my hometown, born & raised! They have always said that one day, Grand Rapids would become the largest city in the state. How things are dying in Detroit, this may come to life within the next few years. The city is simply beautiful, full of life. The city is "CLEAN" and they don't have people standing at every intersection begging for money! GO AHEAD GR!!! YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!! My family didn't want to me to move to Detroit, but I did because of my job. But, as soon as an opening comes in GR, "I'M OUT OF HERE!!!!"
