It's amazing how little there seems to be interaction between Detroit and Grand Rapids. When we look West, we tend to think of Chicago instead of Grand Rapids. Not that I have anything against Chicago, but I feel we should promote tourism from Detroit to Grand Rapids. I think that Grand Rapids has done a good job with their downtown; coffee shops, art gallaries, musuems, etc. I just wish that there was more exchange between Metro Detroit and Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids' Metro area is 775,000...not too small. Perhaps a bullet train between the two cities might increase interaction between the two cities. What are people's thoughts? Should Metro Detroit, with half the state's population, try to bolster Grand Rapids status and increase cultural, economic, and social interaction?
