Grand Rapids - A City on the Move

[@neilwilks8640]

That log in the grand river has been there for years😂

[@TampaAerialMedia]

is that what that is. I was wondering about that if it was just a stuck log or something permanent for decoration.

[@neilwilks8640]

TampaAerialMedia not really sure myself, I just know it’s been there for at least 15 plus years. Also it’s not well known but you can actually bungee jump off the Varnum building for a thousand dollars.

[@zuffin1864]

how does it stay there, what the heck haha

[@adrianhudson9120]

Tree lodged behind the dam. Some small ones make it over. Gotta watch out while wading in the river right there.

[@rackmaster1984]

Those logs get knocked over every year and replaced by different ones each spring when the river floods. I know of at least 15+ trees that have been hung up there in the last 7-8yrs.

[@gsldragon]

My first trip to Grand Rapids was in 2011, when my company sent me to do conveyor belting work at Kellogg's on 28th Street. I was amazed at how much life was put into this city. The first place I ate was at Hop Cat, next to the Van, then on to Founders Brewing Company. After my first visit, Kellogg's was so pleased with my work, I became a regular visitor, now going on 12 years. I've had a lot of great experiences here, went to great restaurants, met very nice people, stayed at a couple great hotels, this city has everything I could ever want, better than living in Chicago (I actually live in Addison, which is a wonderful village). I love making the trips up there so much, I am seriously considering moving there, and hope to convince my job to set up a branch in GR, where I hope to finish my career. If this isn't an option, there are plenty of companies in my field I can go to. I've considered 3 areas to live so far: Walker, Comstock Park, and as north as Rockford. I love to live in a neighborhood where it's very dog-friendly, my wife and I have a 4-year-old pug, and downtown is at the very least a short drive away. There were a few Midwestern cities I considered moving to, but with the great restaurants and nearby beaches on Lake Michigan, I had to go with GR. It's where I was born to live in.

[@donguapo7862]

I used to go there because I had friends at grand valley university back I the early 2000's and just recently came back for a show in 2022 loved the city then and love it now I about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Detroit and its between GR and Ann Arbor for my favorite cities in Michigan. Palio's Italian restaurant on the edge of downtown GR is amazing

[@travis6787]

GR: Not too big, not too small. Winter is usually snowy snowy snowy, so invest in a snow blower if you have a fair size driveway. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year: the brisk chill in the air, the apples, the colors. The hardest time of year is March-May, as it is generally snowy and in the 30s one day, sunny and 60s the next, and rainy and in the 40s the following day. A time when you are begging for those calm 70s and 80s days so you can just enjoy that warm sun. Yes I am kinda tired of the snow, but I do like seasons, which this region 100% has. Also should mention the 2 fantastic malls; Rivertown and Woodland (Centerpointe is ok).

[@mindakahn9964]

travis Centerpointe is an amazing discount hub, as compared to the blight on the landscape that it used to be. A place where you went to the PO or the Sec of State. Walking? Never I was always afraid of attack. Unfortunately they will lose a few companies because of this pandemic. There will be others.

[@travis6787]

I've lived in GR for the last 7 years. My parents and grandparents lived here for several years when they were young adults as well. Grand Rapids is DEFINITELY a city on the move! The major downsides (as with most midwest cities) are the LONG, COLD winters and the terrible roads (seriously, watch out for potholes). GR is especially bad when it comes to roads. Overall, however, I would say that GR is one of the best places to live in the Midwest.

[@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia]

Agree

[@justinb6379]

Yes the roads are bad agree, but the roads in the Midwest are very plentiful. I currently live in SC and the road structure sucks . It feels like NY City traffic because no road or highway options like the Midwest.
