Completely uptight, lack of diversity and boring. Nothing but chain restaurant hell. Completely devoid of colleges and universities. Bland Rapids is no destination. Ignorance and stupidity abound. Bland Rapids is the epitome of ignorant and bigoted midwestern ideology.

I used to live in Grand Rapids, had to move away for college. I miss this city so much. It has everything that you could want. It is safe, reasonably priced, some of the nicest people in the world live and work in this city. There is so much excellent night life, McFaddens, MoJo's, BOB, and many more. Also great dining in downtown. There are ...

During Fall Foliage - Grand Rapids a great place to start or finish your trip at.

My family had a great time here. People are a lot more friendly in the mid west than where we are from (East Coast).

I had the opportunity to travel to Grand Rapids recently t meet and visit my fiancee's extended family. I found the city to be clean and the people friendly. We stayed at the Hampton Inn - which was, well, a Hampton Inn. One of the most memorable things about the trip, was our ride across Lake Michigan on the Lake Express. What beautiful ...

The best place to visit for a family trip. Compare it to detroit or lansing and it's heaven. Downtown is very high class and can include many great resturants and entertainment along the lovely Grand River. Also my favorite part is the cascade area. It is the cutest town and 28th street has so many great resturants on one street! I believe ...

I lived in GR during college and found some things to love and hate. First, the arts & entertainment scene is excellent. There are two independent and several mainstream movie theaters and a lot of great bands from any genre of music are always playing. Tickets for these events are cheaper than other places I've lived. The bars are also ...
