God, I love Grand Rapids. What an excellent downtown. Parts of the city almost have an Ann Arbor feel too.

Grand Rapids looks great.  There are some funky, but nicely scaled buildings there.

How dare you put Grand Rapids and Lansing in the same thread.  Way to end on a bad note ColDayMan!  Although the last shot of Ditroit was nice.

I mean the parking lot behind the state capitol....right on the mall!  It's got to go.  I wonder what space belongs to Jenny from the block.

that last shot of downtown Detroit looks pretty good...you can imagine Detroit as a little Chicago there, with that recreational water traffic in front.

If Grand Rapids had that Lansing art deco skyscraper with the clock it would be perfect.  As it is those pix make GR look near perfect.  Nice to see some neighborghood shots, too.

The GR is hopping. I could have gone there many times but it was just out of the way from where I was going or leaving from.
