The purpose of this page is to brag up my wonderful city, Grand Rapids, Michigan (and also this great state as well).   Grand Rapids is, in my opinion, the best place on this earth to live.  I feel this way for many reasons.  The city is big enough that it has everything you could want in a town, and yet still small enough that is doesn't have the "major" big city problems.  We experience the full range of seasons here, with perfect summers and breathtaking winters, gorgeous fall foliage and unbelievable springs.  But enough of my gushing about how great it is here, check it out for yourself.  Of course it would be great to have you visit, but if that's not practical, I have provided my favorite Grand Rapids and Michigan links below to help you discover this great area!
