From the lovely historic district of Heritage Hill to the ultra-modern Van Andel Arena. From the majestic Frederik Meijer Gardens to the state-of-the-art IMAX Theatre at Celebration! Village. From classic, Midwestern-style steaks to eclectic tapas and international specialties. Indeed, Grand Rapids is a study in contrasts, a fascinating example of how a city can embrace tradition yet keep its eye set on tomorrow. An intrepid revitalization program has spurred continued development of the downtown area, with pockets of fabulous restaurants and chic nightspots springing up at a staggering rate - many of them in weathered brick structures whose exposed ductwork and hardwood floors yield a certain 19th century charm. Visit the B.O.B. (the Big Old Building), an old warehouse that's been converted into an enormous dining-nightlife-entertainment complex. Stop by the cozy little suburbs and neighborhoods: Eastown, East Fulton, Gaslight Village, Lowell, and Rockford. You'll quickly see why the Grand Rapids area is becoming Michigan's place to be and see.
Did you know?
When M.R. Bissel started having allergy problems from all the straw on the floor of his china shop in Grand Rapids, what did he do? Since the year was 1876, you might think he grabbed a broom and swept the offensive material out the door. But in fact, Mr. Bissel invented a machine to suck the straw and dust up off the floor - in other words, the first vacuum cleaner!
