Grand Rapids Michigan pictures

[Israelrising]

I dont kno whose putting up these smoke screen video about GR or whut ethnicity u r, but i'm AA and currently live in GR and i have been taunted and discriminated on and deprived access here more than any other city that I've live in. GR is a highly segregated city. All festivals, special events, arenas events, coffee shops, theaters, parades, colleges r all mainly caucasian, and a lot of them show they dont welcome AA. Since the have treated me like that bcuz of my color the feeln is mutual.

[grandrapids]

@Israelrising Im putting up these videos, I love the Grand Rapids area.

Im sorry it isnt working out for you.

The skyline has changed a lot since this video. I don't care for the rather dum de dum music.

"I didn't mean to kill nobody," Burnside later said of the murder. "I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord."

He served 3-6 months in prison for murder, then was released for to bring in his crop.

A good man, nevertheless.

What all is in that city, like is it a major city with all kinds of restraunts and stores and does it have a mall with like nice stores or is it a medium city with limited buisness, please reply back-

[edthespartan]

GR is medium sized w/ a lot of big-city appeal. Its minor league teams are farm clubs for the Detroit Redwings and Tigers; 50 Cent is shooting a movie here; Val Kilmer shot one in '08; we draw acts inc. The Rolling Stones, The Who & The Police; we have an awesome event called Art Prize that's not to be missed; Pres. Ford, Anthony (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Keidis & Astronaut Roger B Chaffee are from here; we've got 6 microbreweries & we're :45 from Holland/Grand Haven State Parks on Lake MI.

[badgerattoadhall]

i was thinking of moving to grand rapids, what part of town should I move too, I am looking for a nice working middle class feel not crime infested neighborhoods, or snobby linens-n-things neighborhoods please. What parts of town should I avoid?

[alvinbest]

plainfield township

[generalbullmoose]

South D!

[generalbullmoose]

To avoid, I mean.

[yanoyaluvme132]

Grand rapids is great but if you do move, move into ada thats middle class and its in the suburbs so its like 20 minutes with heavy traffic to get to grand rapids

its amazing

[fowlerchild]
