Grand Rapids from up high

Uploaded by grandrapids on Aug 1, 2008
Shots from the roof of Spectrum Health -Downtown(Butterworth Hospital) and from the roof of the JW Marriott hotel.
The first few shots show damage from the Aeromed helicopter crash on top of Butterworth.
Next are some shots from the helicopter landing pad on top of the JW Mariott.
The last shot is one of my all time favorite views of Grand Rapids.

It's a shame the Grand River is always a lovely shade of brown......Yes, I live here and enjoyed that ArtPrize last summer, but that poor river....

Yeah, downtown GR is getting bigger and better, especially around Butterworth Spectrum Campus, Man i can hardly recognize Michigan Street. LOL!!!

I agree with SunBuddha's comment. Definitely a big downtown for a city it's size. It doesn't have a lot of really tall buildings, but it has a lot of modern buildings that are more than just a few stories. Nice views.

Actually there is now an LGBT club right downtown on Division Street called Rumors Nightclub. :D

Thanks for the heads up ;-)

Grand Rapids has changed a lot since then!
Probably over 5 years ago, the city must have decided to change, cause they redid and built a lot of things. Downtown is really nice, it has shops, restaurants, clubs, and many bars.
It has mixed races, so it's not just white people there. Not any blue collar type of people go there. Though downtown is more for young people at night. I don't know if it's for gay people though, it's not like they're hicks and Christians everywhere who will judge you.

Actually, GR isn't a very good place to move back, the economy is worser, couple of my friends just recently moved out of there this past spring after couldn't find no other job for over a year after laid off. So its nothing new.
I stay in Chicago now for about 4 years but mostly low-incoming people including my friend did move from Chicago to Iowa like crazy because of lack of jobs in Chicago area so I guess you are right about Iowa have more jobs.
