I am very happy to see Grand Rapids doing very well with its redevelopment efforts. It is awesome to see one city in Michigan doing great which is in very sharp contrast to Detroit, Flint, and Saginaw which are firmly in the tight clutches of urban decline and bankruptcy. Grand Rapids looks like a very beautiful city with some cutting edge, modernist architecture with a lot of greenery. I love the red colored asphalt streets, now that is unique.
