I found an old church on Leonard Street that is for sale, although it needs a little restoration. One cannot be discouraged just because the HVAC system and water heater are in the kitchen.
Locals of Grand Rapids know, we like to paint the town. Now, there is even more vibrancy to the city. Local artist Kevin Wolfrom's new mural, titled "Dreamchaser" is complete. The mural is located at 800 Ottawa in Grand Rapids.
Whenever I cross the 45th parallel, I kind of geek out. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's a reminder of how much there is to see out in the world. Maybe it's because the sign is a physical testament that I'm in new surroundings. Maybe it's Michigan pride coming through. Where can you get a decent picture next to a 45th parallel sign?
