Renting a cheap apartment in Grand Rapids, MI

Grand Rapids is a city with a lot of spunk. Earlier this year, Grand Rapids landed on a list of “dying” cities created by a major news magazine. A group of creative residents got together 5,000 locals to fight back. They put together a lip dub to Don McLean’s song “American Pie,” a video that takes viewers on a tour of the city, from downtown parks to its bridges over the Grand River, and includes local firefighters, policemen and the city council. It’s an inspiring way to get to know the river city, which has been anchored by furniture building companies. U.S. President Gerald Ford hailed from Grand Rapids.
