grand rapids

A midsize city in West Michigan that loves the arts. ArtPrize, the largest public art contest in the world started here 3 years ago. Lots of great theater, improvisation, and music . It's one of the few towns with a fish ladder so lots of fisherman too. Plus it's only 45 minutes from some of the most amazing beaches in the country. Incredible camping, hiking and backpacking too because of the North Country trail.
