Review of Grand Rapids, Michigan


Places to go ..Things to do ..
Star Rating - 5/12/2009
Well it's the sign of the times..and West Michigan is hurting. Actually, the whole state is hurting. I am a mother and it is extremely difficult to find things to do for free in this area. Grand Rapids is owned by the VanAndels', Devos's and the Meijers..what do I mean by this..well these powerful, very wealthy families own overy venue in Grand Rapids and charge high prices for different events that take place within the city. It is impossible to take your family anywhere without spending over $100. Sooo we spend a lot of time at home..but my children are "tweens" and being home all the time with the family is "BORING".
If you move here or visit..you might need to take out a loan just to cover your "family time" out on the town!!

ps..sorry for any grammar or spelling errors ..it's late and I am to tired to proof read!! =0)
