While David's analysis does fail to paint a correct picture of GR, he does have the famous "west Michigan" mindset, the idea that it is a shielded vibrant utopia not connected with the rest of Michigan...quite laughable. To say that any city in Michigan is exempt from the crumbling economy on a macro level is nothing short of ignorance. For anyone that has traveled extensively across the US, visiting GR for the first time would be a disappointment, like many other cities it is a shell of its former self. Furthermore, many other cities of similar size across the US beat GR on every level of quality of living, not to mention that one all important thing: JOBS. As someone who has traveled extensively, it matters not where you say in Michigan you are from, it always brings a shriek to the person's face your talking to. In reality, Michigan has become a specter of ignorance for the rest of the country to laugh at...sadly.
