It does not really look anything like the Grand Haven that I knew 15 years ago (where are the people?). I lived kitty-corner from the Tip a Few bar On Clinton. I could not even get internet from AT N T on that street. Maybe it was the name🤭🤭

This was summer of 2020. The people were mostly in their homes locked down. GH took Covid pretty seriously. Idk what it was like elsewhere, but it was a creepy ghost town here. People were afraid to run into other people downtown. (To answer the question of "where are the people?!") Also, I've lived in the area since about 1990.. Aside from the new walking district downtown, and a bit more construction on the waterfront, it's not terribly different, is it? Some of the existing shops have changed ownership & specialty, of course. Curious if the lack of recognition is mostly in the first half of this video (downtown) or throughout?

I lived right across from the GH fountain and after a while of the every night playing junk music. It got really old. I moved away after 3 years

It’s a GoPro hero 5. Only problem for filming a long (10 mins+) in the summer is that it tends to overheat. Love the Muskegon/Grand Haven area - definitely worth checking out GRand Haven if you’re ever back in the area.

Some one from New York or Chicago city can’t believe this is a downtown..

Thinking of moving there as well. How do you like it?

Why are there no midrise or highrise buildings? Why dose all the buildings here in this area not exceed 5 stories high?

@@powerfulstrong5673 Might have something to do with the soil and where the water table is in this area, that the ground can only support up to so much weight safely without creating sinkholes. Texas soil is very, clay like. At least hree in the south it is.

@@tonyperez4713 Most of Texas is earthquake-free and very suitable to construct skyscrapers.

The video was taken early on a weekday morning during the 2020 pandemic, so that’s why no crowds. There’s normally more activity there. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks!, and you're welcome.😊

I live in Grand Haven. Usually there would be more people and during the Summer time there will typically be a good amount of people meanwhile never feeling overwhelmingly busy unless its Coast Guard Festival time. A lot of interesting and unique spots.

@@InfamousAustinT0 That's the time I always went to Grand Haven. Wall to wall people and wall to wall boats.

It is a really lovely place! 🌼

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’d love to visit Europe and experience the differences. 😁 Thanks for the comments!

Aloha! Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed watching. 🙂

My pleasure! Grand Haven really is a cool little place. I've loved visiting there and happy to share!

Thanks for the lovely comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁

​@@powerfulstrong5673 100+ years ago when this area was built, Plano was a very small farming town, so the 1-2 story buildings in the downtown area were normal for a town of it's size at the time. In the years since, Plano grew into a suburb to Dallas, with mostly strip shops and single-family homes. There are taller buildings on the other, newer side of town due to more recent business development.

@@walkingfiend2331 In the United States most newly built suburbs lack midrise and highrise buildings with a few exceptions such as Bankhead,Georgia and Bellevue,Washington.

@@walkingfiend2331 One thing I just don't understand why newly developed communities in the United States of America generally have zoning regulations which are very restrictive on the construction of taller buildings.
