I lived in downtown Grand Rapids until a few weeks ago and I must say, you have captured a perfect winter night walk around the city! Having lived here for most of my life, I was around during the economic depression that hit most of the major cities, and Grand Rapids was hit hard. So many empty buildings and lots and disrepair. But now, we have revitalized better than ever! As a long time resident I want to say thank you. You have captured the true beauty of this great city.
That is so kind of you. We love Grand Rapids and the downtown area is so alive and interesting with River and buildings around it. We wanted to capture a simple night walking around and showcase the beauty of the city. Thanks for watching, cheers! ✨
Great vid. That panoramic view from the blue bridge was cool. It'll even look better in a few years when they complete that riverside amphitheater. I forget about the authenticity and growth of our downtown. I'm 55 and grew up in the suburbs most of my life. I haven't been downtown in awhile but this make me want to revisit it.
Grand Rapids is such a neat town with a vibrant downtown. The amphitheater and plans they have are really exciting for the community. It was a beautiful walk on a beautiful night. Thanks for watching!
It's a wonderful city that continues to grow. Love the different things they are doing over there and also all of the activities and events. It feels so alive and with so many different choices!
Definitely need some light rail or something I live in the suburb of Wyoming close to Byron centers city limits and goin downtown for an event or anything means taking my car and when there’s a huge event everyone else has the same plans and drving parking etc it a absolute disaster, it’s very stressful and discourages me from visiting downtown to try out all the awesome shops and bars down Monroe….also gotta get over to founders some day 😝
It'll be interesting to see how Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas continue to grow. There is so much going on that it seems like it will only continue to grow. Definitely see how a light rail or something similar would be beneficial. Cheers!
I was down there this past summer for a concert and again for a meeting. Spent the evenings walking downtown without a problem. Nice, connected downtown and everything is walkable and well lit. I think you'll be just fine!
I live in Chicago, but strongly considering a move. Most of my extended family in Nashville, but I have no desire to go south. Is Grand Rapids the answer?
Grand Rapids is a beautiful city with so much going on. We love to visit. Michigan, especially as you get into Northern Michigan is just amazing! Sounds like you might be on to something!
When I moved up this way someone once told me - how lucky are we to live where other people vacation? That sounds dreamy in theory but of course it's not all rainbows. Every place has a pro and con list of course. Best.
Correct, this video was filmed in 2022. Looks like the Blue Bridge closed at night in June 2023. Grand Rapids is a wonderful and beautiful town. Hope they can continue growing in a positive direction.
Hello! I've never felt unsafe in Grand Rapids. It's a beautiful city with so much to do. You should feel very safe and welcome here! Thanks for watching!

I am possibly going to Grand Rapids for a concert..how dangerous is the city? Mugging etc?
I was down there this past summer for a concert and again for a meeting. Spent the evenings walking downtown without a problem. Nice, connected downtown and everything is walkable and well lit. I think you'll be just fine!
@@natureharmonytv thanks!
As someone who has lived in Grand Rapids today a whole life I will tell you you should be fine

@@natureharmonytv yeah. We visit western MI a ton for vacations or long weekends. Full time living is a different question, but we always enjoy it

Back when the blue bridge was open to public at night

@@natureharmonytvGrand Rapids isn’t a beautiful town lol just the downtown area but outside of that it’s crap
Was just there last week. Really enjoyed ourselves both downtown and outside of downtown.
Wow what time of day?? Its gorgeous but a ghost Town
Around 7:30 pm. It was a weekday and pretty quiet for sure.
nice❤❤❤
Looks like London
Both are beautiful cities!
Is this city safe? Random shooting?
Hello! I've never felt unsafe in Grand Rapids. It's a beautiful city with so much to do. You should feel very safe and welcome here! Thanks for watching!
I’m going to use this video tonight to go to sleep. Gosh I miss my city. 🏙️ can’t wait to move back in a couple yrs.
It's absolutely beautiful. We LOVE Grand Rapids. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
