Hee! That's fairly close to where I live; just a couple hours away (and in the US, of course). I thought it was pretty neat!!!

Yeah it's awesome when a whole community decides to show the big mouths of the press that the people usually know better.

So, have you ever been to Grand Rapids?

[seshats_prodigy]

Yeah, I've been! ^_^ It wasn't like we were travelling there, but we passed through on our way to another destination, and we stopped to eat lunch there. ^_^

[nina_nicky]

That's so cool. ^^

So, did you recognize anybody in the video?
