Ever been to Grand Rapids in Michigan? I really want to sometime.
No but I want to visit one day. It is the 2nd largest city in Michigan.
Damn it must be pretty big, do you know the population?
Sure do. As of 2010 the city had a population of 188,040. The metro area had 1,005,648.
That's a ton of people! I never knew it was that big!
Sure, it is often referred to as "Furniture City" due to many furniture companies being there.
Like the HQ for these furniture companies are located here?
That's correct. Another common nickname is "River City" due to the river for which it was named.
These seem like pretty basic nicknames haha.
Hah, yeah I guess so. President Gerald Ford is buried there with his wife Betty. There is a presidential museum for him there.
