I went to Grand Rapids Michigan last summer.  It was a lot of fun.  It is about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan
Its is the second-largest city in Michigan, so it must have been quite fun!
We went to the John Ball Zoological Garden.  It is a really popular location and holds many unique animals
Nice, did you visit any historic furniture-manufacturing centers?
We did not.  But we went to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.  It had an amazing botanical garden
Did you go to any of the economically diverse areas in the city?
