Uncovering Grand Rapids’ History on the Westside
Driving through and around Grand Rapids, you find so much construction. Our city is growing, big time, with office, theater, housing projects going up all over. And, with all the new building up, there are many neighborhoods uncovering, and rehabbing. It's amazing what you'll find.
As I was driving down West Leonard Saturday on the may to broadcast at Meiras Shoes, and was stopped at a light. I noticed construction going on to my left, looked over and...WOW! Amazing!
Adjacent to the new construction nextdoor, they had decided to rehab the building. After removing the wood from the front, look what they found.
In researching the history of the building, I found a piece on the Fox 17 website. It's so cool to find this and the history behind it. Read all about it here!
