a few more thing to add to the Grand Rapids list

11) the streets are so narrow and people park on either side so when you are going down the road and someone is coming the opposite direction someone has to pull to the side to let the other through

12) People here LOVE festivals, there is a festival every weekend (Beer festival, Cherry festival, international art festival, i could go on and on) lol i am watching a commercial for the Arcadia Creek festival right now

13) People here also LOVE yard/garage sales. Monday through Sunday you can visit yard sales all through my neighborhood.

more to come as i find the oddities and wonders of grand rapids
