Grand Rapids is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan, and the largest city in West Michigan. It is located on the Grand River about 30 miles east of Lake Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 188,040. In 2010, the Grand Rapids metropolitan area had a population of 1,005,648, and the combined statistical area of Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland had a population of 1,321,557. Grand Rapids is the county seat of Kent County, Michigan.
A historic furniture-manufacturing center, Grand Rapids is still home to five of the world's leading office furniture companies, and is nicknamed Furniture City. Its more common modern nickname of River City refers to the landmark river for which it was named. The city and surrounding communities are economically diverse, based in the health care, information technology, automotive, aviation, and consumer goods manufacturing industries, among others.
Grand Rapids is the hometown of U.S. President Gerald Ford, who is buried with his wife Betty on the grounds of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in the city.
Rapids are sections of a river where the river bed has a relatively steep gradient, causing an increase in water velocity and turbulence. Rapids are hydrological features between a run (a smoothly flowing part of a stream) and a cascade. Rapids are characterised by the river becoming shallower with some rocks exposed above the flow surface. As flowing water splashes over and around the rocks, air bubbles become mixed in with it and portions of the surface acquire a white colour, forming what is called "whitewater". Rapids occur where the bed material is highly resistant to the erosive power of the stream in comparison with the bed downstream of the rapids. Very young streams flowing across solid rock may be rapids for much of their length.
Rapids are categorized in classes, generally running from I to VI. A Class 5 rapid may be categorized as Class 5.1-5.9. While class I rapids are easy to negotiate and require no maneuvering, class VI rapids pose threat to life with little or no chance for rescue.

Grand Rapids is home to many unique destination neighborhoods. Experience Grand Rapids highlights what makes each of them different. This was to be the first of a series, however after its release questions surfaced about the level of diversity in the video. Given the nature of the comments we reached out to our community partners, including members of our Board of Directors and our Diversity & Inclusion Committee, and made the decision to delay further video releases until we could thoroughly review the situation. As an organization, we continue to work on our cultural competency and will reflect that in all further efforts.

Grand Rapids, MI is the second largest city in the state of Michigan. Located in the western part of the Lower Peninsula, Grand Rapids has a lot to offer from its many parks (including Comstock Riverside Park featured at the end of the video) to many museums including the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, great views of the city from the Grand River (the largest river in Michigan), and also one of Frank Lloyd Wright's houses he designed, the Meyer May House. Although the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was being remodeled when this video was recorded, I was able to check out the burial spot for both former President Ford and former First Lady Betty Ford.
