The 2006-07 Grand Rapids Magazine
City Guide is your ultimate sourcebook for fun in
the city!
A lot has changed in GR since 1980,
not the least of which is Grand Rapids Magazine’s
City Guide. City Guide was born in 1980 as "From
the Editors of Grand Rapids Magazine: 1980-81 Bestway’s
Apartment and Condominium Report.” In 1981,
that title was shortened to "Newcomer's Guide." We
settled on “City Guide” in 1983.
In 2005, we expanded this annual mid-summer
supplement to fill the entire July issue with resources
on the
arts, entertainment, recreation, dining — the
sights, sounds, flavors and personalities that make
this town unique.
Also included is a look at the ties
that bind Michigan’s
second city to either Motown or Chi-town, an exploration
of the Grand River as inspiration for artists creating
public works of art in the city, an update on the
urban living trend currently sweeping downtown, and
a humorous look at the GR dating scene — written
by our happily married humor columnist, Dwight Hamilton.
The complete list of “Best of GR” readers’ poll
winners in 100 categories and two special 2-for-1
dining coupons will have you scouring the city for
new places to explore this month and all year long.
But perhaps the most valuable piece
of information in this year’s guide is our exclusive Metro
Rankings, a compilation of statistics covering 36
cities, townships and villages, 29 area school districts
and the 97 taxing units where they intersect. Staff
writer Curt Wozniak’s feature on the state
of regionalism in West Michigan goes beyond the numbers.
