Grand Rapids, Michigan
This is the city that started out as a small fur trading town in what is known as the Grand River Valley, and became important in America's automobile industry. It is primarily known, however, as the furniture capital of the U.S. and it still hold on to that distinction as a major manufacturer of office furniture.
Today, it has expanded its resources to include many health care companies as well as being a center for Christian publishing. One will find many traces of the many Dutch and French immigrants who migrated to Grand Rapids. They've left their marks in the neighborhoods and on the city's look.

The music scene remains alive and well, producing many well known groups in both country and rock.
