Lifelong resident of GR here. That was great to watch, I never knew of Max's South Beach Hideaway before. Fantastic overview of my city...it's funny you mentioned the Pantlind Hotel as a movie set because it actually was for a movie called, "The Steam Experiment", starring Val Kilmer and Armand Assante. There was about a 4 year period where Hollywood used Grand Rapids as a backdrop for many movies. "30 Minutes Or Less", "The End Of The Tour" and a few movies by 50 Cent.

Great Video!

Now Grand Rapids is known for the most alcoholics in the country and I don't know how that can be a good thing

And now they're going to destroy the river and redo it all Grand Rapids has gone downhill since I've been born and I'm 50 years old been here all my life
