Mayor to host interactive show tonight at 5pm on GRTV, The Rapidian

Last month, we simulcast City Connection on The Rapidian for the first time. The live call-in show, now in its 19th year, is currently hosted by Grand Rapids mayor George Heartwell and is an opportunity for Grand Rapidians to talk with our mayor about important city issues. 

Last month's experiment  resulted in a lively conversation, with many questions originating from the Rapidian comment thread. It worked so well, in fact, that we plan to do this every month. Tonight is the night for January. Leave your question for the mayor in the comments below (or email cityconnection@grcmc.org, tweet @GRTVaccess,  or leave a Facebook comment. Whateva), and tune in at 5 p.m. to hear him respond to you live on GRTV’s Livewire (channel 25 on Comcast) and streaming right here on this very page.

Some potential hot topics to get your juices flowing:

• The new MyGRcity311 iPhone app for reporting city issues
• Uptown: Revitalization or gentrification?

And while you are waiting for this month’s episode to start, go ahead and watch last month’s over here. Oh, and here are all the episodes from last year or so.

See you back here at Five!
