We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV.
Jim Cox sat down with us to tell the story of his family's history in Grand Rapids while he was visiting 616 Development's new project 616 Lofts at the Kendall. Cox's family moved to Grand Rapids around 1850. He talks about how his family has seen the city grow and change throughout the years, and what he sees in the next 10 years for our city.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
