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. The Rapidian created a special story fort for SiTE:LAB's Preview Party on Tuesday, September 23, at The Morton. The ticketed event was a benefit, with all proceeds going to The Rapidian. While there, we captured many memories of the building we were in, the historic Morton Hotel.
Evelyn Searl remembers attending a ball created for young adults in Grand Rapids at The Morton Hotel. As a young interior designer working downtown, she would also often meet friends at the restaurant after work, and is excited to see The Morton restore the building's former glory.
STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV. You can see all the Story Matters videos archived at therapidian.org/placematters/story.
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.
