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.
The Rapidian's story fort made an appearance at Local First's annual Street Party in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, June 7. Greg Hopping is a fan of downtown Grand Rapids. He's been living in the area since he was 7 years old, and in this video he recalls his childhood memories of coming downtown to shop- and tells us what he and his wife love to do when they visit downtown now.
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.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
