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 was collecting our community's stories at the Movies in the Park in Ah Nab Awen Park on July 11. Matt Lytle sat down to talk to us about what he enjoys doing in Grand Rapids, and how he's seen the city change over the years. He tells us the story of when he was at the Reptile House in perhaps its last night, and says he has seen the bar and restaurant scene in Grand Rapids boom since then. He and his wife now enjoy visiting places like Brewery Vivant, Winchester and The Meanwhile- thanks to the changes he's seen happen in our city in past years.
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.
