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 story fort was at Local First's annual Street Party in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, June 7. There we met newlywed couple Theresa and Eric Graf, who are experiencing their first summer in downtown Grand Rapids. Self-described foodies, they love seeking out new restaurants and craft beers within walking distance of their downtown apartment. They also remember their experiences with the Creston neighborhood's Art Battle and cite favorite breweries Founders and Brewery Vivant. The couple got married downtown during ArtPrize last year, and their friends still talk about their discoveries in Grand Rapids while visiting for their wedding.
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.
