Beautiful city with big city vibes but much nicer! Every the occasional begger seems nicer and more put together.

I would like to give a huge shoutout to the Downtown Ambassadors with DGRI. About 11 years ago, I lived, worked, and went to school in downtown GR. I was brought back downtown in February 2022 when I began working with a local business, and WOW how the city has changed! Being down here on a regular basis, you truly get to see how hard our city works to beautify the downtown area. The "little" things (or what may go unnoticed by many) like new trash cans, consistently updated landscaping, and friendly Ambassadors who go above & beyond to assist those in need are the reason Grand Rapids is continuing to improve and flourish. I would like to thank one Downtown Ambassador in particular, Thibs, who only ever has a smile on his face! He frequently checks in with the business I work with, and it is obvious how much pride he takes in his role to improve our city. As an example, the other day he stopped by while on his route, and I had a question for him about our new trash cans along Monroe Center (were there now other designated areas to recycle cans). He was unsure of the answer, but he took the time to radio his team to find out. I also was asking him for advice on The Rapid bus system, because I would like to share with others how they can take advantage of alternative forms of transportation to make it downtown. He not only answered the questions I had, but he showed me a couple apps I could download to view the bus routes & offered his personal advice. Thank you Thibs, we appreciate you!
