    I'm a Grand Valley grad. Twice. Had to move away in 1995 for employment reasons. Grand Valley football was super good back then. Still great. I'm in Portland OR but still listen to games. Former Notre Dame and now LSU coach Brian Kelly was Grand Valley's coach back then. It's high quality football. Use to go to basketball games too. Grand Valley's enrollment is much higher now than when I was in student (82-87 then 91-95). Have been expecting them to go to Division 1....and join the MAC. Grand Valley football games are well attended too. Great support.

    Wyoming is a working class starting home community. I lived there’s for years and live close by now. Make no mistake ghetto growth spread from downtown via Division south. Just a fact. The Burton heights Godwin heights area kind of go street weather it’s a good hood or not. A lot of positive’s you correctly point out, bad thing. The Wyoming City Counsel is why I won’t live in Wyoming. If the counsel wants something that requires voter approval they will put it on the ballet year after year for years until they find a to hide the funds they in something else they can get passed.

      A liberal stronghold? That's absolutely not the Grand Rapids (and surrounding communities) that existed when I moved out of Michigan in 1995 (followed a job opportunity). SW Michigan had always been conservative/religious/red territory. I still have family there. They tell me it hasn't changed much. Was born in GR in 1964 at St. Marys hospital. It was far too conservative for me when I was there.

      ​@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Many years. The parks and stores, plus all the Bars on the W. Side. Putt-Putts and Joey's are Landmarks neighborhood Bars on Fulton St. with great food ! The Westside now runs all the way out to about Remembrance Rd. and the houses are all nice in that area too. And yup, we have plenty of churches too if you are so inclined. Plenty of real nice Condos can be found about Richmond Ave. and Oakleigh Road. What best describes the W. Side though is that for the most part the people here own their own houses and they maintain them too. Less crime on the W. Side but things are getting a bit dicey about Leonard St and Alpine Ave. lately.

    Growing up in Wyoming in the 70's, I got the best of what that area had to offer. During summers, every Tuesday night at the 'Beltline Drive-In Theater' was Eberhard's night. $0.50 for as many people as you could jam into a car. I'll bet I didn't miss more than a handful my whole life, and I don't think I ever watched a single movie. It was all a big party. Walking around from car to car, visiting, drinking, smoking joints. Every summer WLAV (radio) would sponsor the raft race. Another huge party with live music. I moved to Oregon in 1987, but I'll never forget the great times I had growing up in Wyoming Michigan.
