1. THE CALDER
2. DA VINCI HORSE
3. THE MEIJER GARDENS
4. VAN ANDEL ARENA
5. DOWNTOWN SKYLINE FROM I-196
6. MEDICAL MILE MICHIGAN STREET
7. FULTON STREET FARMERS MARKET
What about the Blue Bridge, the Castle Apartments in Grandville, John Ball Zoo, the Fish Ladder, Yesterdog, even?
So many of the suggestions are passions of Grand Rapids folks, and they mean a lot to residents here.
One suggestion that I thought was the most unique was the Lip Dub! Do you remember? It was so long ago that probably a lot have forgotten or have never seen it. So, in honor of a true "art piece" of video magic, and possibly the Eighth Wonder of Grand Rapids, here is the Lip Dub!
Pretty amazing wasn't it?
This is totally open for discussion, so what would you pick as the Seven Wonders of Grand Rapids?
