Grand Ledge

Place names don’t always mean what you think—just ask Toad Suck, Arkansas. After that letdown, I’ve learned to ask before I assume—especially in Michigan, where ‘rapids’ may or may not have rapids, and ‘big’ might not be so big. From Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids, I’ve got questions...and a Kalama drama.

Talk about an interesting Facebook Marketplace find... you can buy your own working firetruck out of Grand Ledge, Michigan. Check out the listing for yourself.

Don't let summer go by without at least one more road trip. One 78-acre park in Michigan is worthy of the drive. It's less than one hour from Grand Rapids and only costs $5 per vehicle!
