About
G-RAD is a community of blogs written by people who share some connection to the city of Grand Rapids, MI.
Originally, G-RAD began with a bunch of people getting together to start an online publication highlighting the peculiarities of and the goings-on in the six Grand Rapids neighborhoods in which we lived. Augmenting the travel center-like content was meant to be a set of personal blogs and eventually we wanted to open our own store featuring all Grand Rapids-made products. After meetings and meetings, the inertia behind the G-RAD project began to die. we started discussing different ways to use this site and eventually decided it would be a good idea to strip the project of a few of its loftier aspirations and reform as a blogging community.
The goal of this new G-RAD, initially, is to form a community based around two basic common denominators: location (Grand Rapids, MI) and medium (blogging). Right now there are about 30 of us, and it is all starting to come together. we are looking at ways to engage the community through various projects and activities, and continue to grow.
above all, this is our loveletter to Grand Rapids. We hope you like it.
