Circle Theatre in Grand Rapids is a great venue to see local plays in an intimate environment. I heard about it years ago from Kim and Steve Allie who were donating their time to help the theatre with its marketing when it was at John Ball Park. During that time it grew in size to the point where it needed a newer and larger home. Here it is at its new location on the Aquinas College campus.


I got up early to visit the WTRV (The River 100.5 FM) morning show with my client from Allie Design, Dean Weber D.D.S. (of the Aesthetic Dental Center.) Dr. Weber was a guest on the show. The sky was so beautiful on the way back to work that I took this while I was driving.

I really appreciate the folks over at WTRV, Chuck LaTour and Andy Rent talk about Michigan Sweet Spot every Friday around 7:40 AM.

I know a lot of people who have moved to the Byron Center and Caledonia area. After driving around there, I can see why. If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon drive, cruise out to 100th Street and drive through the farmland, this is one of the barns I saw while checking it out. By the way, if you have any great ideas for fall color tour pics, please make a comment and let me know. I want to get some pics from all over the state and appreciate your suggestions. (Thanks!)

Because of the construction in downtown Grand Rapids, you can see things from a different perspective than before. I’ve always been curious about the history behind this old church on the hill next to the Van Andel Institute. I took this standing in the middle of what would normally be a busy, busy road, but is currently completely torn up by construction.

Every Sunday from 11AM-3PM, through October, there’s an artisan’s market on Fulton Street in Grand Rapids. It’s where the Farmer’s market is during other days. I love the laid back atmosphere, community spirit and incredibly good prices. Here’s someone having henna art painted on his arm. In case you’re wondering, the kid in the background is fine, he’s just goofing around. I’ve got more photos of the artisan’s market that I’ll be showing later this week. Here’s a google link to help get you there.
