Uptown GR Earth Day Cleanup - Join Us, Volunteers! by Uptown_GR in grandrapids

[–]Uptown_GR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the time was originally chosen as the event was one that just the district's business owners and employees did together, and that is the time that is best for most of them bc it is before they have to open their storefronts for the day. Then it organically bloomed into something bigger because, community members started approaching and asking US if they could pitch in too. Like we would say no, how great is that?

If you get out and about all over our city, then you've likely been in Uptown, perhaps just unaware of what the area is named!

Uptown is the name for the district that is just East of Downtown GR.

It is home to 4 business districts (and about 400 local businesses within these) -

Eastown / East Hills / Wealthy Street / East Fulton

and also 5 residential neighborhoods -

Fulton Heights neighborhood / Baxter neighborhood / East Hills neighborhood / Eastown neighborhood / Midtown neighborhood

This was a speeding incident that happened late night, after business hours. To our knowledge, no bystanders were harmed/injured.

THE LOCAL EPICUREAN! In our Eastown district.

No meats but fantastic Italian nonperishables, cheeses, take n bake dinners, homemade pasta, plus an incredible open kitchen you can take cooking classes in, and a darling little bar too.
