Can you tell us something significant about your town? Does is have the oldest building, a special landmark? Was it a hopping town in the early 1900's etc. Can you post just one?? I think it will be fun to learn a few new things about our state!

Back before the trains and gas vehicles came thru, our area was a very popular stop along the Grand River. We had a huge lumbermill in town and it employed most of the town. We have beams in our house that were milled at the lumbermill, which now sits empty. Our town is now quite small with less than 1000 in population. JUST the way I like it lol.

Yeah I think so

"They keep you doped with religion, sex and TV and you think you're so clever, classless and free but you're all f*cking peasants as far as I can see.

A working class hero is something to be. A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still, but first you must learn how to smile as you kill. If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

I just moved here to Coopersville in December but I have found it has a pretty awesome train. They let people ride on it during the year for events. Today though they're having a festival downtown and it has to do with outhouses. Not sure what else I can't wait to find out more about this place.

The city I grew up in some people were affraid to visit because the kkk leader lived there. But I think that problems been squashed and people don't mention it much anymore which is good. Its also been to me a nice quiet neighborhood.
