I didn't know much about Grand Rapids, Michigan, until last weekend. My son decided that we should meet there because it's a lot bigger than the city he lives in, Midland, and isn't Detroit. The city proper has about 200,000 people but the metro area has four times that. One interesting feature is the Public Museum. It has exhibits about history, architecture, technology and culture, all interesting to us visitors. This is the clock from the old city hall, parts of which were preserved when it was demolished.
Stockholm City Hall celebrated 100 years recently. No clock tower on it. But in a popular movie from the 1980s, the hero climbs on the City Hall tower!
ReplyDeleteThat's worth preserving.
