The 2009-10 Grand Rapids Magazine City
Guide is your ultimate sourcebook
for fun in the city!

A lot has changed in GR since 1980, not the least of which is Grand Rapids Magazine’s City Guide. City Guide was born in 1980 as "From the Editors of Grand Rapids Magazine: 1980-81 Bestway’s Apartment and Condominium Report.” In 1981, that title was shortened to "Newcomer's Guide." We settled on “City Guide” in 1983.

In 2005, we expanded this annual mid-summer supplement to fill the entire July issue with resources on the arts, entertainment, recreation, dining — the sights, sounds, flavors and personalities that make this town unique.

The complete list of “Best of GR” readers’ poll winners in 100 categories and two special 2-for-1 dining coupons will have you scouring the city for new places to explore all year long.

This year’s guide includes several stories on West Michigan entrepreneurs, plus the magazine’s annual school rankings of 29 districts.

No Regrets

Hot Ideas
From Pop-Tarts and steel wastebaskets to “one-stop shopping,” West Michigan has supported pioneers.
