Over the past few years, whenever someone asks me what my favorite state is, I usually respond with something to the effect of “My favorite state might be Michigan.” People are typically somewhat surprised when I say that, but it really is a special place. I’ve explored Michigan cities like Detroit, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and…

Grand Rapids, Michigan is a wonderful place to visit whether you are in a wheelchair or not. It is a city on the Grand River just east of Lake Michigan and boasts as the leader in the production of fine furniture. The downtown area is also vibrant with gorgeous views of the river and plenty…
