Thank you for the photos.  Now that I'm living far from GR I've found a new appreciation for seemingly random photos of GR.

creed_400 on Flickr has posted some very cool 1960's era photos from downtown, and the urban renewal area.  I would buy a coffee table book of all these pics if someone put it together! http://www.flickr.co...l-grandrapidsmi

I noticed the other day how nice City Hall looks with its new windows and the removal of those gawd awful screens (as the architects intended it to look).

I find that hard to believe. Almost every department has had cuts or is going through cuts in staff.

Thanks!

Yep, in 2005 they could have consolidated entire floors and rented them out (which was one of my suggestions).

Here's a Calder/Darth Vader shot I took.

Great seeing City Hall in its original glory.  I remember when those screens went up, totally destroying the skin of this Skidmore building.  I know that the International Style is not popular with the younger crowed, but I for one have always thought that the City/County complex was an elegant addition to downtown.

I like City Hall too!  It works for me especially because of the way the two buildings are paired with each other - kind of a "Fat Man & Little Boy" duality.  Placed by themselves, they're not as unique.

But I'm not keen on most of the other buildings around them.  And I do wish we still had the old City Hall to look at.
