A couple of good plugs for GR in the Detroit Freep and one Chicago paper (smaller Daily Herald):

I LOVE Robinette's donuts and cider. We were there on Sunday and the line was out to the road.

And a plug for the new GRAM on a Toledo TV station:

I really hate words like "greenest". I'll guarantee you, we are not the greenest city around. Not by a long shot.

The article is a bit misleading. I'm glad they clarified and added "per capita" at the end of the paragraph. We don't have the most LEED certified projects. Portland OR and several other cities have more then we do.

Rick Fedrizzi the head of the US Green Building Council was here in GR for a USGBC meeting awhile back. He made a comment that he loved to hear all the cities around the US touting Most LEED buildings per capita or LEED Buildings per this or that, Greenest City or what ever greenest or most LEED'iest monikers they could come up with. Frankly to me it all sounds like a bunch of chest thumping and takes the focus away from what we are really trying to accomplish with sustainability.

Grand Rapids Marathon raises its cap to include over 400 Chicago runners!

What a cool story. Because of the humidity (one death :o ) and eventual cancellation midway through the Chicago Marathon, Metro Health's Grand Rapids Marathon officials raised their cap from 1200 to 1650 to allow more Chicago runners to join. About 400 Chicago runners, many of which were not allowed to finish the Chicago Marathon, joined the race that will be held this Sunday, Oct. 28th.
