Let's Visit Grand Rapids, MI
Grand Rapids, MI is the second largest city in the state of Michigan. Located in the western part of the Lower Peninsula, Grand Rapids has a lot to offer from its many parks (including Comstock Riverside Park featured at the end of the video) to many museums including the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, great views of the city from the Grand River (the largest river in Michigan), and also one of Frank Lloyd Wright's houses he designed, the Meyer May House.
Although the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was being remodeled when this video was recorded, I was able to check out the burial spot for both former President Ford and former First Lady Betty Ford.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Took a few days off from working on the Pontiac. Went to Grand Rapids, Michigan to the Meijer Gardens... owned but the same family that owns the stores also... and the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. What a fun weekend. Everyone should go to both places. The car museum is 55 miles south of the gardens... but is awesome. My next video will show the cars. It's a long video, but shows lots of great stuff, including the engines.

The Grand Rapids Public Museum, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is among the oldest history museums in the United States. It was founded in 1854 as the Grand Rapids Lyceum of Natural History. The museum includes a cafe, a gift shop, and a 1928 Spillman carousel, which is situated in a pavilion over the Grand River. The Museum building also houses the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium. The current Pearl Street N.W. location, built in 1994, replaced the former Art Deco location on Jefferson Avenue S.E.; that building now serves as a community archive.
