CELEBRATION

so tonight was a little celebration grand rapidians like to call "celebration on the grand." it's a party, or a 'celebration,' if you will, on the grand...river. so two years in a row now we've invited some of our peeps over for some grub and some brews, we chat, we laugh, and then we walk down to watch the grand fireworks exploding over the grand river. it's a grand ol' time. but this year was kind of only half of a grand time b/c we were a little late in getting ourselves downtown. the main bridge, best for prime viewing, was PACKED. this meant that we could only see half of the fireworks popping out from behind the Amway Grand hotel. we could only imagine what the other half of the fireworks looked like. we managed a half cheer for the half of the grand finale that we were able to see. farewell summer, farewell... --SN
