East Hills and Eastown are two popular neighborhoods located next to each other within Grand Rapids. Both neighborhoods are on Wealthy Street, which is a bustling street filled with small, independent shops, restaurants, and businesses. Because there is so much to do here, I recently took a day trip to East Hills and Eastown to check it out. This day trip is perfect for a girls day out, day date, or even a parent-child bonding outing.
Concluding my series on adventures we took ‘Up North’ are details from our full getaway to Traverse City. Traverse City is a popular destination for Michigan residents to visit throughout the year. It’s busiest during the warmer months, but not much closes down during the winter, which makes winter an excellent time to visit to avoid crowds. Even with Covid, there are still plenty of extremely safe things to do in Traverse City.
For the longest time I wanted to explore Marshall, Michigan during a day trip. Marshall is a town in southern Michigan with a ton of interesting history significant to both the state and United States. For one, Marshall once was in the running to become the Capitol city of Michigan. And two, the ruling in the Crosswhite Case helped contribute to the inevitable US Civil War.
Besides those facts, the Marshall Historic District is considered one of the US’ most architecturally significant National Historic Landmark Districts. With over 850 buildings, there are many original, well kept examples of 19th century architecture here. If you’re interested in architecture, you must add Marshall to your bucket list!
