Going back 34 years doesn't seem that long, but when we see what Grand Rapids looked like in the late 80s, we realized a lot of things didn't exist back then...
In the Grand Rapids area there were at least eight different Mr. Fables restaurant locations. You didn't have to travel far to get a Mr. Fabulous hamburger.
I've driven by the old Grand Rapids Press building on the corner of Michigan St. and Monroe Ave. on my way to work every day for years.
While I knew there were plans to demolish it, today I was shocked to see it nearly completely gone!
