Tale of Two Towers in Grand Rapids Michigan
Grand Rapids has seen substantial growth in our city in the past 100 years.
This photo of the old train watch tower on the West Side with the JW Marriott tower in the
background shows old and new construction in our city. One hundred years ago, the train
watch tower was an essential part of the transportation grid in Grand Rapids, then a major
hub for train traffic and one of the major employers in the area.
Now, the JW Marriott luxury hotel tower tells a different transportation story.
Grand Rapids is host to many national and international travelers who are used to traveling
in style. Our city employs many people in the hospitality business to cater to their needs.
