New To West Michigan? Here’s 12 Things You Need To Experience
Being a Michigan native I never made my way out to West Michigan until I turned 21 and got my first full-time job in radio.
There are so many amazing things about West Michigan. I can only assume I was either a really bad child or my parents didn't love me since we never made the short drive to the west side of the Mitten State when I was growing up.

I ended up spending seven years in Grand Rapids at a previous radio job, and during that time I met my now wife, Lindsey.
I actually proposed to her at one of my 12 places you need to experience.
I popped the question while watching the sunset on the lakeshore in Holland, Michigan.
I recently returned to Grand Rapids to host The Big Joe Show on Mix 95.7. Last week my new co-host Laura Hardy moved to Grand Rapids from Louisville, Kentucky.
Laura has been to Grand Rapids a few times, but now that she's officially a Michigander I wanted to share with her and you some places around West Michigan everyone should check out.
