—so you end up in one of these older West Michigan subdivisions and realize four minutes gets you downtown, which means you're actually living inside the city without pretending to. A. B. Watsons Sub. sits right there in West Grand, a acre-sized plat where a transit stop is basically at your door and a restaurant is a three-minute walk. The grocery is twelve minutes on foot, coffee's eight, and if you want to throw a ball around, Canal Street Park is a four-minute walk away—there are eighteen parks within a mile anyway.
