Grandville earned its reputation as West Michigan's retail hub by hosting RiverTown Crossings, one of the region's largest malls, surrounded by everything from Target and Costco to restaurants you can count by the hundreds—438 within a mile, in fact. It's a city of just over sixteen thousand people straddling the Grand River, fifteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids but wired into its own commercial spine. The Fourth of July parade down Wilson Avenue has been running for decades, a tradition woven so deeply into local life that a vice president once showed up to walk it. And if you want proof the place has staying power, there's Rainbow Grill, a classic American diner that's been serving the same old-school menu since the nineteen-forties.
