Driving or biking through J. Aldrich Smiths Sub. feels like moving through the old bones of West Grand—tight blocks, modest homes, the kind of place where you're never more than a few minutes from something you actually need. A grocery is a five-minute walk, restaurants number in the eighties within a mile, and downtown Grand Rapids sits just six and a half minutes away by car. Transit is literally steps from your door. Harrison Park, all fifty-seven acres of it, is a five-minute walk for baseball, tennis, or just air.
