I live in Chicago. And I love it. But I miss Grand Rapids so much. I miss all of my friends and the bright red autumn leaves and living within walking distance of Nantucket Bakery and The Sparrows coffee shop. I even miss the stupid drunk frat boys playing their guitars on the hoods of their cars at 3am. And the "resident" homeless man who shuffled around on the street outside of our apartment building. Summer is officially over only when he has changed from his cut-off jean shorts into his sweat pants. His name is Mark. He wants to fly south for the winter.Grand Rapids will always hold some great memories for me. I recently was able to breeze through on my way from a wedding in Clare back to Chicago and I took about a million pictures and almost cried because I think autumn in Grand Rapids may be more beautiful than autumn anywhere else that I've ever been. And it's my favorite season. Here are a few photos from that trip to peruse before the snow starts to fall (ugh).
