Monroe Center

Recently, the Grand Rapids Press (mlive.com) did a week long series on the history of Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids.  This fabulous series chronicled:

• Monday (December 24, 2012): More than 100 historical photographs of Monroe Center
• Tuesday (December 25, 2012): Memories on Monroe: Guest essays on downtown's heyday by Diana Barrett, Tom Dilley and David Britten
• Wednesday (December 26, 2012): How a feud between city pioneers shaped downtown
• Thursday (December 27, 2012): Why the Monroe Mall failed, and why we're lucky it did
• Friday (December 28, 2012): Morton House, Kendall Building redevelopment 'just a portion' of what's next for Monroe Center
