Suits,
No. I'm from, and currently live in, Maryland but went to school at U of M. It was there that I was pleasantly introduced to Founder's and Bell's. I never would have imagined Michigan to have two of the better breweries in the country (or world, according to BeerAdvocate.com).
I did four years worth of school in GR. My last two semesters, I started hanging with a group that would hit up Founder's every Monday for discount night.
The staff always had a great attitude and all the beer was impressive. I very much enjoyed a habanero infused beer that was offered occasionally. One of the few beers you'll always sip, not drink.
However, the porter you've provided the photograph of changed my whole perspective on darker beers, although I've yet to discover another porter that is quite as good.
Honestly, I had a very bad attitude when I first moved to Grand Rapids, but after some time of actually investing into finding out what the city had to offer, I discovered that it punches way above it's weight population wise.
I have no comments on the women, there's a variety available, but if you honestly wanted to simply vacation somewhere interesting and varied, it would be a cool city for anyone to check out.
There's a leading travel guide series that calls GR the best city for beer in the USA (or maybe the world, I do not recall which), but the city is also host to the biggest weekly swing dancing event worldwide and offers museums, parks and other cultural stuff.
Lots of art venues and there is an annual art contest called Artprize that is just massive. You can spend the whole day looking at the entries.
Different parts of the city have different flavours, but most importantly....great beer.
