First, my apologies for the long Day Improver absence. No big excuses. Life has just been more hectic than usual lately. But I will try my best to get DI back on a schedule.
The Grand Rapids LipDub has been making the rounds for about a month, so a lot of you may have seen it. Back in May, five thousand people in Grand Rapids, Michigan got together to make a video of themselves lip-synching to Don McLean’s famous song, American Pie. Their inspiration? An article in Newsweek which referred to Grand Rapids as a “dying city”. I think it’s pretty clear that any city that can band together to finish a project of this scope can’t be called “dying”. Please watch the whole thing to see just how much coordination and cooperation this took, especially considering it’s one continuous shot.
I just read the news about the tragic shooting in Grand Rapids this weekend. My thoughts are with the people of Grand Rapids during their time of grief.
