In January, Newsweek proclaimed that Grand Rapids, Michigan was a dying city. The city responded by making this awesome video, a record-setting lip sync project of American Pie. I can't imagine a better post for Music Sunday.
It's full of memories - perfect for a holiday weekend when we gather with friends and families and share stories, old and new.
It's full of pride - perfect for patriotism and commitment to our local communities that are demonstrated by Optimist Clubs every day.
It's full of hope - hope is optimism in action.
And my favorite - The working title is "The Grand Rapids LipDub," but its message is "Experience Grand Rapids." I think you'll Experience Optimism too. Enjoy.
