  • Have you just taken a moment and really explored this mural in the back alley behind @oldpioneerstore_kilwins and @artworks_br ? It’s a great masterpiece of so many quant aspects of Big Rapids. The colors are very eye catching. Next time you’re walking by, take a moment. #citymurals #downtownbigrapids #cascardo #cascardoart
  • Have you been down to visit Mitchell Creek Park lately? It’s a tranquil urban park located downtown Big Rapids, this park has had quite a facelift over the last few years. It’s a perfect place to find some peace on a busy day. #mitchellcreekpark #downtownbigrapids #urbanpark #citypark #enjoytheday
  • Have you seen the new “Black Bear” by Ivan Iler? When you take a wander across the Muskegon river along the pedestrian bridge behind the Big Rapids Middle School you’ll see him midway along the bridge. He’s quite stunning. #festivalofthearts2019 #fota2019 #ivaniler #blackbear #sculptureart #bigrapids #muskegonriver
