The city of Grand Rapids set out to prove that they're not the dying city that some were describing, and in the process they created a lively look at their city and the commitment to it that their residents have. 5000 people participated in this "lip-dub" of Don McLean's "American Pie," all nine minutes of it.

Grand Rapids is a pretty neat place for the arts - have you checked out the "Art Prize" competition they do every year? They give away a million bucks to the top artist.
