Grand Rapids' Own Gerald R. Ford
President Gerald Ford has a strong presence in Grand Rapids. However, I was surprised by the people who just laughed and kept walking when I asked them for an interview about Grand Rapids claim to fame. To learn more about Former President Ford visit Wikipedia

I hear you about having people laugh at you. Most don't see the huge impact these videos can have and will have. I saw your sunshine vid, kinda weird, I had also made a vlog about trains. Good stuff.

Undisputed best moment: running up the gerald ford wall, then doing a pirouette. You are unparalleled Mr. Leo.
Some day there will be interviews on the street: "Grand Rapids, Home of Josh Leo. Some people don't like his vlogs. Some people are like ehh, yeah, they're good."

Ah, Gerry. So loveable. So accidental. I love the "just an average citizen can become president"--especially when you're not elected! I (Nate) got yelled at and was almost escorted away from the museum for playing in the fountain.
Next on your list: do the monument to 50 Years of Fluoridation!

Really, really loved this one.
So random, so much work and love
put into this, and an unbelievable
amount being said just by setting out
to make something about Ford.
