News Editor Jerome Lawrence reports on the chaos and devastation from this week’s raging storm in Grand Haven and all across the Western Michigan area. Risking life and limb in pursuit of ‘the story’, Lawrence’s reporting at the Grand Haven State Park was cut short after being seriously injured in the fallout from a…
For decades, academicians and laypersons alike have debated this controversial and divisive question. What’s your view?
When this now-famous photograph of an unidentified flying object near Grand Haven’s Coal Tipple was first reported by The Grand Haven Tribune on July 10, 1973, it landed Grand Haven in the national media spotlight and sparked a wave of Western Michigan UFO-sightings which lasted throughout that year and well into 1974. To this day,…
During a two-hour meeting yesterday, lawyers and owners of both The Grand River Times and Butch’s Beach Burritos tentatively agreed terms for an out-of-court settlement, which both sides hope will avoid the lengthy and costly court case which otherwise could have resulted from the lawsuit filed at Ottawa County District Court yesterday morning by Butch’s.…
