2012Coleman,
Not hardly closer as you have the entire Eastpointe RV Resort all jammed into a small corner right next to the waste water treatment plant on the river front!
I didn't say you did it on purpose but rather pointing out the huge discrepancy in your posted transposal having a miniture sized CG mislocated on a MANY times larger parcel of land it actually occupies and the relationship. We live and have lived for over 73 years only about 3 miles from Eastpointe RV Resort and see it a couple times a week when in that area of the city and the CG goes well over 1/4 mile away from the plant.
A little info:
Eastpointe RV Resort is on the corner of Fulton and Beechtree which used to be US-31 route (only having 2 lanes in both ways - 4 total) thru the city and went thru a residential section on the east side south of the US-31 bridge before the new US-31 was re-located in the 1950's roughly 1 mile west with a divided very wide median multi-lane highway which is going to be made even wider again now.
The Grand River bridge at Grand Haven has from 90,000 to 120,000 vehicles a day going over it as it's the ONLY bridge over the wide Grand River for 16 miles going upstream from Lake Michigan where a new .8 mile long limited access bridge and highway will be opened for use the end of this month. 5 years of construction for the long bridge! The limited access by-pass (B-231) is to drain off some of the US-31 traffic and connects to I-96 on the north side of the river.
US-31 was the major US highway going all the way from Michigan's Upper Peninsula all the way to Mobile. AL and heavily used by Chicago, Indianopolis, Louisville, Nashville, and so many other Midwest states and Cities vehicles going north or south. Over 50 million people live on the US-31/I-65 long corridor. Most of US-31 is now re-named !-65 with part in Michigan being I-196 for about 100 miles to where it connects to I-96 and US-31 again.
West Michigan (Grand Rapids and the 60 mile long lakeshore area has had very high growth in population for many decades now and has almost 1.5 million population now. Direct Grand Rapids Metro Area has grown to over 1 million today and keeps on growing as does our entire area. The opposite of the Detroit-Flint SE Michigan. Grand Rapids is approx 32 miles east of Grand Haven and is a very nice, clean, prosperous very modern spreadout city with new many very tall buildings over 25 and many more under construction today. So much to do and see there too and only half an hour away on Interstates.
There's more than 40 total CG's just in this small local West Michigan area alone and it includes 14 of Michigan's over 100 State Parks with CG's. Camping, RV'ing, boating, fishing, vacationing, beaches, etc are extremely popular around here and thruout the entire state. Not only the Great Lakes shoreline areas but Michigan has over 11,000 inland lakes and 40,000 miles of rivers/and streams and all are UN-SALTED fresh water. Add in that over 50% of the state is forested which is so nice for camping and hiking etc.
I know my state quite well and what a fun place it is! 51+ years of RV'ing and boating etc in it and not about to stop!
