Come to Grants Pass

Our first reaction to downtown Grants Pass was that it lacked the charm of many of the towns around the Bay Area.

BUT THEN we discovered all of the art displayed in the streets and all of the patriotism. For example, in the summer of 2006 the town commemorated the 230th birthday of our nation with an elaborate mural for each 10 years from 1776 thru 2006 [23 displays]. And there is so much more. The town has so much enthusiasm and loves to celebrate.
