The Grand Rapids coordinates were in town, on a residential street, and an alternate location was proposed and accepted, so there was hope of Grand Rapids' first reported meetup.

Smq and girlfriend arrived at the alternate location around 4:05 and waited around until 4:25 or so without seeing anyone before going to check out the generated coordinates. The generated coordinated turned out to be the back bumper of a commercial vehicle parked on a residential street. A non-noteworthy picture was taken of the bumper. The alternate location was then rechecked (around 4:35) and still no one else was seen. Ah well, maybe next week.
