What's the story behind the tarps that are covering some of the store front windows?

By my count there are over 40 people (and one dog) visible in the picture. That's more than in most cityscape pictures, even ones in much larger cities than Grand Rapids.

It's positively capacious! No bus shelters, benches, trees or overflowing litter receptacles. There aren't even any parking meters or lampposts to properly lock those newfangled bicycles against.

It would be called Kandy Kitchen.

The clock on the tower says that it is 9:34, but the shadows, especially the awnings on the hotel, appear to be more middle of the day, noontime, shadows to me.

The old Pantlind Hotel is now the east portion of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

I like the net on the bike, and note correct usage: two handles, one bar.
