The record
The Meijer segment on the Allendale campus, 17 km west of the university's downtown buildings.
A segment on the Allendale campus of Grand Valley State University, one of the three given to Grand Rapids institutions by the grocer Frederik H. C. Meijer. The record was held as unresolved until a lead placed a segment on the Allendale campus specifically: the university has buildings both downtown and at Allendale, 17 km west, and this record's coordinates sit on the latter.
How did it get here?
Given by Frederik H. C. Meijer, who donated segments to three Grand Rapids institutions.
