They told me to go to Hell... so I did. And honestly? It was fantastic. Here's what I discovered about Michigan’s famously devilish little town.

From gas lamps to geothermal lawns, Michigan’s third—and final—Capitol Building is a masterpiece of innovation, preservation, and cast-iron wonder.

Another walk on the Lansing River Trail led to a right encounter with one of the city’s most historic—and possibly haunted—homes. Here’s what I found.

A visit to the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum in Lansing, Michigan, is an immersive journey through architecture and art, showcasing 19 centuries of creative evolution. From Zaha Hadid’s iconic design to contemporary exhibits that challenge perceptions, this museum is a must-see for anyone exploring the city. And while the art’s impressive, it’s the unexpected moments — like discovering Yupo paper — that really leave an impression.

From humble produce stand to 70,000 square feet of glorious sensory overload, Horrocks Farm Market is a Lansing legend you need to experience at least once—if not weekly.

From humble beginnings to housing over 350 animals and leading conservation efforts, Potter Park Zoo proves why it’s a must-see in Lansing — just don’t go during nap time.

Lansing’s River Trail is more than a path — it’s a scenic, historic adventure connecting parks, neighborhoods, and over 20 miles of Michigan beauty.

It was a first for both of us: my first Michigan 5K, and the first rainy start for Lansing’s Run for the House. But that didn’t stop nearly 700 runners, walkers, and ruckers from turning out to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mid-Michigan. From costumed characters to community heroes, here’s how a cloudy day brought sunshine to hundreds of families.

Meghan Patrick and Ashland Craft kicked off the first stop of their Rollin’ Stoned Tour with a soulful, high-energy show at the Stache in Grand Rapids. Drawing from deep catalogs, famous covers, and personal stories, the duo delivered a night of music, laughter, and heart.
