Just visiting

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. With a soup bar boasting 15 varieties, 60+ salad toppings, a beer garden with 49 rotating taps, and surprises around every corner, this isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a full-on adventure.

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.

Scientists say the real dire wolves weren’t nearly as fearsome as their fantasy counterparts. So, what exactly is Colossal Labs unleashing into that secret preserve—and why?

I visited Detroit for the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Excellence Awards and was pleasantly surprised by the city’s revitalization. It’s not the Detroit I expected, and I’ll be back—especially for a Coney dog.

While filling in on the WITL Wake-Up Show, I asked listeners for must-visit local spots—and they delivered. Over the weekend, I checked out The New Hudson Inn, Michigan’s oldest bar, and it totally lived up to the hype. From the historic charm to the free cinnamon-sugar donuts at Sunday breakfast, this place is a gem.

Place names don’t always mean what you think—just ask Toad Suck, Arkansas. After that letdown, I’ve learned to ask before I assume—especially in Michigan, where ‘rapids’ may or may not have rapids, and ‘big’ might not be so big. From Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids, I’ve got questions...and a Kalama drama.
