Featured City: REO Town
The car-centric sense of community that built this historic commercial
and residential district is alive and well among its alternately
practical and whimsical shops, professional buildings, loft apartments,
and home-grown pubs and eateries. With easy access to the Lansing River
Trail, downtown and the expressway, this attractive stretch of
Washington Street south of I-496 has stayed true to its automotive
roots while establishing a strong reputation for festivals, events and
art sales.
