Lansing, Michigan. The state's capital has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Due in part to the Lugnuts baseball team, the stadium district has helped breathe new life into downtown Lansing's Michigan avenue and is now home to hot clubs, bars, and restaurants. Some are brand new. Some are old (with new twists). Lansing's historic Old Town district has also seen a vibrant resurgence, thanks to some visionary Lansingites like the late Robert Busby, founder of the Creole Gallery. There have been a lot of changes in recent years. Check our what our local insiders say and let them show you around.
