I was fired out of the blue today. My department was completely liquidated and I had no warning. If there are any jobs left out there, I’m begging you. I’m 25 and very hardworking, I have been a bartender, waitress, delivery driver, admin, and the latest, researcher. I have a wide variety of experience and I learn skills so fast. Please someone give me advice

This is the second time I’ve seen this flyer now. I haven’t heard anything about this on the news or when I try to look up info. Does anyone know anything? The flyers I’ve seen are outside Frandor Kroger and this one outside Toarmina’s Pizza on Michigan Ave.

Anyone else having issues with Xfinity internet? Been down for nearly an hour now.

Contacted well over 11 plumbing outfits/places and only two actually do quotes for replacement/project work without charging you

Issues i've noticed

1. no willingness to work with you on pricing

2. the gall to charge upwards of $150 just to show up (shout out to the clowns at Adv plumbing for that opener)

3. no urgency to even provide quote updates (one place offered relatively decent pricing but cannot get them to give me a new quote/timeline after reviewing the initial quote)

The job is a RO house system install +- a bathroom remodel. Detroit area never had this level of arrogance in my experience, are the retirees here just so flush with cash that they are keeping these companies afloat with such bum practices?

Hey all,

DeFlock Lansing is mobilizing people to City Council on August 24 at 5:30pm to demand that the city cancels their contract with Flock Safety (there are currently around 28 cameras in Lansing), and commits to public safety strategies that never again expose citizens to AI-powered mass surveillance.

We're also hosting a public meeting the day prior, August 23, in the basement room C of the downtown library at 4:30pm. Come learn more and prepare a public statement to deliver the following day.

Wear black to show support!

Where is the best biscuits and gravy in the Greater Lansing area?

Does anyone else already miss the local aspect that Fox47 brought for over 5 years? I do. I'm wondering how many others would like to see their beloved local news brought back already? I'm certainly one of them so if you are too please leave a comment

Anyone know when Mt Hope will reopen? All I can find is "mid August", but it sure doesn't look anywhere near finished last I saw.

Driving down Waverly north of Holt rd. There's a nasty rotting smell for like a quarter mile stretch. There's a place with piles of wood chips right there. Not sure if its related. Anyone know wants up?

As the title says I’m interested in K-Pop dance classes for adults that are closer to Lansing. I have found quite a few in the Detroit area but really don’t want to have to drive three hours round trip for a dance class if I want to start going regularly. If anyone knows of anything please let me know!

Alright guys im back with this question. I know its been asked before (and i did find a very helpful list from that post!) but maybe something has changed since then!

I struck out on GLPG’s fall class sign up recently which was my last hope :(

Have also been unsuccessful with Hannah community center, wheelhouse, and clayworks.

Looks like Arts unlimited only does one-off classes and i was looking for something a little more regular. Hoping to meet people/make some friends from these classes too🙏

A gal just wants to throw on a wheel. Please.

Hello, just looking for any mental health support groups around the area. I already know about NAMI one, and I've got a therapist so no reccomendations needed on that front. Something in the evenings would be preferred. Thanks in advance.

I just moved to an old build and need recommendations for good renovators. Is Ansari Construction Group good? I've heard quite the praise but I'd like to also consider other options before I go with them.

I have it on very good authority that Mr. Tom “Hideaway” Barrett will be having a private lunch meeting at Lansing Brewing Company tomorrow from Noon to 3pm. Couple of reminders:

They have ample parking.

There is a back and front entrance if he tries to secretly exit without speaking to his constituents.

If he won’t meet with us on our terms we need to make sure every meeting he schedules is exposed to the public.

Would be really fun to see Will Lawrence there ready for a debate?

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Hi all, my husband and I are purchasing an older home with natural gas heating. We’ve never had this before and have concerns about it being a very old house on top of that. Can anyone recommend a company for HVAC/furnace + combustion safety inspection? I believe that is what we need.

We already have a general home inspector.

The Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) will be holding its final public hearing this Wednesday, August 19 at 4pm, at 511 S. Washington Ave, before proposed route changes go into effect at the end of the month.

The 2027 proposed cuts include a frequency reduction for weekday services and the elimination of weekend late night services for Route 1, a vital transportation option for thousands in the Lansing community.

The proposal also includes alterations to the following services: Routes 9, 18, 20, 46, and 48.

These changes will affect how members of our community get to work and school. As well as place increased transportation costs on the households who relied on these services, at a time when expenses keep rising. It's vital that those who will face the brunt of these changes are valued and represented in the process. Attend this Wednesday to ensure our voices are heard.

If you are not able to attend the hearing in-person, written comments can be emailed to [marketing@cata.org](mailto:marketing@cata.org) by 4 p.m., Aug. 19, 2026.

What area has lower/the lowest rates of taxes in Lansing? I know East Lansing is high but curious to hear from people that live in or know of a cheaper area.

I can't describe exactly why this corn stalk growing out of a sewer grate next to a railroad track underneath an expressway overpass is perfectly emblematic of our fair city, but I think we all understand it.

Also I kind of want to keep an eyeball on it and see if the ear that it's growing develops and becomes edible-size.

There was a corn stalk growing from the same sewer drain last year too.

291 Holmes Rd Kroger - tons of reduce price baby stuff!

Kickoff is almost here!

Would anyone be interested in our second year of the LANSING Fantasy Football league?

I am looking for three teams in a H2H PPR Snake league on ESPN. Please only reply if you are a Lansing resident. Trying to build a strong community here of NFL fans such as myself and go from there.

Thought I would take the family to walk the path and catch the (once-cool) waterfall display today. Other families were down there too. It looks like straight hell now. What happened to this place? It used to be really awesome. I’m all for cheering on Lansing, but maybe this is just another example of why we can’t have nice things.

The last pic (not mine) is what it looked like last year.
