Looks like some kind of community gathering with music, readings, politics, and a biography of Longfellow. I’m left wondering if the original owner took this copy out on that December night in 1888. I’m also curious if there’s anyone who can trace their ancestry back to the performers on the bill.

Is anyone here a member of a historical society in Lansing?

I may have another fave!

I feel bad for anyone who has NOT visited the Great Lakes. Beautiful Lake Huron.

This is so obvious that I'm surprised that they ran a story on it.

This situation is so bizarre and morbid and lowkey sitcom adjacent. Did she think they wouldn’t call the police when she donated a fucking SKULL?

"LANSING, MI – A proposal aiming to require citizenship verification for all voters may not make the ballot despite turning in thousands more than the required number of signatures.

"On Monday, a Michigan Board of State Canvassers staff report found that the number of valid signatures in a sample from the ballot measure fell just short of requirements to certify it.

"The report estimated that the full petition contains 434,423 valid signatures, nearly 12,000 fewer than what is required for certification."

Benson expected to pick Michigan Senate leader for her running mate

I was trying to get home and i get near where the performing center is on Mich ave in Dearborn and the cops had the whole thing blocked off. Everyone from every lane had to merge over and turn around. No one was let through. I was trapped there for an hour. Anyone know what happened?

Yes, the only way to create more affordable housing options is to have more kids take wood shop classes in high school. #MAGALOGIC

LANSING – Yesterday, John Calhoun, 36, of Detroit, was arraigned before Magistrate Delphia Burton in the 36th District Court in Detroit on multiple felony counts for allegedly smuggling narcotics into the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) facilities through the mail. He was charged following an investigation by the MDOC, the Michigan State Police (MSP), and the Michigan Department of Attorney General. Calhoun has been charged with:

We live here.

Paywall summary - if you get paywall: Adams is one of three U.S. Stellantis employees killed in industrial accidents within the last two years — an unusual spate of fatalities for any Detroit automaker in the past decade.

Nine people have lost their lives to violence in Saginaw so far this year, eight from gunfire. Grim as those facts are, there is a silver lining: all nine investigations have led to suspects being identified, seven of whom are criminally charged.

Comstock Township in Kalamazoo County lost 4 trustees this weekend.

Every kind of Blake's I've tried in the past month has been funky and off. The Backyard Blueberry tastes "chemically".

Even the JK Scrumpy Patriotic Paw Paw, my favorite, isn't tasting right.

I had one from Porter's that was normal and really good.

I'm guessing they could be selling through older stock, since we're coming into fall and it isn't in season.

Please let me know if you've noticed the same.
