To the homeless person on Hagadorn and Hannah Blvd

I see you’re back for students when they move back this weekend. Haven’t seen you since they left in May.
Please get out of the literal road before you get hit.

Is it true that reheating oatmeal in the microwave takes away all its nutritional value?

Title. Wondering if the oatmeal fans out there know anything about this.

What the hell happened to Ranney Park?

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.

Surly Lowside 27.5 commuter switching from knobbies to slicks. Is a 2.2” vs. 2.5” tire width a negligible difference?

Fretting over tire size and wondering if it’s even that big of a difference. Any experience or thoughts on if one is better than the other?

Terrain is entirely flat, 90% pavement and 10% wooded trail. Commute distance 5mi. Like to kick off a few curbs and bunny hop here and there.

Edit: I’m going from a 2.8” knobby to a non-knobby (either 2.2 or 2.5)

New to commuting; looking for backpack suggestions for 5 mile commute that won’t make my back sweaty

Office job, and I wear a backpack that has a laptop and a few notebooks in it for work. I dress business casual and my current backpack causes a good amount of sweat.

Upper midwest climate, open to any suggestions.

Is getting some bike bags/rack the way to go?

Drove through MSUs campus, west of Harrison. What’s the story with the abandoned “Spartan Village”?

Title. Looks like a cool area/ former neighborhood but just totally abandoned. What’s the story with why it is in this condition, when the rest of campus looks really nice?

Random thought but it would be a cool setting for a horror movie

On-campus dining rocks. But what are some lunch/dinner specials at places off-campus?

Looking for some killer specials during the week for a quick lunch close to campus.

Props to the dining halls - just want to venture out every once in awhile.

Anyone put slicks on your Lowside?

Edited for spelling.

I have a 27.5” Lowside, and as a commuter 90% of it is on pavement.
Wondering if anyone has thrown slicks on and your experience with it if so.

New-ish to town. Bike shop suggestions?

Just looking for a place to get a tune-up. I’m over on the east side of things. Anyone have experience with Denny’s in Okemos, or the Bike Shop on MAC?

Any other suggestions ?

Lots of tweakers downtown today

Before someone criticizes and gets on their altruistic soapbox, yes every human has value.

So many tweakers roaming around downtown this afternoon. It’s getting worse. Assuming a bunch were on fentanyl due to the lean they had going on.

Who has the best slushie/slurpee type drink in the area?

Title. Is there a place that has ones better than others? Willing to travel if there’s one that really slaps but really kinda looking for a place toward the east side of the Greater Lansing Area.

Thanks!

New trash center? The median on corner of Grand River and Bogue

I’ve noticed trash piling up there since April, wondering if we have a new waste disposal center there as the city seems to find it acceptable.

Might drop a few bags off later as the city seems cool with it

New place on Washington and Michigan fam

Churchill’s Bistro and Cigar Bar. Glad a place is going to be there.

Is a bistro + cigar lounge a good idea? For those who remember smoking in restaurants, I can’t imagine going back.

Is IM Circle actually closed all summer?

Anyone know why? I use that place to shoot hoops - staying this summer and didn’t know they shut it down.
