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
Contacted well over 11 plumbing outfits/places and only two actually do quotes for replacement/project work without charging you
Issues i've noticed
no willingness to work with you on pricing
the gall to charge upwards of $150 just to show up (shout out to the clowns at Adv plumbing for that opener)
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?
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?
Anyone else having issues with Xfinity internet? Been down for nearly an hour now.
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
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!
We are moving to be near my Mother-in-law. I have never been to Michigan. I lived all my life in Florida except for the last 2 years in South Texas. What are some things y'all would recommend for a couple in their 40s to do and see around Lansing?
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?
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.
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.
Just wanted to post a cautionary warning for folks looking for nail techs as I saw a searcher a few weeks ago. Do not go to @nailsbyjamiet she is a high schooler working out of a bedroom in a dirty duplex which is not advertised on her page. I am also unsure if she is genuinely licensed as I was under the impression you needed at least a high school diploma to be licensed.
My nails were lumpy and thick, she did not trim my natural nails to fit the extension shape, there are large gaps between the extension and my natural nails under the nail leaving spaces for things to get stuck, and when I was unhappy with a design and asked for it to be removed on two nails she was frustrated, pushy, and sloppy injuring my cuticles making the fix. This made the appointment extremely uncomfortable. Ultimately my nails chipped in under a week and the experience the first time was so bad I had no desire to go and have her fix her work.
I get that this is partly my fault for not doing as much research as I could have, however she has a fairly decent following with tons of nice looking client photos. I get everyone has to start somewhere, but if you’re looking for a professional experience she would not be my choice and I wanted to caution others.
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.
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.
The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)
Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter.
Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!
These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.
Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details!
We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!
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.
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 by 4 p.m., Aug. 19, 2026.
For more information on the proposed ajustments click here.

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.
