Hello everyone,
Me and my husband are wanting to sell a few items that we no longer want and/or need. So, if anyone is interested in the following please let me no. I don't have pictures up of the items, but can post if requested. We live in Lansing, so arrangements can be made if anyone would like to come and see these items.
I can be reached by commenting here, imelinoei@comcast.net, or (517) 887-3152 (please leave a message).
- Lazy boy recliner. Tan/Beige color. Great shape, but in need of a shampoo. $75.00/obo
- China Hutch. Needs one of the small glass panels replaced. Dark wood color. $75.00/obo

| International 48/5 Film Competition |
[Jul. 18th, 2008|08:41 am] |
Just in case anyone here has any sort of interest in making movies.
The film crew I am on (Best Little Ever) here in Lansing will be taking part in an international 48 hour film competition this weekend. We will be tasked with making a short film in 48 hours with elements that will be given to us tonight at 7PM. The planning, writing, shooting and editing of this will all take place here in Lansing over the weekend.
There are 70 different cities worldwide taking place in this competition, so it is a rather large scale event and worth the time if you have it.
So if any of you out there want to be a part of it, leave me a comment or email me ian.bulock@gmail.com.
Or if you have any locations, props or people that you know that would like to be on call to potentially be used if we need them. Let me know :D

| Baby Hospitals |
[Jul. 18th, 2008|08:33 am] |
So my husband and I decided that in about six months we want to expand our family and start trying for a baby. I've done a lot of research with my insurance company and it has been determined that Sparrow or Ingham are not covered under my insurance.
So..
Does anyone know anything about Hayes Green Beach (in Charlotte), Ionia County Memorial Hospital (in Ionia), or Carson City Hospital (in Carson City)? |

| An Introduction |
[Jul. 15th, 2008|08:20 am] |
I kind of quietly joined this community yesterday and never said hello first.
I am Ian, I am 23 and live in Lansing. I live somewhere on Clemens perhaps near Saginaw. I work on the West Side at Skory Autosound and am pretty much the most awesome person in the world (which can't possibly be a lie.)
I have lived in Lansing for almost 10 years since I moved here to begin HS.
I love it here so far and plan to remain in the area for at least a few more years. |

| 3-bedroom houses for rent |
[Jul. 14th, 2008|04:32 pm] |
Hey all,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any 3-bedroom or more houses for rent over on the West side. Waverly school district would be preferred. Thanks. :) |

So, this morning I was a bit early on my way to work. So I did what any smart person would do and made a morning stop to Mcdonalds for some breakfast.
As you may or may not know, I take the bus to work. So stopping for breakfast means getting off a couple of blocks early, which is fine, I need the exercise after a meal of that caliber anyhow.
So here I am walking from McDonalds to Skory on the West Side. As I am walking I usually look around at all of the run down closed buildings and think of how cheap I can one day buy one of these properties for when I eventually make it big.
As I am looking around I notice a very peculiar sign in front of me. I thought perhaps I read it wrong at first so I did a double take. Somehow I had read it right and it just did not make any sense to me.
( More... )
Nothing about this makes any sense... |

I was wondering if someone could recommend me to a tattoo artist. I have some tattoos already but my next one I need customized. If anyone knows of someone around the Lansing area, that would be great. Thanks. |

| Zoo |
[Jul. 10th, 2008|12:30 pm] |
Has anyone been to the Potter Park Zoo? Is it any good? I love zoos, but looking at the website, it seems a little small. And since I don't have a valid Michigan drivers license, I assume I'd be considered a non-resident, which would mean it would be $10.00 for admission. I'm willing to pay that if it's worth it, but... is it worth it?
Edit:
Thanks everyone. It sounds pretty horrible from the comments, so I'm glad I asked before going. :( |

| bike racks downtown? |
[Jul. 9th, 2008|04:40 pm] |
Is it just me or are there a dearth of bike racks downtown? I found some by Cooley, but didn't even see any at the public library. I didn't look too hard though - if you know where there are some other bike-parking options I'd be glad to hear 'em. |

Question, I need to get a general contractor and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good one in the Lansing area.
During those big storms that came though we had a 1500ish lbs tree fall on our house and have some major work that needs to be done. = ( |

| Suggestions for hangouts please. |
[Jul. 5th, 2008|12:28 pm] |
Hello!
I just moved to Lansing, and I am curious as to what the best coffee houses may be. I am generally more fond of the non-corporate type places. Wi-fi is a must, although I guess that is probably the standard these days. If I could get some suggestions, along with whether it is non-smoking or smoking, location and what types of people are generally attracted to such, I'd be much obliged. |

My first 4th of July in Lansing was a blast. I had no idea people here liked to blow stuff up so damn much. It sounds like Baghdad outside.
One thing that really struck me as odd was these, um, floating candles. They look like candles attached to balloons. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? |

Here is an updated design for the Accident Fund headquarters:
Redevelopment proposal would retain look of Ottawa Power Station
Developer Christman Co. would oversee the work and own the building. The vision, which is expected to become a reality by 2011, would turn the 200-foot-tall power plant into a nine-story office building. Except for the addition of a few windows, the exterior of the structure would remain largely intact.
The more dramatic changes occur inside the building, where a new steel floor structure would be built, and immediately to the north of the plant, where a 101,000-square-foot, four-story building sheathed in glass would be built.
The two structures would be connected by a 5,000-square-foot, four-story atrium that would serve as the main entrance to the complex.
• Ottawa Power Station to be converted into a nine-story, 227,000-square-foot office tower
• A four-story, 101,000-square-foot office building is to be built immediately to the north of the plant.
• A 1,000-space parking structure is slated to be built on the north end of the 7-acre site, at Shiawassee Street and Grand Avenue.
And here is a link to the video of the building: Accident Fund fly through <-----sweet ass video |

| I need a place to live. |
[Jul. 1st, 2008|10:42 am] |
Hi Lansing! I'm Ben. I just moved back home from a long, painful time in Syracuse NY and I need a place to live!
Why you want me: I am neat, I am tidy, I pay my bills on time, I don't start trouble on the homefront, I won't be hauled off to jail, I am funky and fresh, I like to shake my tuckus to 80s jams.
Why I want you: You have a "dirt cheap"-to-"reasonably priced" room available to move into as soon as possible ($450 and below for rent/water/electricity/internet), you preferably live downtown (somewhere between LCC to Frandor), you are a nerd (music/science/word games/beer/whatever), you have talents to offer society, you are clean and neat and somewhat near my age (24).
I can move in as soon as possible (all my belongings are with me in my van), so... let's talk business.

Hello hello.
In the spirit of continuing the search for good food posts, I was wondering if any of you would know of a place that sells Döner kebaps. I once heard someone mention a place that has them, but I'm not sure it was even in Lansing.
Thanks! |
