    Love this spot. Love riding my bike through here or bringing my dog here on a walk. Really cool to come in spring time when it is all flooded

    This is a place of reflection. Very solemn. Our own little piece of the World Trade Center. Lest we forget.

    Michigan Capitol building and its architecture served as model for dozens of other state capitol buildings The detail in the plastering, windows, staircases, lighting, arches entries and the dome ceiling are unprecedented. Imagining the skill the craftsmen had to hand make this all is overwhelming and so impressive. Just designing and hanging the massive light fixtures from the glass ceiling is an engineering feat.

    This is an old fire truck, encased in glass, in front of an office building. Nothing else to see, nothing to do here. You see it as you drive by. Would probably be better suited in a museum, for actual enjoyment.

    The Rotary Steam Clock dates back to 1909. The clock still works today. The steam is supplied by the Lansing Board of Water and Light. It is so designed that you can view the internal mechanisms. There are foyr panels that tell the story of the clock. Very interesting to view.

    In downtown Lansing is an historical marker. One side tells about the Strand a beautiful old building, the other side about Lansing's former theater district. Worth stopping to read.

    This historical marker on the Capital Bank Building is actually on the Capital Street side of the building facing the state capital. It is a tribute to Ransom E. Olds, the automotive pioneer, who invested in his adopted city.

    George E. Palmer served the people of Lansing in several public offices. He started a foundation to provide school children in need with shoes in the early 19 hundreds. This has lead to the present days "Old News Boys" Club. A State of Michigan Historical Marker tell the story
