I lived in Lansing (1948-1961) and was looking forward to seeing the video, knowing that it wouldn't be the downtown I remember. But, other than the Capitol Building, the former (?) Michigan National Bank building, and the former Olds Tower, I was totally lost! No narration, no street signs for reference, and seemingly random turns. I did glimpse The Peanut Shoppe as you drove by and also recognized several long established churches. Since I no longer drive, I'll never get back there again, so thanks for taking me along with you!
SB on Washington at 12:00 minutes went past I think is a Vietnamese restaurant nowadays, but back in the day it was the Ritzee. Great chili dogs and chocolate shakes!!! Knapp's also had a pretty good lunch counter.
what a silly goose! in my hometown this exact thing happens all the time, the downtown is 80% one way streets and people from out of town are constantly screwing up
Definitely one of America's most attractive state capitol buildings is in Lansing.
It is super sexy tbh 🥵
I would agree with the building. BUT WITH THE CITY ITSELF, nope. We need to make this city ACTUALLY GOOD.
It actually looks very nice

Can anyone tell me any good parts of lansing to move to
Yeah... downtown is safe as it gets
Oh man thats my car at 13:16 I knew I would make an appearance. 😂
You have made history, the first person to comment that they (or their car) has appeared in a video.
@@exploreusacities That is wild!! Love the channel!
Thank you
Lots of good bars along that gauntlet. Pretty tame though compared to many downtowns. Gangsters prefer to work the southside.
Near reo rd
2:23 Car going the wrong way on a One Way street. 😊

It's not a 1 way anymore... they hadn't changed the signs yet
Weird, hardly anybody walking around.
Where’s all the people? Lots of bars and eateries but no one on the streets.
Guess why we started saying no to the road millages?..... after 10 years
Awfully quiet for midweek.
4th of July fell on a Tuesday so they probably took the whole week off 😀
