Very cool. Was 25 and had just graduated from MSU. Born and raised. Grew up near the capitol and was born in Sparrow Hospital. Been in St Louis since 1994. 5 siblings still in Lansing. Going back for a concert on September 22nd at the Cadillac Room. Should be fun. Thanks for posting.
4:39 I can't believe how much East Grand River through East Lansing has changed in recent years with all of the high-rise apartments and such. It looked rather plain back then in comparison, but I miss those days. Eating at Dooley's was one of my childhood highlights :)
A lot of Okemos Michigan is stuck 80s even a bit of 70s and 60s, especially the houses and neighborhoods near downtown Okemos those neighborhoods are old and look about the same as they did then.
Wow.... where I was born and just one year after. I remember that Spartan Theater very well... that's where I saw my first movie in a theater. I also fondly remember discovery zone being there after the movie theater. Memories..... Time flies too fast
Wow. I drive through here almost every day. It's amazing to see the things that are still there and the things that became run down ghosts. The camera focus is killing me. Lol.
I moved to Lansing MI. the same year this was filmed " 1987 " . Talk about bringing back memories. And the Spartan theater in Frandor. I love looking at these old videos. Please keep on playing these videos... 💖💓🆒💯
Are you saying that they were using "dope" as in model airplane glue? That would be dangerous. Or perhaps a slang reference to marijuana? That would also be quite dangerous. Or perhaps you are speaking some odd dialect of English.
I live and grew up in Lansing I was 11 when this video was made and damn it brings back memories of me riding my bike and swing how things looked back then , wow
The weather is just like it always was (almost always), cloudy, gray, overcast, drizzle, cold. But growing up in Lansing I accepted it as normal. Still great memories.
I was only 2 for most of this year, but was born in Lansing (& lived within a 30 minute drive my whole life). This is so cool to see. Thanks for sharing!
Remember the civic center? I seen motley crue there oh and Ted Nugent's but seeing Alice in chains a the silver dollar was the best talk about up and close
Should been around in the 70/80's, Frandor was major Cruising area, cars came from many miles away. We'd go to Northside Drive Inn in Dewitt or Rocky Horror at Frandor, the second Mall in all of Michigan built in the 50's. After it was over to Burger King across the street at one time one the Busiest in US
WVIC, the "new 95 FM" :) ...for some reason I never liked that station back then, but the songs I am hearing in the background are bringing me nice memories.
That was my favorite station growing up (though I started listening roughly a year before the flip to country). Just hearing a young Monica Harris in the background is bringing back memories for me LOL.
I used to listen to 95 FM all the time growing up. Then when I was a senior in high school, they switched to Buzz 95, an all modern rock station. That station was awesome. It lasted less than a year before they switched formats again... pfft
Gosh, so nostalgic. Thanks for sharing... it's been years since I've been in Lansing, and even more years since it's looked like this. Too bad you didn't get the mall and the Toys 'R Us in that footage.
I was so excited to see the old Frandor but it panned away lol Amazing video, so nostalgic as I was born this year so my whole childhood looked a lot like this.
I saw “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” at that theater the day it was released on my birthday. I completely forgot the train tracks on Saginaw, and the Arby’s and McDonalds where Grand River and Michigan split. I felt like a little kid riding in the back of my moms 1978 Chevette again!
Ha, saw Rocky Horror in 70's there. Married at Peoples Church next to E.L. McDonalds a few months after this was taken. Talking of a Micky D's, this Video 1987 at Larch/Sag not a McDonalds there yet, built then closed over 10yrs ago. Didnt last long...
This brings back memories! Been a Lansing resident my entire life (45 years) I instantly recognize this as Saginaw eastbound. Ahh the days where there were 4 lanes of traffic, not 3 with that pointless bike lane they now have on the right. I totally forgot there was once a train track right before the bridge coming up to Cedar. And that car totally blew through a red light going north on Grand at 0:55. Someone grab that guy's plate number! Ahh, never mind. It's been 35 years, lol
Now there is a Rite Aid where the theater was, McD's next to the church has been gone 30 years, Now they have built high rise apartments and parking ramps above the East Lansing businesses all along the strip throughout East Lansing and Lansing for student housing. Sears closed and is now the epa center for Covid testing. Lots of changes. I grew up here. A few bars in E.L are still around that I partied in during college. Love the 80s music on the radio.
I think McDonald’s was there until early 2000 or somewhere in there, I remember going in there in 1997 after an appointment next door at the house between McDonald’s and Peoples Church.
NOTICE, how roads and traffic is flowing quite well. Compare to the changes that have been made since then, slow traffic, more opportunities for tickets, it look like all the changes are for not. (Backwards intuitive).
I would love to see more videos from back in the day. It makes me happy and a little sad as I think of how many of my loved ones were still roaming the earth back then.
I'm still in Lansing michigan. I bought my first new car in 1987! I drove through this area last week. I don't remember the Spartan theater. It must have been where the Red Lobster is in Frandor. I do remember the Shell gas station next door to it. Wow memories.
I just saw the first place I worked. Pete's Frandor Shell gas station. And next door. the theater that we spent every week end getting high as hell watching The Wall or The Rocky Horror Picture Show At midnight for $1. Good times!
I miss street racing I loved my 442 I had a small block my friend had a 455 big block in his 442 he wouldn't let his girlfriend drive it but he would let me. So fun
I feel so old that I was born the next year. The only thing that still looks the same are the Quality Dairy stores, which are still going strong. I used to work on the owners Dodge Charger at the dealership. Still a family run business
Wish there was a better shot between Hillcrest and the People Church. So old Biggby was an Arby's and the car wash was a McDonalds? Was Crunchy's there? Camera equipment sure has come a long way. I never knew there was a theater in Frandor.
Crunchy's opened in about 1983. I lived behind there in 1984 and watched a lot of the Tigers' epic World Series season's games at Crunchy's that summer! It replaced what had long been an Italian restaurant at that location.
Don't know, at least 3-4 dozen Businesses gone/torn down, gas stations, Restaurants and the Theaters. Train Tracks across Saginaw are gone now. Use to take Coal to Ottawa Street Power Plant until early 90's. Love the other Lansing Video posted on here from late 1960's, was just old enough when they torn down all the Washington Mall Buildings b4 they closed it off to traffic. Actually road my bike of 496 right before was opened to cars. Wish more these old videos would be posted
Pause. The building at Grand River and Abbot- it looks like there was a fire right where the alley exists between Beggar's and the adjacent building. Thinking 'bout the alley - there are beams between the two buildings. Things make sense, whoa.
@@kwantoon 1987 mine was VHS, about $500 from Wards. This video seems like was filmed on older Format. Father In Law played/recorded all the time, 50's though 2008 when he passed...
Two years before my time amazing footage, wish the camera was more stable and scanned the whole area but grateful for the history, driving down that same street today almost everything is changed but that damn quality diary still there lol you get great views when you waiting at Burger King twenty mins for your food 😂😂😂

So freaking cool! I grew up in Lansing. In Texas for 30 years now. Seeing these landmarks and hearing the music is like going back to a bookmark.
Wow. I drive through here almost every day. It's amazing to see the things that are still there and the things that became run down ghosts. The camera focus is killing me. Lol.
Yeah auto focus has come a long long way
@@batmanzurek It would have been better to choose an appropriate focus distance and leave it there.
@@morbly damn you smart huh?
Need Dramamine 🤮
So is that part like still stuck in time like if the 80s have never ended?
I moved to Lansing MI. the same year this was filmed " 1987 " . Talk about bringing back memories. And the Spartan theater in Frandor. I love looking at these old videos. Please keep on playing these videos... 💖💓🆒💯
Is everyone from Michigan getting this recommended 😂
Yes. I got it lol
I just spotted this
Yess
Yep
Yeah I did lol
dope footage!! I was just a youngster back then! I drive that route almost daily! Thanks for this content! shout out from the Northside Lansing!
Are you saying that they were using "dope" as in model airplane glue? That would be dangerous. Or perhaps a slang reference to marijuana? That would also be quite dangerous. Or perhaps you are speaking some odd dialect of English.

Wow tons of places I forgot about, and that old Frandor sign!
"Old" 😂
Thanks for posting this. I have lived a stones through from here all 40 plus years of my life. Awesome to see this.
Are you part of the Feldpausch grocery stores?
@@elliottpeabody1287 no. But I remember ...
Oh my God I forgot about the movie theater we used to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show out there
I remember that. So much has changed but so much is the same too.
I was just thinking , the same thing ! ! !
Let's do the Time Warp , again ! ! !
I was going there to see Pink Floyd or something at that time, cool memories.
Hanging out at frandor having fun then going over to rocky horror yep and doing the time warp. Good times🤪
Remember the civic center? I seen motley crue there oh and Ted Nugent's but seeing Alice in chains a the silver dollar was the best talk about up and close
I lived in east Lansing in 1987 and used to listen to 95fm WVIC 🥰 This video is great nostalgia!
The music is the touch that really takes you back. Of course it was just life then.
Oh man! A lot looks exactly the same. Wish they would've driven through Frandor--that changed a ton when I was a kid in the mid-90s. Very cool.
Should been around in the 70/80's, Frandor was major Cruising area, cars came from many miles away. We'd go to Northside Drive Inn in Dewitt or Rocky Horror at Frandor, the second Mall in all of Michigan built in the 50's. After it was over to Burger King across the street at one time one the Busiest in US
Definitely remember a lot of this stuff.
Drove around on my job from 1991 through 1998, moved away to help a friend in need (a stroke).

Them old traffic lights were the coolest look. Especially the 2 square covers on top of a curved convex one on the bottom.
A Blast from the past...ty

I was 6 when this was recorded and wow there are some things in this video that i completely forgot
I saw “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” at that theater the day it was released on my birthday. I completely forgot the train tracks on Saginaw, and the Arby’s and McDonalds where Grand River and Michigan split. I felt like a little kid riding in the back of my moms 1978 Chevette again!

Awesome seeing how much things have changed. Especially in East Lansing.
Who saw that truck blow that red light on Grand Avenue through Saginaw next to L.C.C. at .55 sec in?
Yep. He was SCREAMING through there. It's a wonder there weren't any traffic accidents.
Now there is a Rite Aid where the theater was, McD's next to the church has been gone 30 years, Now they have built high rise apartments and parking ramps above the East Lansing businesses all along the strip throughout East Lansing and Lansing for student housing.

Are you related to Rhonda and Vicki?
Was the spartan theater near frandor? I was 7 years old, I honestly don't remember much from back then.
NOTICE, how roads and traffic is flowing quite well. Compare to the changes that have been made since then, slow traffic, more opportunities for tickets, it look like all the changes are for not. (Backwards intuitive).
This was filmed before US-27 was decommissioned and replaced by US-127
No he drives over US127 at about 1 minute 55. US127 was there at this time.
I am wrong. Wow. My mistake
I think 127 came in 1983 maybe
I would love to see more videos from back in the day. It makes me happy and a little sad as I think of how many of my loved ones were still roaming the earth back then.
Really like the homes
It feels like I time machine.
Awesome that the VW dealership is there even back then. Now we KNOW where you're at on Saginaw lmao
Mannn I was looking tryna figure out what street they on my young ass couldn't guess it 😂😂💯
Yep, and channel 6 right across the street LOL.
I'm still in Lansing michigan. I bought my first new car in 1987! I drove through this area last week. I don't remember the Spartan theater. It must have been where the Red Lobster is in Frandor. I do remember the Shell gas station next door to it. Wow memories.

Worked at State Discount in early 80s
Anyone know what happened to the vintage Lansing video in the 70s??
Wow this is crazy! I was 5 and this is my hometown! Wish you would of turned on Cedar St. and gone south
Was that a driving tour or a road race?? The radio was a nice touch,though!!🙂
Ayeee smooth shit on the radio
Massive v6 engine cant get no better than that
L TOWN
I miss street racing I loved my 442 I had a small block my friend had a 455 big block in his 442 he wouldn't let his girlfriend drive it but he would let me. So fun

Once u pass frandor your not in Lansing anymore buddy... the nostalgia was cool tho.
Yes you are
No the hell your not... just ask any brother that's been harassed by the lame ass east Lansing police
@@maddogmcgraw517 Not big enough to be territorial about . They figured you have destroyed enough of the town already
Wish there was a better shot between Hillcrest and the People Church. So old Biggby was an Arby's and the car wash was a McDonalds? Was Crunchy's there? Camera equipment sure has come a long way. I never knew there was a theater in Frandor.
I think Biggbys was a greyhound bus station.
Crunchy's opened in about 1983. I lived behind there in 1984 and watched a lot of the Tigers' epic World Series season's games at Crunchy's that summer! It replaced what had long been an Italian restaurant at that location.
Must have had a full on video camera 🎥
I worked at the Frandor BK early/mid 90s. We traded food for movies at the triplex all the time.
Can you see if they record in elmwood park apartments in 1987?
I was 12 in Lansing Michigan
great video, i grew up there. what was the car you guys where filming from?
2nd gen camaro
I almost forgot until I heard it again "The New 95 FM" - it was "new" for damned near 20 years. lol
It looks not a lot different than now. 42 year Lansing resident from 1979. I recall all these spots.
Don't know, at least 3-4 dozen Businesses gone/torn down, gas stations, Restaurants and the Theaters. Train Tracks across Saginaw are gone now. Use to take Coal to Ottawa Street Power Plant until early 90's. Love the other Lansing Video posted on here from late 1960's, was just old enough when they torn down all the Washington Mall Buildings b4 they closed it off to traffic. Actually road my bike of 496 right before was opened to cars. Wish more these old videos would be posted
Crazy how much downtown EL has changed
Should have went straight and went on to MSU Campus! Thanks for the memories.
1:08 Man it seems like those railroad tracks have been gone longer than that.
My favorite part is the radio and Danny's Song.
The traffic in EL is so different!
Wild, tons of that stuff is still there haha
Dang. This was taken a year before I was born.
I lived there from 84-87. 😮
Thanks for the trip..❤.. drop me off at Pete's in E.L. .😊
LOL, that REO Speedwagon song!
awwww man! I was only 23 back then! 😢

Yes I loved our Spartan Theatre!
I wish Nothing has been changed.
good to see how lasig looked then i was 10 when this was recorded but this is awesome
95 fm?
Playing at Spartan Theater that day:
The Running Man
Suspect
Fatal Attraction
Must be late 1987.
Yup, Thanksgiving Day!
Awesome , my freshman year
That painted rock will be there forever! Check back in 100yrs. Lol. 5:26
Lol, killin it. The EL Police station wasn't even there.
Wow, that was pretty cool
Pause. The building at Grand River and Abbot- it looks like there was a fire right where the alley exists between Beggar's and the adjacent building. Thinking 'bout the alley - there are beams between the two buildings. Things make sense, whoa.
The New 95 FM. Classic.

Looks the same to me, looks more futuristic them now
The Quality Dairy still looks the same.
@1:07 I forgot before the river trail it was train tracks lmao born in 92' so it was prolly gone before I was born
I thought really that well's a good little city at the time
2:08 - We catch the guy in Michigan checking out the foreign Foxes
This must be Saginaw street cuz they took to East Lansing
Lol I used to live where they drove by at 22 seconds.
Two years before my time amazing footage, wish the camera was more stable and scanned the whole area but grateful for the history, driving down that same street today almost everything is changed but that damn quality diary still there lol you get great views when you waiting at Burger King twenty mins for your food 😂😂😂
