Corky pointd out this gret site to me this afternoon called Lost Lansing. It’s a trip down memory lane for those of you who have been in the area longer than six months. I’m a big history buff and I love this kind stuff. Not only does it have restaurants that have gone by the wayside, but it’s got a section on the old Civic Center, gas stations, theaters, and more.

I noticed a post about this last week on Good Food Hunting and today I got a comment about it from Ang, so I thought I’d make a post reminding people. Select Michigan Day on the lawn of the Capitol is this Thursday, September 18.
We went to this event back in July and walked away with a lot of great stuff. I’m sure we’ll make another trip downtown now that some of the fall vegetables are starting to come in.
Celebrate the 4th annual “Buy Fresh, Buy Local – Select Michigan Day” on September 18, 2008!
