I Said What I Said: Ban Backyard Fireworks

1 week ago | witl.com | Kristen Matthews

Just like the title says... I know it might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think regular people should be lighting off fireworks. I'm not sure how blowing things up became synonymous with celebrating or marking occasions in America, but I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of fireworks. Well, let me clarify... I'm not a fan of your average Joe Schmoe lighting off the $328 worth of fireworks he bought at a pop-up stand in the Meijer parking lot.
Why a No‑Soliciting Sign May Not Work on Religious Knockers in Michigan

I am a Lansing, Michigan resident. So, I find it helpful to be a part of local Facebook groups. That way, I can keep up on what's happening in my neighborhood. As such, I saw something recently that got me thinking. Someone in the Eastside Neighborhood Organization Facebook group shared a Ring doorbell picture. The picture appears to show two young men dressed in business casual clothes and wearing name tags standing on their porch.

Michigan Drivers: Know the Work Zone Laws Before You Hit the Road

This time of year, Michigan is going through two seasons simultaneously: summer and construction. With only so many "good weather" months to take advantage of, Michigan has to fit in as much construction as possible during that time. Which means there are LOTS of work zones. Lansing is currently experiencing significant road construction with so many major areas under big-time road work. Lane closures and shifts along 127, a closure on Michigan Avenue, and more. the picture has a sky blue background.
Lansing’s Hunger Games Arenas Are Too Real (and Too Funny)

1 week ago | witl.com | Kristen Matthews

Hunger Games is an iconic young adult book series turned movie that is pretty awesome, in my opinion. It follows Katniss (teen female main character) as she navigates her dystopian world and the new reality she faces as she becomes a "tribute" for The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is basically a dystopian version of "America’s Got Talent"—except instead of singing and dancing, teens are forced to fight to the death on live TV for the entertainment of the wealthy.
Michigan Has Its Own “Disneyland”—But It’s Not What You Expect

1 week ago | witl.com | Kristen Matthews

This summer might call for a trip to Michigan's own version of "Disneyland". If someone says they're visiting Disneyland, my mind automatically thinks of taking a trip to California. I mean, that's where Disneyland is located. Not to mention the many other iterations of Disney and its theme parks across the globe. Well, Michigan's "Disneyland" is a little bit different. I came across this brightly colored attraction on social media from Amazing America.

I love how quirky Lansing is. I mean, say what you will, but the city has character. One of the things that gives it this character are the people in it and the hilarious stuff they come up with. If you have a Facebook page, you live in/love Lansing, and could always use a good laugh, I highly suggest you follow the Lansing Facts page. Lansing Facts is that perfect combination of love for Lansing while still being hilariously honest about its shortcomings.

If you're a big Spartan fan, I've got something just for you... It turns out that Michigan State University is making some decor changes this summer. Spartan Stadium is getting a bit of a makeover.

The Lansing Area Spot Serving Up TikTok’s Favorite Pasta

2 weeks ago | witl.com | Kristen Matthews

There's a Lansing area restaurant that nails this viral pasta trend. When I see a viral TikTok trend that involves a restaurant or a certain kind of food, I'm always excited to see if I can enjoy it somewhere in Michigan. Preferably in the Mid-Michigan area, as that's where I'm located. But, I'm not above driving to try something delicious.
