• Meegan Holland I don't live in Lansing, and I'll no longer work there come December. But I appreciate that the city, and particularly its downtown, is the core of our region and deserves our support. Without a thriving downtown (and Old Town and REO Town), the region implodes. So you won't be able to keep me from downtown. This holiday season, I'll be at the Peanut Shop and Capital City Market. Where will you shop?
