Impressively well-established shortcut at the corner of Jolly Road and Pennsylvania Avenue in south Lansing.

Urban planners relish these as examples of the "desire path" phenomenon.

I hope the property owner is calm about the frequent trespass, not all wound up and angry about it all the time.

A 2004 car wash building, seen here in 2019: 15 years old!

I was lured to this car wash by the prominent triangle of its false dormer, by the fact that it was erected in 2004, and by the green vinyl of the small canopies above its vacuum cleaners. I am such a sucker!

No no no! by Tim Kiser

No no no!

It would be good to stop worshipping this genocidal white supremacist with places of honor among the streetnames of our city: Lansing, Michigan.

Call $uburban Cadillac and let them know you will not be buying any Cadillacs until they u$e their influence to make the city rename the street.

Look at Google Maps and see: This shit is not even in a neighborhood of streets named after presidents. It is just a random gift to the white supremacists in town. Possibly Suburban Cadillac among them?! I would hate to think that, but.
