I went to visit downtown Lansing with my new friends, Kendrick and Rosalie. Lansing is the capital of the State of Michigan. There are many things to see downtown.
Our first stop was the Lansing City Market. This indoor "farmer's market" operates all year. It's a nice place to go to find local produce and unique foods.
This is what it looks like inside the building.
Here we are outside the building. It sits along the Grand River. In the summer there will be "boat taxi's" on the river and there will be lots of people walking on the River Trail right beside the water. It's sunny today, but still chilly. Brr!
The building behind us is the old Ottawa Power Station. It was built back in the 1940's using different colors to make it look a bit like a flame. It used to burn coal. Then it was empty for a long time. Now it is being restored so it can be used for offices. Here is a story about this building that my friend at our local PBS station wrote.
