Could You Recognize East Lansing Nowadays?
When was the last time you've been to East Lansing? Last week or last month? Maybe it's been a year or two. Maybe even longer, like a few years to a decade. No matter how much time has passed, if you've been away from East Lansing for a while, you may not even recognize it now.
The downtown stretch of Grand River Avenue between Harrison and Bogue Street has seen so much change that it looks and feels like a different city. Old businesses have closed down, new businesses have opened up, and that's just the start of it.

Wasn't that crazy? In some pictures, East Lansing is almost unrecognizable, particularly in the ones that show how much bigger a lot of the buildings are now. Not to mention some of the businesses that have completely disappeared over the years; did you spot that old Blockbuster Video Rental? And that's only the last 14 years! Just think about how different it looked before that.
