Friday night we went out to see a music show in an area of Lansing called REO-Town. First, a little about REO-Town. It's a district in Lansing that is just south of the downtown area, and is named such because of Ransom Eli Olds, you know, Oldsmobile. There is an enormous concrete wasteland nearby as well, where the former Oldsmobile factory used to be. This area is seeing somewhat of a revival, and it's inspiring to see this type of thing go on in a place like Lansing. It feels so much more needed and gratifying in this part of country and Michigan. So we went to see a musical act called the Lansing Unionized Vaudeville Spectacle. It was a lot of fun, and a special holiday show with dancing, Christmas songs, shadow puppets, and kazoos. I felt small town while at the show, that feeling of community that can only come from a small town, with such a diverse mix of people all wanting to support and love this part of Lansing. |
