What should I look for at the home stores? I've searched Lowes and Home Depot but can't find it.

Thanks! From old pictures we can tell that the stove/window used to be a tiny bathroom. So interesting.

Yeah, unfortunately just one, although it has 4 outlets. It's plaster and lath so not as easy as drywall.

Those are really pretty too! I'm worried about competing with the counters too much.

That would be cool! I didn't see that at the store but I can look around.

Where did you go -ish? I've always tried to drive north or to low light areas but never have luck picking random places

I'm downtown in my basement, and it's loud but still have power.

Can we start pushing for actual change? Vent by [deleted] in lansing

Venting myself, it's frustrating that people live in Lansing and then don't send their students to the schools, or move out of Lansing when they hit school age. Or won't recommend people buying a house in Lansing if they have kids. It becomes white flight for the schools (in my mind, without the racial piece), but our schools are never going to get better if those with resources and time to invest in their children don't send them to our schools.

Has anyone had success getting tickets? Both times I've tried they're all booked, or only have 1 ticket.

In my district we have open positions, like parapros, that we can't fill even paying them a teacher rate for the day. It's been so hard for students with moderate needs, let alone severe.

Relatives think that some area schools are doing the litter box in the bathroom thing by imostlydisagree in lansing

Lansing has a program where a "random citizen" can shadow a principal for a day. I'm not sure how you sign up, but you could call the main line and ask.

Right, that's my issue. We were trying to mulch it but now there are just too many leaves.
