Michigan Avenue is getting an upgrade! 🚧

As improvements continue along this important corridor, let’s keep showing love to the local businesses that help make Lansing so special.

Be sure to stop by and support amazing spots like Soup Spoon Cafe, Fabiano's Candies, Pablo's Mexican Restaurant, and more.

They’re still open and serving up the same great food and treats you know and love. Let’s keep them busy during the construction season! 💛
