This blog will be one of 3 places that I collect, deliver and communicate information collected while traveling all the streets of Lansing, MI. My goals are to walk every street in the city of Lansing, MI. I also hope to patronize as many local businesses as I possibly can. By doing this I can also offer media attention, publicity, and support to Lansing small businesses. I also hope to draw attention to the Lansing area. My desire is to use this adventure to bring to light all the hidden gems of Lansing. As a photographer I am also interested in finding great places to use as background for photo shoots. I hope to really capture the many intricacies of Lansing. Finally I will assist in the sidewalks alert project for Walk and Bike Lansing group.

Dear Ms. O’Meara,
I’m one of your new fans, it seems, courtesy of Planetizen’s link to the Lansing story about your walking-and-finding tour. I’m a landscape architect, Chair of a new Landscape Architecture program at the NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego, and I know what walking uncovers that a car or even bicycle tour can’t. I will be a guest editor for the school journal, and would love to include a short piece on what you are doing. Would you be amenable to an email interview? Leslie Ryan
I would love to hear from you Leslie, and provide any information about this project. Feel free to contact me at adomeara@gmail.com! I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ariniko
