ABOUT THE BOOK
“100 Things to Do in Lansing Before You Die“
Centrally located in Michigan, Lansing is 90 minutes from 90% of the state’s population, so it makes an excellent destination for a Michigander’s weekend getaway.

Although almost half a million people call the Greater Lansing area home, Lansing offers a small-town atmosphere while featuring ample city comforts. Learn how to take on the “Ultimate Carnivore Food Challenge,” where to find art from world-renowned artists, and how you can reach tranquility in the serenity of a Japanese Garden.
Native Lansingite and resident of South Lansing, Amy Piper, is the source to maximize your visit.
