Good morning, Lansing.

Feed 'Em Fest in St. Johns brings neighbors together for music and food while raising funds to help local food banks fight hunger.

The event honors Alex, who died in October 2023, and last year organizers donated over 11,000 pounds of food—almost 9,000 of it protein—to cover processing fees for local hunger initiatives.

A new Auntie Anne’s/Cinnabon opened last Monday, July 21 at the former Tim Horton's on Jolly Road in Lansing—local foodies had long awaited the pretzels, cinnamon rolls, and churros now on offer.

Michigan is among six states that saw a recall on over five million above-ground pools after a toddler drowned due to faulty straps that allowed unsupervised access.

Residents who purchased these pools since 2002 are urged to stop using them and call the manufacturer for a free repair kit—federal officials stress the need for immediate action to prevent further accidents.

MSU men's basketball coach Tom Izzo announced the team received its first 2026 commitment in Wayne Memorial guard Carlos Medlock Jr., who led his school to its first MHSAA state final appearance.

He will join the Spartans' backcourt with juniors Jeremy Fears Jr. and Kur Teng in East Lansing and is expected to boost the team’s three-point scoring — a promising start to MSU’s future lineup.
