A Local Student
Published: April 30, 2009Neighborhood: Eastside
The final person I interviewed is Tom Randall, a fellow brother of my fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon. Tom is a Senior at MSU and a local from the Eastside of Lansing. I was able to sit down with him and have a brief discussion with him. He has lived in Lansing his whole life. I asked him his thoughts on the current stage of Michigan Avenue. He said that it looked a lot nicer and cleaner when he was younger. As he got older, he just saw it fall apart. He seemed very optimistic when I asked him about the Michigan Avenue corridor. “People in the area can walk with more pride and positivism in their neighborhood if this is a success.” I also asked him if it would attract more college kids. He said that it would, and because it would, it would be great for a lot of the local businesses, especially the bars and the restaurants. With a better image in the area, it will become a popular spot for more people to come socialize with each other.
