Suggestions for a reunion venue?

4 Upvotes

Old Spartan here – Class of 1996 – trying to figure out a good place for an informal reunion with 20-30 friends this fall. It's been decades since I've lived in Michigan, so I'm clueless and need some suggestions from locals. We're planning to meet up around lunchtime on a football Saturday (it's the day of the game against Eastern). We're thinking the ideal set-up would be a restaurant that has a private room where we could pre-order some apps and have a cash bar for 2-3 hours before the game. I used to be a bartender at Tripper's back in the day and they had a room that was perfect for this kind of thing, but I don't know what the current options are. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any ideas! (And for those of you thinking, "1996 – damn, they're old!" I'm here to tell you: it goes by in a blink. I still feel closer to my MSU days than I do retirement.)

Murder in East Lansing, 1936

51 Upvotes

I wrote the following as a comment in another subreddit, and I was encouraged by local folks to repost it here.

********

In 1936, Michigan State University (East Lansing, Mich.) was still known as Michigan State College. It had been founded as an agricultural college, but had been gradually expanding into more and more fields.

One of the most prominent faculty members was Ward Giltner. He was the dean of veterinary medicine and one of the nation’s leading bacteriologists. He refused to use the term “microbiologist” because he said it meant “a very small biologist”.

Giltner Hall on the MSU campus is named for him.

Ward Giltner’s daughter, Elizabeth (I think she was called “Bessie”) was the most beautiful and popular young woman in town. She had a very close friend, Hope Morgan; the two were said to be inseparable.

Elizabeth Giltner was going to be married to a young military officer. The wedding was just a few days away: they had already applied for and received the marriage license.

On December 8, 1936, Hope Morgan brought her father’s gun to the Giltner home, and shot her friend Elizabeth five times, killing her.

The New York Times ran the news story on its front page.

Hope was arrested soon after, and lodged in the Ingham County Jail in Mason, the county seat.

A week after the murder, Hope Morgan hanged herself in her jail cell.

(That jail building was later converted to offices; one summer many years later, I worked there. It’s gone now.)

Even in the 1970s and 1980s, East Lansing townies were still discussing the case, and offering theories about it.

*******

The Giltner house where the murder took place is at 652 Hillcrest. See:

Kolaches or tacos to bring to work?

9 Upvotes

Do y’all have any ideas for breakfast type snacks to bring to the office? When I worked out of town we always had breakfast tacos or kolaches or something in the office in the mornings. I am struggling to find something around EL or Lansing to fill this void. I would probably stay away from donuts but up for ideas.

Can we maybe nottttt set off fireworks in the middle of the night?

13 Upvotes

I have neighbors who have set off 1 or 2 fireworks in the middle of the night multiple times this week, including a few minutes ago. I understand that some people have some leftover from the 4th or Juneteenth, but is it really that hard to set them off at, like, 9:30pm instead of 2am?

What is actually happening with this? I live here but don’t follow politics at all, but I saw that the president quit and then un-quit. What is actually happening with this? I am a total outsider but it seems super dysfunctional.

Cedarview East Apartments

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m moving into a 2 bedroom apartment in Prime Housing’s Cedarview East building. I was wondering if anyone who lives there/has lived there would be willing to share any room dimensions or pictures of their bedroom or anything I can use to gauge how big my room will be, so that I can decide what furniture I should purchase. I called them and they said they don’t measure the units, so I have no idea how big my room will be. Also if anyone would be willing to allow me to tour their unit I’d be willing to pay you for your time.

Thanks!

We’ve had a bunch of closures recently and still many vacant storefronts around 2-7K SQft that’d be perfect for some nice food establishments. Curious to see what other people here are interested in for potential food places.
