The state capitals. As children, we memorize them to some peculiar tune in order to pass our U.S. Geography quiz. As adults, we praise and lament them as the source of all that is great and woeful in our state governments. For the body politic of Michigan, it’s also one more place to R-O-C-K. ( [...]
City of Lansing, music fans find Common Ground
Diver makes tiny splash, big impact on U.S. Trials
Â
NO RUNNING AROUND POOL AREA. Unless you just earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team headed to Beijing for the Summer Games like Underground Printing customer and friend Christina Loukas did last Saturday. Ok even then, be careful. For most of us, “diving” consists of cannonballs, belly flops, and the little-kid-slow-motion-fall-off-the-edge-of-the-pool. For Christina it [...]

Coverseation Piece
Converse, a brand best know for Chuck Taylor’s hightops and helping Michael J. Fox elude 1950’s roadsters, has seized upon the resurgence of the Celtics/Lakers rivalry as an opportunity to bring us back to the 1980s and the days of Magic and Bird.
