Rhett’s Guidebook to Lansing
Must see!
If you are looking for something to do while you are in the Lansing area, Horrocks is a MUST!!! It’s huge and has produce, coffee, popcorn, candy, beer, wine, pizza and so much more. They have a garden area in the back that is open all year round that you can sit down with a drink, order pizza, or get food from the food trucks. Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, it’s still fun to browse around.
