most people I choose to hang out with are aware of this little college in East Lansing.. they've usually heard of it.

I lived in East Lansing for 10+ years and now I live in Holt. Either way I always said I was from Lansing, but I guess I didn't feel the need for people to know that I was associated with the prestige of East Lansing. Although, ironically many in the surrounding areas rip on East Lansing and Okemos for being the same kind of snobs that you mock for going Up North.

No, because those properties look very neglected and attract lower-income people.

That doesn't sound like anything someone from a prestigious town like EAST Lansing could be involved in. But someone like me might consider doing something like this.

Vintage steel deck grating from Mackinac Bridge

4 hours in the Big Mac bridge area with little kids - Page 5 8676_51_1

Section of original steel grating from the Mackinac Bridge deck. Selling 7 individual, identical pieces of grating separately. THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE PIECE. Pieces are approximately 5 1/2 feet X 38 feet and 5 inches deep. Condition is used with corrosion and section loss appropriate to steel that is 60 years old. Each piece weighs about 2 tons.
Grating was originally coated with lead based paint. Much of this is gone, but Buyer will have to sign a "Hold Harmless agreement" related to the lead paint and the structural condition of the grating. The Hold Harmless agreement is an attachment to the auction ad.

Seller agrees to cut the grating section into two shorter pieces for ease of shipping if desired. Price of this one cut is included in the bid. No other cutting or manipulation of the grating will be done by the seller.

Dad co-piloted B-17G's 35 missions to Germany. Remember him talking about the Bridge stunt. He thought it was cool as hell.
