OPINION: What Your Lansing Suburb Says About You

I feel like Lansing is the same as Detroit. You wouldn't tell someone from Idaho that you live in Okemos, Michigan. They're going to look at you and say, "huh"? It's truly a struggle, but with that being said. We here in the 517 represent ourselves.

So, we decided to break down each Lansing suburb and rank the towns on what they say about you. These are not fact factual, just opinion really, and let's be honest, each suburb has it's own pre-made known for judgments. (cough, cough Okemos).

What Your Lansing Suburb Says About You

We narrowed down the bigger Lansing suburbs and gave a little spin on what we think living in that suburb of Lansing says about you...

You'll have to let us know how we did. Did we hit it on the head, or too real?

Who knows, maybe these are just stereotypes, or they're true.

East Lansing

You either work at MSU, are a student, or still think you're a student. (You probably also own more green and white than the actual university.)

Okemos

You like your schools to be top rated. Your fancy Target runs. You also act like you don't live near Lansing.

Holt

You always are saying you live just outside of Lansing, but will always say Lansing. We're basically the Bloomfield of Detroit.

Grand Ledge

You probably own at least one of the "Don't Tread on Me" Flags, and can get your friend three different places to get a burger and beer before noon.

DeWitt

You moved for the schools, but ended up staying for the cul-de-sac wine nights. You might also have soccer mom energy.

Delta Township

Wait... aren't you the middle child? What are you doing, getting any recognition? You're included, but not. Right?

Mason

This is where you go for tradition, fairs, and those small town parades. Also own a Carhart, maybe a tractor too.

Diamondale

You love your peace and quiet. Which we also mean, you own your own riding mower and look forward to using it.

Waverly

You're definitely chill. Know where all the good hole-in-the-wall food spots are. You prefer real, not fancy.
