It looks like another Lansing restaurant is one step closer to opening.
If you’ve been to Downtown Lansing recently, then you’ll have noticed there’s an update to the business landscape: Sea Leveaux has its signage up!
Downtown Lansing Inc. (DLI) is excited to announce a paid Marketing and Events Internship opportunity for students ready to roll up their sleeves and gain real-world experience in a fast-paced, community-driven environment. Based in the heart of Michigan’s Downtown, this part-time, flexible position offers the chance to work directly with DLI’s Marketing and Brand Specialist and Events and Outreach Manager to help tell the stories, promote the businesses, and support the events that make Downtown Lansing vibrant and unique.

Lansing Public Media Center founding director Dom Cochran likes to call a new membership to the center “the best deal in town.” That is to say, after the introductory all-day class (with a free lunch) and 2TB data card given to members, the center has already lost money.
“We charge the $50 so you feel some ownership, and like you have some skin in the game, right?” Cochran said. “But it’s actually heavily subsidized. We don’t make money off it, obviously. We lose money.”
Some businesses are just about selling products. Others are about building community, championing causes, and proving that success and social consciousness can go hand in hand. Capital Hippie, Downtown Lansing Inc.’s Business of the Month, is in the latter category.
When you think about what makes a community thrive, it’s people like Tony Beyers who come to mind — individuals who don’t just show up, but who roll up their sleeves and help shape the very fabric of Downtown Lansing.
As Downtown Lansing Inc.’s Volunteer of the Month, Tony has become an indispensable part of our community’s success. Whether he’s serving on our Promotions committee or spearheading the popular BrrrCrawl event, Tony brings both passion and expertise to everything he touches.

Opening Day will hit a little differently this year (pun intended). When the gates open at Jackson Field on Thursday, April 2, it won’t simply mark the start of another season. The Lansing Lugnuts are celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2026 — three decades after more than 10,000 fans filled Oldsmobile Park on April 11, 1996.
