Extreme Weather Emergency Tour

An Extreme Weather Emergency Tour press conference to highlight severe weather in Michigan is taking place in Lansing today.

Officials say climate change-fueled severe weather is impacting Michigan, citing the recent May 2025 tornado outbreak that led to an emergency declaration.

The tour is part of a national campaign spanning Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

Mayor Schor, climate experts, and impacted neighbors will speak at the event, scheduled for noon at Lansing City Hall.

Albert El Fresco closing

Students are making their way back to East Lansing for the fall semester, and it's time to say goodbye to a summer community space.

During the summer, Albert Ave. between Grove St. and M-A-C Ave is closed for an outdoor venue in downtown East Lansing called Albert El Fresco.

Now, Albert El Fresco is closing for the season, allowing Albert Ave. to reopen to traffic starting today.
