Actually, I declined that speedy deletion request, because the article wasn't a blatant ad. It sort of reads like an advertisement, though, so you might want to reword the article or expand it so it sounds less like advertising. And, actually, the district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "North Lansing Historic Commercial District", so I'm sure there's some good history that can be added about the area. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 22:04, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
