A 14-foot-tall latex Godzilla stands inside the gate at the Mahoning Drive-In Theater. It's been there since 2023. A sign in front of it says, "Godzilla - lovingly crafted by Jason Beat & Riggz Miller." It's equipped with light, fog, and sound features for when the theater plays a Godzilla movie. They let you touch and hug the statue.
Watching a movie with Godzilla is pretty special for any fan.

There is a steam powered clock in downtown Lansing near the river, across from the convention center. It was placed there in 1997 by the Rotary Club of Lansing and is supposed to chime on the hour, but while I was there it did not chime, so it might be temporarily broken. It is still interesting to see.

We had the opportunity to visit this unique crypt under the amazing chapel at the U.S. Naval Academy. We traveled with a tour group that was offered through the visitors' center, but you can also book tours on the USNA website and be guided around by a docent who is well-versed in Naval Academy history.
