📰 News we're reading

• It Looks Like These Lansing Rally's Closed, So I Had to Investigate (lansing730.com) — Two Rally's fast-food locations in Lansing—on South MLK and Oakland—appear to be closed despite posted hours, while the Saginaw Street Westside location remains open and busier. A local writer personally checked each site after Lansing Foodies reports and found no clear explanation or timeline for reopening. If Rally's is part of your routine, you may need to adjust plans.
   

• Lansing police investigating possible serial killer connected to five deaths (cbsnews.com) — Lansing police are investigating whether five killings of unhoused men along a one-mile stretch of the River Trail between Old Town and Kalamazoo Street are linked to a serial offender. Victims, ages 22 to 70, mostly died from head injuries, and criminology experts say the pattern, proximity, and improved surveillance could help investigators identify and catch any perpetrator more quickly.
   

• UM Health-Sparrow hosts Senior Health Series on breast cancer awareness (wlns.com) — UM Health-Sparrow in Lansing used its Senior Health Series to spotlight breast cancer awareness, focusing on risk factors and early detection to avoid harsher treatments. A Sparrow oncologist urged residents to exercise regularly and limit alcohol, and the system is offering free mammograms next Thursday at its mobile clinic in Ionia, with appointments available by phone.
