Grand River to 'Nile of the North'

[dbrok]

Looks like Mayor Heartwell wants to change the name of the Grand River to the Nile of the North : WZZM13

Please tell me this isn't permanent.

Is it April 1st already?

Knowing Hartwell, he may also start calling himself Pharaoh Georgehotep.

Thats cool, but I think its probably for the duration of the exhibit at the Museum Center.

"Heartwell proclaims it's because the Grand River is much like the Nile, since it often floods its banks and has a foul odor.

Fould odor? Yah, often time in Lansing... But I've never had problems with the smell downtown, is there even a smell...?

By the post office and the dam it smells fishy, but I haven't noticed it too much elsewhere. Anyone else?

Heck ya it does! Usually after it's been cold for a while and starts to warm up. That's when it seems to be at it's ripest. It gets bad enough that sometimes i could smell it from my apartment in the hill. Working downtown, i can often smell it.
