"Capitol Lounge, a long-standing dive bar known for its affordable prices and strong ties to local communities and events, is closing after 26 years. Despite efforts to adapt to pandemic conditions with takeout, delivery, and an outdoor patio, the bar couldn't survive. It was a popular spot for locals and college sports fans, offering weekday specials and hosting Michigan State University Alumni Association events. The bar also engaged in community support activities during the pandemic." - Tierney Plumb
