Hello! Welcome to the Okemos Wiki. When my family and I moved to Okemos in 2017, we found so many things to love about the area. It was sometimes difficult, however, to find the stuff that we were looking for, because not everything is available online. Despite living here for many years, I am still regularly finding new resources to add to my lists, so I decided to start posting some of my lists on this wiki as a reference.

This is not Wikipedia, so the information on this site will be less formal, but it is important to me that the wiki maintains a neutral point of view ¹⁾. I will post a list of guidelines if the need arises. Additionally, this is a free site, so no individual nor organization can pay to be on a list or show up in a certain position on a list. For the most part, lists will be alphabetical, unless it makes more logical sense for the list to be organized otherwise. When lists are broken up by city, however, Okemos will often be listed first because this is an okemos-based site.

In the spirit of wikis (which are meant to be collaborative), I will soon be inviting others to help me build this wiki by adding new lists and/or updating mine. If you are interested, please email me for more info. It's okay if you don't know how to use the formatting syntax; I can either show you how or edit it later. If you have any other suggestions, comments, edits, ideas for lists, etc., please email me those as well! Thanks!

Your neighbor,

Here are some of the pages that are currently being put together, which will also serve as examples of what types of pages I am working on. There will be some mundane pages, like a list of all the grocery stores in the area. There will also be some random, but area-specific pages like “local tipping practices”.

• Local Schools (K-12)
  • Local Preschools
• Groceries
• High Speed Internet Options

• Local Restaurants
• Local Restaurants with Private Rental Spaces
• Local High Speed Internet Options
• Local Tipping Practices
