Rhymes With Lansing #4 - Melissa & Nick Hammell

Welcome to "Rhymes With Lansing" - a mini-series of podcast shows featuring just a few of the amazing folks that call Lansing, Iowa home. Recorded in the Spring of 2024, these shows represent a snapshot in time of life in one of Iowa's great, rural, Mississippi River towns. Find the intro show to this series here.

Melissa & Nick Hammell are both business owners (and spouses!) on Main Street in Downtown Lansing, Iowa - and so much more. Melissa started Simply Salon several years ago, now located in the same building, above The Safe House Saloon, which Nick runs alongside a crew of craft beer and pizza slingers. 

As anyone that has lived in a small town can tell you (population 951 at last count...) being a part of the community means wearing a lot of different "hats". And my, the hats that Melissa and Nick wear and have worn! From being parents, to running 2 businesses, to being mayor (!), volunteering with the Fire Department, and more. This couple knows what it means to be part of their community. But the best part about small town life - you can be a part of the community too! Listen in to hear about life in Lansing - on this episode of "Rhymes With Lansing"!
