I do to. I really didn't see any good reasons to demo it, especially since it was physically connected to Eastern. In fact, it'd have made sense for the school district to move there offices there, really. It's also a rather rare occurance, as Lansing has been able to find reuses for almost all of its former school buildings.
Back on the Blue Coyote, next Monday's council agenda does, indeed, show that he's looking to open it up where it was before on Pere Marquette:
a. Setting a Public Hearing for July 6, 2009 on a Project Plan prepared by the Lansing Economic Development Corporation for the Blue Coyote Brewing Company, LLC for property located at 113 Pere Marquette Dr.
It would be pretty neat if more bars & clubs opened up on Pere Marquette that would make for a neat district, especially with some new construction behind Clara's.
They mention that the city of Lansing is "building a 400 car parking deck on the back side of the Lansing Center to accommodate parking for the new market and the convention center." They say it as if it's already been established, I wonder whats going on with that?
The LSJ reported, yesterday, that GM is selling off all of its former sites in Lansing save for the LCA Chassis (the one at MLK and the Grand). This is the first time they've ever identified and formally announced their intentions for the sites. The speculation is that LCA Chassis is being saved for possible future expansion of LGR (Lansing Grand River Assembly).
