One of the Engineering College advisors (Garth Motschenbacher) sells concessions at the game too. I had to do a double take when I saw him the first time, because he was wearing one of those crazy foam food hats!
Its on the south side of Michigan, I think the first building west of the train tracks. I'm still not clear if they are adding a second floor to just the one storefront or to more than that one. Here's a pic of the building from the assessors site:
But it also looks like it could be the same building as the one next to it, given that they share the same decorative bricks at the top and the same recession about 2 feet from the roof.
NioWave in the old Walnut Elementary School has announced that they will be expanding, and expect to grow from 20 employees to 50 by the end of the year.
I actually think that N Washington/Capitol is a better lotaction for a performing arts center. It would help this area so much more than it would help the south side of downtown, which is already rebounding quite well. There needs to be a major project on or near N Washington to get things rolling and what could be better than a performing arts center.
Also, just to remind everyone this years first Cruisin' the Gut is tomorrow from 3-10.
I'd like to see another (non-bar) entertainment venue downtown, like a movie theater. Something to get people downtown and hanging around, like they would before and after a movie. I can't think of a location where it would work though...
What Lansing really needs is a decent music venue. Mac's gets some stuff, and the Temple Club did too, but Lansing gets avoided when it comes to decent music. I know one reason is that Detroit and GR are so much bigger, but I think another BIG reason is that there's isn't a decent venue anywhere outside of MSU's campus (Wharton/Auditorium). I mean MSU has gotten bigger acts on campus in the last year than any of the bars/clubs in the whole city of Lansing.

^^ There is an article today about the growing amount of people downtown and some of the new businesses coming in.
