I am not sure of the location. Tim Hortons is a coffee and doughnut fast food resturant. They are very popular in Canada. They seem to be expanding quite a bit (I think one is supposed to be built in Jackson).
I saw construction I think near the Taco Bell on Cedar (across the street but can't remember how close/far down). I assume that that is where you mean it is being developed? Maybe next to the Blockbuster? If so then no, its not in a mini-mall or near the Jolly intersection. Closer to Cedar and Northrup I think.
" Other Tim Hortons Restaurants projects in progress:
* Martin Luther King Boulevard in Lansing, Michigan - August 2007
* Waverly Road in Delta Township - August 2007
* Dunkle & Jolly in Delhi Township - August 2007"
I've driven by many a Tim Horton's in my day, but I've never actually stopped to eat at one. Now I'll have little excuse, as I'll drive by one everyday.
Lmich is right, the Cedar store is being built right next to Fazoli's. The Jolly store will be on the vacant land between McDonald's and the strip mall on the SW corner of the Jolly/Dunckel intersection.
It will be interesting to see how they do here. They've slowly been working their way west after expanding into Michigan along the border. Until these are open, the closest one to Lansing is in Owosso. I'm in Canada visiting family a lot, and they are more common there than McDonald's. Most of my family lives in a town of 30,000, and there are 5 Tim Hortons stores in the city. I'm not expecting that, but I'd like to see them survive. I'm really looking forward to the sandwiches. Not big on donuts in general, but I LOVE their crullers and the Timbits too. :-)
There are a few more facade improvement projects happening in downtown Lansing. The flat exteriors have been torn from the second stories of the Kelly's and Byblo's buildings on the 200 S. block of Washington, revealing what's left of the original brick facade. With similar work happening across the street above the comic shop, that could mean the rebirth of all of the buildings on that block.
Further down the street on the 300 block, there's a building permit posted in the window of The New Daily Bagel, signalling that, perhaps, the building owner there too will remove the drab covering of the second story of that building.
The "comic shop" building is converting the second floor into loft apartment(s). I can't remember if there are one or two going in. They're also remodeling the ground floor level to include a garage in the back. While this will take some of my good friends storage space in the back, he doesn't mind so much.
Those lofts above the comic shop are being marketed as for-sale condos, too, which is interesting. I don't know of any others on Washington (although there are some over on the 600 block of Michigan near the mission).
