Well it appears that Microsoft finally added the "Bird's Eye" view for the Lansing Area to the Microsoft Virtual Earth Live Search Maps. We use these maps down here in Houston... they're pretty cool.
Now pretty much anyone should be able to make aerial photos for the development projects.
I thought that they had actually taken the pictures early this spring based on the new growth on some of the trees. Either way its nice to finally have the bird's eye for the lansing area.
I'm really glad they finally got this for Lansing. It will make it a lot easier for me to render things right in Sketchup and visualize an area without having to drive through it.
"Zanders Old Town Brewery"
They plan on completely remodling the building, and adding a taproom. I don't beleive this is supposed to be like a microbrewery with a resturaunt and everything, though there will be a taproom. This should be pretty neat, and it fixes up a nasty, plain building. It is supposed to be done by August of 2008.

This project will cost something like $1 million (according to LSJ.) It will include a pretty decent rennovation of a plain, outdated office building, I had hoped to see get tore down. I posted the siteplan and elevations from the city council agenda packet.
I know Tom is ready for it all to be over with. It's really hurt their business a lot. I haven't been by there in a couple of weeks, so I'll have to stop by and check it out.
I'm not sure if Gillespie has tenants lined up, but he should be doing a highy quality rennovation since he is able to apply for tax breaks. I wish he would add a second floor though.
As for clems, I really like the new facade I just hope that they also replace the storefront. It would be stupid to put that much money in the facade just to leave the old storefronts.
