Some of my friends in GR showed me this and it's similar to Googles...maybe there's a way in google to change it, but Microsoft's has different angles. The link is kinda weird, but it should get you there.
Yeah, I've seen Microsoft's birds eye view and it is pretty cool. Especially for getting an understanding of what a site looks like in the view. Having all of these views (the birds eye view, the street view, the satellite view) all are really nice for looking at locations that may be new to you or are outside of your range of transportation.
Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing apparently and something weird happened when I posted the link. But if you copy/paste the top portion of the link it still takes you to the site and then you can just type "Lansing MI" in and get there.
There was a blurb in the LSJ print edition today on the Daily Bagle facade work but I don't see it on the website. It's short enought I'll type it here (there was a nice color pic in the paper 6D):
"New view: Work crews Monday were expected to warp up most of the masonry work that's left The New Daily Bagel, 309 S. Washington Sq., obstructed by scaffolding. The original facade had been covered for years, until crews recently removed a metal sheathing. The New Daily Bagel has remained open during the construction."
Anyone have any idea what's going on at the Cooley building? (The one with the facade that has the greek columns-on Capitol Ave.) There's been cranes there for a while and I haven't mentioned anything on here before cause it just looked like they were putting stuff on the roof...but the cranes are still there, and I'm curious...you think just boring stuff like new air conditioning system or something?
This sounds nice, I wonder how likely anything will really happen in the near future that would be noticeable, but it's good to hear people are working towards something. I liked the picture, nice shot of some Mich Ave. businesses that look great.
DBI's facade work is in full swing with alot of new brick up it appears.
Well I believe the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority was responsible for the historic lighting that was put up along Michigan Ave. Some of these small changes look really nice, and hopefully more of them will help to make it look nicer. I think in the big picture is turning the corridor more towards a mass-transit. I would like to see a bus-HOV lane.
