Looks like they finally started tearing down the Governor's Inn: Vacant Lansing hotel razed to make way for Sonic

Thanks for posting the pictures mindbender. They were great to look at.

I don't know how to upload pictures but the old Kell'ys and Byblo building rennovation and facade update we all hated has taken an interesting change. There is wood in place for awnings and it's been painted and finished to look alot better than it was.

I'll have to make it a point to drive by there later. the way it was looking was pretty disappointing the way it was, any improvements would be welcome.

I was pretty disappointed myself. Today the sign is fully exposed, it's the "Wild Beaver Saloon." The awnings are sheet metal a dark brown almost black facade. Not the greatest look, but I think much better than before.

I was by there, and it is looking better than it was, still not the best though. I think the most important thing to look at here is that a bar/club operator from outside the area chose to invest in downtown Lansing, that says something about the strength of our entertainment district. I hope that more are to come.
