    They really need to move the baseball and softball fields away from the floodplains along the river.

    There was a story in todays LSJ about the possibility of a new particle accelerator at MSU. This would be a huge project, and MSU has a good chance at landing it. If MSU wins, isotope project could add jobs, impact region

    I saw that too. I have already e-mailed Sen. Stabenow, Sen. Levin, Speaker of the Michigan House and majority leader of the MI senate and a couple state and U.S. reps from MI encouraging them to get behind this and pull whatever political strings they can to make sure this happens. This decision will definitely be a political decision to some degree, so I encourage everyone on this site to contact the same politicians. MSU is legitimately a front runner for this so we need to make sure it happens. This would be a major addition to MSU as well as mid-michigan--jobs, construction jobs, prestige for MSU, etc. etc.

    I should also mention that the origional cost for this was supposed to be $5-$6 billion. That seems like a more realistic cost for this kind of project, unless it's a completly different project.

    Also announced today, MSUFCU donated $2.5 million to the Wharton Center, and they have broken ground on the $18.5 million dollar project at the Wharton Center. Here is a link to the article at the State News website: http://statenews.com/index.php/article/2008/05/msufcu_donates_25m_to_wharton

    well, i still hate chemistry, but the building addition doesn't look bad.

    It makes the building a lot more imposing. I think that's mainly because of the overhang at the top, and how close it is to the sidewalk and the road.

    Here's a very interesting story about Broadway shows coming to East Lansing: Broadway's Love Affair with East Lansing

    I had always just assumed that shows like the Lion King were normal to have in a city the sized of Lansing, I figured that Detroit, Chicago, GR, ect.... all got their own shows. I had no idea how special the Wharon Center is, Wharton getting Broadway shows is truely impressive.
