I'm all for Sparrow using the building if they can but if they can't I hope they're at least willing to keep the Penn facing section of the building along with the auditorium and sell it, it'd only amount to about 1.5 acres or so out of the 18 or 19 acres of developable land they own north of Jerome. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1YOgEMiIIMHEYpYrlDRVMc4sdJKh_8O8&usp=sharing
I read an interesting opinion ed. in the City Pulse about saving Eastern. I was surprised to read that the architects for Eastern were the same who designed the Michigan Union and the MSU Union.
It is just another small thing that seems to say "we don't care much about Lansing history" the UofM Sparrow has set up the Santa and his sleigh lights on the ground in front of the south side building, not up on the roof of the main tower where it has been since I was a kid in the '60's. This display has always been pointed out by Lansing parents to their kids "look Santa is coming" as from a distance it really did look like that could be Santa! Oh well I am sure it is cheaper to set it up on the ground.
