saw a blurb in the business section today saying that Michigan Brewing will be opening for lunch starting next week (11-2). They cant sell beer yet, but expect to get their license the first week in Sept.
It was surprising that Cooley did want to give out any specific information regarding the project. They were quoted as saying, "We are not discussing the library project at this time. We´ll be happy to contact the City Pulse when we are ready to do so." But if you pick up a copy of their alumni magazine from June, you will see a two-page spread about the expansion of the law library. After construction is finished, Cooley will have the second largest law library in the country.
Harvard claims to have the largest academic law library, while the Library of Congress claims to have the world's largest law library. I'm not too sure where Cooley fits in there at second place, or how they are measuring it: volumes of books vs. square feet (I think Cooley is going by square feet).
The final square footage of the Cooley downtown Law Library should be 100,000 sq ft, including the current building that houses the Law Library. The Town Center Building will be an expansion on to that, but will keep it's two story size.
I hope to scan some pictures of the article and upload them here tomorrow.
Today the fronts are off of Kelly's and the storefront next to Decker's and people are moving stuff into the new place. It looks like Kelly's is finally moving.
That would be really cool if we could get dinner time cruises on the Grand River. I often take people down to the Brenke Fish Ladder to show them places they had never heard of before in Lansing. There are so many things to see if you take the extra step and look around.
Yeah, there were 2 subsidiaries of Irwin Financial Corporation that were closed Friday. They were bought by First Financial Bank. Here's another link with more information, and here is the FDIC press release with all the information as well.
"Auto-Owners Insurance Group plans a $105.3 million expansion of its Delta Township headquarters that would create 800 full-time jobs. The proposed project would involve a three-story, 250,000-square-foot facility on 143 acres it bought along South Creyts Road near Interstate 496."
