  • I used to utilize the trails almost daily. I loved biking on them instead of roads. It's been years since I've gone on a bike ride. Is there somewhere that has all of these trails on one map? Are they on Google maps? I'd love to check out all t…
  • That's fair enough, you do make some good points. I forgot that it is mostly privately funded. I guess I don't get to Kalamazoo all that often and probably didn't understand the need, or desire, so I appreciate you breaking that down some. Th…
  • This talk has me wondering, has anyone seen the new events center coming to Kalamazoo? How is it they can get something like that and the Lansing Center has stood stagnant for decades? We've got a larger university nearby and a larger population...
  • Yeah, that's a hard no from me if they leave that building. It's such an architecturally significant building by Kenneth Black (I believe) that deserves to be used and enjoyed by the public. I can't tell you how many people I see using it that com…
  • Are those Hobbs+Black designs? I was thinking they were doing the Public Safety HQ, and it just looks like something they'd do.
  • That probably is some sort of metal panel. There are a lot of commercial metal panel products that have different profiles to them. I can't believe it would be just sheets of corrugated metal. That said, some of those panel profiles can look simi…
  • Not sure if anyone has seen the new rendering yet, but here's a story on it with at least one image. https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/the-new-ovation,110395
  • I'm not sure honestly. I mean I see your reasoning...long term maybe but it seems like there is a ways to go before that happens. I don't think density would work on the Westside, but I think its highway access is more significant. As a commuter,…
  • I forget about Boarshead all the time. It is a shame we don't have a better and more prominent "museum, culture and arts" type district. With how much people seem to love Impression 5, it's always amazed me that there isn't a more significant …
  • Is there that much demand on the Eastside of Lansing though? Seems like they have a lot of existing housing that could use improvements before expansion. I definitely don't see the appeal or draw of the area, but maybe it's just an outsiders view.…
  • Yeah, I agree. It's nice variety downtown, but it might not be suited for that market, which is disappointing. I also would guess Old Town is too "high rent" for them. The crowd might make it worth it though.
  • That's too bad. My family and I used to spend a decent amount there, and found some great original stuff. However, most of what I remember is when they were at the Liberman Building. I only went a couple of times when they were I'm the basement o…
  • Yeah, I too had assumed a grow facility because of the blocked up windows, solid doors and chemical placards (common at all the geow facilities) on the doors.
  • So...I have family that is involved on the financing side that has seen the new design. Unfortunately, he did not have a copy to share haha. He's very good about being discrete, so I haven't seen it...I just know there is already something out the…
  • Oh wow, sorry. I just looked back and somehow glanced over that project in the original post. My apologies. I'd been focused on the child development lab, with it being in Lansing, and must've just honed in on that.
  • Has anyone already mentioned this? I don't think I'd seen anything about it...I don't pay for Crain's so I don't get much more than the headline. https://www.crainsdetroit.com/economic-development/michigan-state-university-plans-new-sports-are…
  • I agree with everything said. We shouldn't be lacking benefactors like we are. I'll also say I did away with following lansing reddit because it was so contrary to what I truly believed the community to be. Social media in general regarding Lansi…
  • Yeah, that's always been something I point out to people. Lansing really doesn't have any major benefactors. We've been doing as well as we have been without any wealthy philanthropists, and I think that says something. I also have to point out a…
  • I've done projects on large high schools of similar age. Failing roofs, horribly outdated MEP, failing replacement windows, etc. We regularly are adding AC, replacing a central steam building with new heating, updating mechanical and plumbing, rep…
