So, we did have (gallery and cultural center) that as recently as 2004 when Boarshead closed. It was the Lansing Center for the Arts & Boardshead Theater complex where they are building the new housing. They've been trying for something like thi…

On that last part, that basically answers my question. If there is no other justification than want of privacy, then there isn't really a justification for keeping this stuff behind a wall. I guess that's something to be brought up with city council…

The Michigan Avenue redo is the worst bait-and-switch I've seen in a long time. It should have been illegal to keep up those schematics on their website if this is ultimately what they ultimately didn't contract for. A larger sidewalk is nice, yes; …

@hood, Your friend was close. CATA announced they will be buying the old Greyhound bus station on Washington a block south of the CTC for their headquarters...which is fitting. lol How they describe it in such grand terms has me a bit confused, a…

Ostensibly, they said it was because the Lieberman Building on Washington wasn't accessible enough. And that was true enough. The central staircase was awkward for the upstairs/mezzanine. In fact, they got a MEDC grant to help with the move. But eve…

@citykid, I noticed the commercial plan review is occurring for the Hillsdale Place townhomes at Hillsdale and MLK. On on the BS&A website, there is a "view" hyperlink. But I've always wondered why this stuff is not publicly available when yo…

Too many dedicated public dollars (local and state) involved for it not to happen, but I don't understand the construction date. I am happy to hear about Albert Kahn, though. Definitely a step above kitschy, low-budget Studio Intrigue-type of design…

No worries!

Yes, it's what we've been talking about in the thread since Tuesday. Looks at Hood's post detailing all of this near the top of the page.

I'm looking at it, now, and it is a bit much. lol I didn't realize it was going to look quite that crowded. Actually, it looks like only the Lansing and East Lansing threads are currently not working for me. The others are staying stickied. Perha…

I like brick; these buildings needn't look temporary and slapped together like so many of them do, these days.

Fortunately, county road commissions have jursidction over township roads, so the township wouldn't have been involved either way. Looks like the conversion of Allegan and Ottawa is happening, now, without waiting for MLK: https://x.com/MI_TCR…

I don't mind, though, I'm still having the issue where the stickies aren't really working. It's showing me the threads are stickied, but if anyone else replies to a non-sticked thread, they replace it in the page order.

Came across this which has been in development since earlier this year. Earlier in the year, Grand Ledge and Oneida Twp entered into a 425 Agreement to conditionally transfer 78 acres to the city along Saginaw Highway just outside/non-contiguous wi…

Pulled it up: Michigan Retail Hardware Association, so a trade association headquarters, which makes sense. They usually have nice little buildings like this. Yeah, North Point surprised me, because I really thought they were just going to tear i…

Oh, on the cleanup on the old Fisher Body plant, the EDC approved acceptance of the grant. The one thing extra we find out from the meeting minutes is that it's being prepped for future manufacturing development, and they say the remediation is a 5-…

Looks like the EDC got a grant for the Barber College at the old redone plaza (North Point Plaza) at Lake Lansing and Larch - it looks really nice! - to move to 4414 South Penn. It's a nice, glass faced modernist building just south of Cavanaugh; I'…

Monkey see; monkey do. lol We'll see what comes out of it, I guess.

The central problem with East Lansing that has shown itself plainly in the last two decades in particular is that it's still a very "small-town"-minded local government. It never grew with the physical growth of the city, and the regular city voters…

Trying to figure out where the child development lab would be in Lansing. As for the MSU Foundation, that's interesting. Techsmith is already there, so it looks like they are trying to create a district. I do like that the uni is finally doing some…
