  • They had the parking garage and sidewalk back toward the MSU Student Family Housing construction open today, I noticed.
  • LPD "functionally obsolete". Reminds me I was walking to catch a bus downtown a few months ago and came across someone laying on the sidewalk... just homeless I think, but after walking another couple of blocks I figured perhaps I should do somethi…
  • You know when our own church (which is on the outskirts of East Lansing in a neighborhood area) was considering erecting a playground (because we have a billion kids there), I remember someone saying "and we could put a fence around it so the neighb…
  • Have no idea what the name of this development is, but the construction by the original Biggby in EL looks almost done.
  • (Unless the guy made all this up, of course. But I don't know why he would. He showed another passenger a business card supposedly with who to contact to get in on that sweet $11/hr.)
  • Sure, but what surprised me - maybe I wasn't clear - is that the union is apparently paying random people to stand on the line with them to make the protest look bigger.
  • Was waiting at the Frandor bus stop this morning and somebody biked up who had apparently come from the SkyVue protest line and shared that they were paying takers $11/hr to stand on the line with them! He had decided he wasn't dressed for it today …
  • PS gb - one thing I've read time and again is that America is suffering from a pilot's shortage, and that's one of the reasons these smaller flights are getting cut. People retiring and it takes a lot more flight time to get certified to be a pilot…
  • I've been on-the-watch for cheap weekend flights to Cincy lately and have been finding LAN<->DTW<->CVG cheaper than DTW<->CVG. Don't ask me why. But my wife, who flies more often, said "yeah, flights out of Lansing are cheaper ag…
  • Yeah, I actually think I'd rather the city put a sidewalk there - and actually if there was I would probably bike on the sidewalk rather than in the road (which, last I used it anyway, is also all chewed up near the shoulder). But certainly an impr…
  • I believe the little guy you see on the right is on the 8th floor, by the way.
  • Up up up. Maybe strange, but I've been all focused on how tall the thing will be, was really struck today by how big it will be in the horizontal dimensions as well.
  • Up up up.
  • Have had exactly that thought gbinlansing - there is actually, already, a ton of great stuff to do in Lansing, but it's all over the place. Put it in one spot and that would make one awesome downtown. Unfortunate that we have so many poles (with n…
  • As someone who lives in a nice neighborhood just about a mile from downtown - golly. At one point someone in the neighborhood pointed out that the city's master plan suggested four story buildings near the Harrison/Michigan intersection (hardly a c…
  • It's interesting because the bank used to fly "Don't Tread on Me" flags, and the front had a nice fountain with a large plaque with an extended Bible quote on it. Neither is especially controversial but I do wonder if they aren't in part seeking a …
  • Apparently when a tweet has more than one image things get funky. Let's try that again.
  • Some minor/major renovations happening at First National Bank of America. I say minor because it looks like they won't change the appearance of the building all that much. I say major because construction has already been going on for months.
  • Some stuff in the ground now.
  • Don't know - walking by it rather often as I do, it certainly looks like a call center. The biggest collection of cubicles you have ever seen, my friends.
