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.

I see, interesting photo. No there is still a Dunham's there, that's why I was confused, but the building doesn't look like that. And "Inovalon", which is probably the "tech center" you're thinking of, is right next door. If Dunham's used to occu…

So this is kind of a random question, but it's development related so I'll risk it - what happened to the McDonald's in Frandor? Used to be a fine place, one of my former students managed there, so I enjoyed seeing her when I dropped in. Then it g…

I just meant that I doubt LBWL can develop sufficient renewables, certainly within their service area, to replace Eckert anyway. Even now the bulk of their renewable's portfolio is landfill-gas generated electricity purchased from Granger. (Which …

In other news... "Dave & Buster's considering Lansing Twp. location "

Why do I have a feeling "use more renewables" and "don't rely on the interstate grid" are two desires greatly at odds with each other.
