On a related note - bunch of flags and a small bulldozer at Saginaw and Abbot. Feel like I heard a long long time ago the city was going to make the little empty parcel there (which they own, was space for potential future yield lane) into a small …

Anybody know of something going on near the intersection of Michigan and Highland? Lots of utility flags in the ground, and on both sides of Highland. Couldn't figure out what might involve digging on both sides of the road.

I was talking with someone with GLCVB and asked them if they were in favor of a casino downtown. They said that officially they have no position, unofficially they want it because it would mean another hotel downtown, which we do need.

I remember that mural! One of the first things that struck me about Lansing.
-
So strange. Feel like the place is becoming sort of another downtown... yet not a downtown, built around a parking lot on the edge of the city.
-
Nice photos there. I do not usually hear people described as "anti-development", but by golly... I live in the Chesterfield Hills neighborhood, and we have quite an active micro social media on Nextdoor. And it is so predictable, anytime ANY new d…

Passed by a Santa display in the window of the former Story Oldsmobile dealership today. Actually a couple guys had just set it up, and I pointed at it as we went by, and they waved. And as we walked on they stepped out and said "figured we may as w…

Construction has commenced! I think. Walked by tonight, didn't take a picture, but a small crane is now erected on site and a scooper already dug a large hole for something. (I cannot think of the proper name for a scooper right now!)

Gigantic improvement to Ranney Park that would be. Was just wishing for a sidewalk back there a couple days ago (but the whole thing is improvement).
-
Made me go back and look at some photos I'd taken of Red Cedar Park after a lot of rain. Your new development plot.
-
Interesting about Ranney Park. As the city does not even keep the grass cut, I certainly have little objection. Wonder if all the apartment dwellers who walk across the park to Frandor will find themselves inconvenienced though.

You all probably know much more about this than me, but doing some work at LCC I learned that (at least for that type of building) once you hit five stories you're considered a "high-rise" and all sorts of additional regulations suddenly apply. Lot…

The Breslin Center upgrades are $50 mil - the entire LCC budget, for everything, is $125 mil per year. I'm not complaining but the contrast is something!

I, um, walk there.

What is up with the Entertainment Express though? I have ridden it a few times and always been the only, or almost only, rider. The vehicle itself has terrible suspension and wooden seats with no cushioning - which wouldn't matter so much if Michi…

Behold, it has been repaired.

OK I'm a big liar! Thanks for the tip.

Noticed a lot of signage staged in the SkyVue area yesterday - here is some electronic signage, there were also some more usual road signs sitting on the ground in the area. Starting construction early? Unrelated?

Wait, where is the hill I need to climb to take a photo of downtown?
