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.

Well that's funny. There was a brief time when LCC swam at East Lansing HS if I'm not mistaken because of the demolition of our pool. Not sure where they swim now.

Smashed (today).

Indeed. Corporate troubles apparently. When you find yourself closing busy stores, corporate troubles.

I will tell you my one concern is that the surrounding area won't properly adapt. Frandor, for example, is a mess to access as a pedestrian from any side - it can be done, but you end up walking along lane edges or through gigantic undesignated mas…

I, for one, look forward to living in the shadow of a monster. (Honestly I do wonder if I will be able to see it from my house. That would be cool.)

Today.

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 remember that mural! One of the first things that struck me about Lansing.

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!)

Wondering about this project. Article from three days ago say state has approved $25 mil in tax incentives: http://www.wilx.com/home/headlines/Tax-Incentives-Approved-for-Dealership-Redevelopment-353216711.html . (The video says, word-for-word, …

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!

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…
