Thanks for an interesting post. As it is built in a desert one would think that they could have planned a better street grid across the flat desert landscape. I guess the private developers wanted each casino to be an island where people would spend…

I wonder how it all seemed work pretty well before the pandemic, the opinions about the oversite of home workers were mostly from the artical I read. I think that our capital city deserves something besides empty buildings and parking lots from the …

I read an LSJ article on my free MSN feed that the Chamber of Commerce is seeking information on returning state workers to downtown buildings. I have to wonder why only 37% of the workers have returned to state office buildings, and the state has d…

There is an artical about a new shelter opening soon at 322 Townsend Street near Rutter Park. Looks like a good place for people in need. It is kind of cool that the building does not look like a shelter, a nice place to find help. I hope they will …

I think WLNS has some depictions on their web site, I am impressed by the scale of the buildings, which are large and have some interesting design to them, rather unusual for Lansing. I saw a report on this project also on wilx.

Wow check-out the proposed new plans for MSU's big "Sparta" development on the south side of campus. There is a LSJ.com artical today on-line. It looks pretty grandiose for our community! I can't quite figure if those new buildings are going to towe…

I did speak with a woman from the owner's family; she told me the police had to contact the owner of the tower to change anything. I spoke with an EL fireman inspecting our apartment, he said that the store owners were in charge of the tower, the ci…

The fencing at those lots has been up for a while now, nothing really happened after that. Nature is reclaiming the area with a lot of flowering plants [weeds] taking over the bare ground. It would be great to see those lots have perhaps some afford…

Thanks for the information, it does make sense to plant a variety. I grew on the west side of Lansing in the '60s and '70s, most of our area around Quentin and Frances Park had huge American Elms lining the streets. It was really terrible to see tho…

Yesterday I noticed that nearly all the trees planted along E. Michigan Ave are budding leaves, which was good to see that the harsh winter did not kill the small trees. I think it is interesting that they choose so many different trees, most curbsi…

It is too bad the light rail is something that probably never happen here, I believe that once the trains and infrastructure are in place, the cost per passenger would be far less than a bus. Mabe CATA should send Uber rides for on demand rides, pay…

Today I saw signs of construction re-starting on the longest rehab on Grand River, the building next to the Jackson Building has new metal cladding on the walls a roof facing the alley. Do you think it is the same people that started this years ago.…

I think if the feds. had kept the tax incentives the sale of EV's would have grown stronger rather than declining, the artical remined me about the end of the incentives. I have a gas-powered vehicle which many people still preferred before the oran…

I do like the depictions, I would rather see less corrugated metal panels, and more wood details, to me that would be a more Scandinavian look. I often hear negative comments about Lansing; I grew up here with probably had the same thoughts when I …

Today I read a couple of articles about GM's plans for the Grand River Plant. I believe that they are ending the CT5 Cadillac, and replacing it with another Cadillac coupe, a Buick four door sedan, and a next generation Camaro. I think [ didn't writ…

My land up north in Iosco County has a fast-flowing stream Stewart Creek that is joined by Hoppy Creek which runs from a little spring feed lake called Hoppy Lake, there are beavers in the area although not really one my land, they build dams upstre…

Thanks for posting this picture! Now we need one of those little lumber jacks.

I wonder why my degree from MSU did not lead to being a Millionaire? I guess I should have been a packaging major. This building looks like they will include engineered wood lumber for its construction. this depiction looks like the Multi-cultural …

Thanks for the discussion, my last thoughts about this area are that honestly, I would like to see any kind of development there, Industrial or housing, the wedge of land between Larch and Cedar would be a good place for a Target or Meijers with hou…

This would be exactly the kind of development that the South Side needs, modern housing with contemporary infrastructure [the design could be improved] that would be far better than the 60 to 70-year-old ranch houses of that area. It seems like the …
