I was happy to see the rain gardens being installed along streets outside of Frandor. What a nice change this is all going to be. There is also a "fancy" new pot shop open just across from Sears. They were having a festival out back with vendors mus…

I took a look at the Lake Trust site and saw the depiction on the new signage, it does not very much like the depictions above, there seems to be a lot of the former cement façade included, it did not look "bad" but it is not all glass and light, so…

I am impressed with these drawings, and there are no dated flat slab rooftop features! I will have to go take a look, but the drawings have City Hall signage depicted, I was just wondering if this was a hint that City Hall is moving or just a hopefu…

That is very interesting news about old West Junior, I used to attend advanced art classes in that building. At that time they called it The Academic Interest Center, and students from all over the district could take classes that were not offered a…

I do have to wonder about their leadership. It seems the need for storage businesses is unlimited in the area. I can not understand why they would just be so complacent and seem to not really care about what is built on this huge piece of land. The …

I am writing about this here because I don't know who to call or write about this. There has been a high pitched alarm sound going off in downtown E.L. 24/7 since the power went off after the storm the last week. It is so loud that I can not sit ou…

I had a thought that the difference with the lower numbers may be related to right wing antigovernmental propaganda that was out there at the time which convinced some people not to respond to the census. I could see 16 hundred of those type of fol…

I went out to West Lansing yesterday, via Michigan Ave, I saw that demolition has begun on the Sparrow building that was once a potato chip factory near 8th Avenue. I also noted that construction fence has been put up around the whole block of 500 …

So far only some digging in the former parking lot, the city is installing new curb cuts and utility poles for the traffic and pedestrian crossing signals there, I am hoping it will not be a voice animated crossing signal like on Grand River and Abb…

I remember reading about a fountain "wall" with faces of local people spouting water, and other features like a floral clock. It will be very cool to see when [if] those features are installed.

The hill there is an interesting feature of the landscape in that neighborhood it helps to make it very nice area. It makes for a good walk too. I was thinking it could be sand or gravel deposit from the glaciers as there are several sand pits/mines…

There is also a short video on the University Edge leasing page that gives a 3-D view.

I came across an interesting fact about Professor Newman, the fellow for whom the building is named. Perhaps some may already know this, but I was looking through a history of East Lansing book and found a photo of the home he built in the early 19…

The University Edge building are looking pretty good with the finishing work on going, I like the awnings they give a contemporary boost to the look to the buildings. They have planted a lot of landscaping, I hope the plants and shrubs will soon cov…

I am wrong in thinking that Frandor's parking lots are going to be renovated for better drainage? It seems to be a patchwork of repaving small areas being done right now, and they are using regular asphalt by the looks, nothing like permeable pavi…

I took a look at the Aurelius Road project and was a bit surprised to find it is more of a rebuilding project rather than just repaving. There were some very large cranes on the bridge so some heavy work is being done. That will be nice to drive tha…

The construction fencing along Evergreen and behind the church was removed today. They did a nice job on the area, some trees along there would be nice too. I guess the street is open, but may close again when the big projects begin again. I believe…

I noticed the other day that they have installed the windows and doors on the ground floor of the "University Edge" buildings on the east side of the development. They look good, seems like there is going to be a lot of retail space[for these days] …

Has this renovation taken place, or is it just a rendering? I have not been over that way. There was an interesting article in The City Pulse about the group renovating the "City Market" pole barn. It gave me a little more hope that this will be …

Today the construction of the credit union building seems to be beginning, but some of the work may be the sidewalk handicap curb cuts project. At any rate they are pulling up pavement at the corners that seems to have been just recently laid. Take …
