If you would like to check out a really cool new urban park that might serve as an inspiration for our Riverfront Park check out Little Island Park in New York City. Of course it was financed by very wealthy folks but I could see something "like" th…

The Graduate Hotel has put up a nice new sign on the top floor facing Grand River, it has a stylish script letters, I believe the hotel is close to opening. I like the look of this building and that is stands out from the others in this development.…

I guess that would be the hotel project talked about several years ago? It seems like a great spot for a hotel. Any building of some height would really stand out on the high bank of the river. I am not down there to report about it anymore, but I …

I may be wrong about this but I believe that they were beginning to pull up some of the black top behind the Red Lobster for the drain project. This is a very interesting project to me, I noticed that the earth scaping in the park looks nearly finis…

That is interesting news, who bought that site?

When we were looking at apartments at the Newman Lofts were shown one that looked out on this area, I asked about the construction that is visible in this photo behind the hotel as I thought it may be the beginning of the credit union building, the …

I guess this will be my last post from on the scene in REOtown, thank God! The heat hot water and one elevator are out again since Friday! Good Bye 1964! Up the street at 1212 S Washington it looks like some sort of project is beginning as they were…

It may be overly critical on my part, however I saw the new decorative lamps that they have put up on the street facing walls of the University Edge buildings. They look really small and out of scale for the space and look like they came from Home …

I noticed that they are renovating the west façade of the old warehouse/pot grow house on Kalamazoo and Hosmer, and I believe that the building being renovated across from Art's Pub is also a grow house as there are co-2[?] signs above the doors. Th…

It looks like a great plan, there is an article about the plans in this week's City Pulse, I like the boardwalk out over the river. I wonder if the removal of the spiral wall from the '70s near Shiawassee is the beginning of this project?

Thanks! The building is named after an MSU architectural design professor and I believe that the extra nice design for this building reflects some of his ideas for urban living.

There are nice displays of wild flowers blooming right now in the Frances Park woods and at Scott Woods/Hawk Island, some kind of rare like trout lilies. Also in Moores Park there are nice carpets of flowers in the lawns on the west side of the wood…

At the Allen Street project on Kalamazoo they are putting up an elevator tower, this project is going to be larger than I was expecting.

I thought I saw the Starbucks Logo on the window, I have not really looked closely as I use the rear entrance to the City Market. With the coffee roasters filling the air with coffee scented aroma and four or five coffee shops maybe we will start ca…

Not that my trials of finding a new place are very interesting, but I decided not to be a part of this "white hot" real estate market, houses in the range I wanted to pay that I was looking at were over priced and pretty sad to say the least, most o…

This is a great building which could really be a destination with the right development. A Starbucks is not really a destination type business that would draw people from other areas. It is strange that they would want open a Starbucks across the s…

I think that is a good idea to bring up again. Perhaps if the feds were paying for most of any transit project like a BRT or light-rail system the folks in Okemos would not oppose such a project. They are building that new town center out there, it …

The have added signage to the tops of the eastern building which they are calling University Edge. Not the greatest name IMO but it looks good. They also put up signage at The Graduate Hotel down the street. The building at the Red Cedar project on …

I think covering over the downtown below grade section of I-496 would be a great idea it's already below ground level. I am not sure they would remove the freeway all together as in the other cities, I think the freeways that they removed were red…

Thank you, I know I will find something and we can always move into my cabin if we have to!
