Was it "cool" to live out there at one time? I only hear about shootings fires and worse going on out there. I remember when I lived in Mass. watching Spartan games and seeing the ad for Chandler Crossings on the side court ad wall. I checked where …

I wrote to the Mayor as I do not know who is in charge of this alarm. Maybe lightening set it off, let me tell you it is loud in REOtown. "The Dam is Bursting Alarm" is kind of my title, as I really can not understand what it says except the words "…

I was alarmed by the "the dam is bursting" alarm that went off about twenty times last night during the heavy thunderstorm that was passing, and then more after. I can understand if it was malfunctioning, or whatever happened, the thing is the annou…

Reading this article reminds me of the family and the neighborhood connection to our schools was very important, creating an identity a place of common cause and interest. I can relate to this feeling as my Dad went to Barnes Ave and Lansing Central…

The BWL has removed the barriers from the Washington Avenue side of the great wall. It looks OK. It will be nice to use that sidewalk again.

Oh, I thought I had the big news! On my walk today I noticed the new signs in the window. Seems like a good move the building is quite large and has off street parking. I think this may the first time I have heard of businesses moving from East Lans…

The Good Truckin'Diner is very popular especially on nice days and the weekends. It is also very small so will people wait for tables as the food is great. If you were over here on Sunday you would see hundreds of people going the Riverside Church. …

The bar is named "Lucky's " and it's Cory's with a "C" just to be correct! What's good at Cory's anyway? There are always a lot of cars parked there. In hindsight, it would have been a better neighborhood if they set all the new industrial buildings…

Yup, that's the one. This was the '75 flood I believe, which was a really big one. That is a very Mod design for a gas station. I think it would have been a good idea back then to either protect this area with maybe a dike or levee or just move all …

The bar you are wondering about is still there and had recently been renovated and painted all Green and White. It's called The Lucky Strike, I have not been in there but it looks like a sports bar, and may be benefiting from being in the neighborho…

It looks like Greater Lansing is going to have an impressive number of hotel rooms available. There are about six or seven hotels being built now or will start soon. Even as I write that it seems unbelievable. I realize that the further out they bu…

Over at Baker and S Cedar, there seems to be some renovation going on in the vacant brick buildings next to the karaoke rental store. That would really be something if these little old buildings are being repurposed. This block is the only part of t…

I remember those signs, this one was next to Fisher Body on W. Michigan Ave. Artistically it is a nice logo.

That was the only "cool part" of the motel and helped create a higher class looking motel. My little brother Sexton Class of '75 had his graduation party there. The Atrium had the front desk and small rental function rooms along the back of and down…

As an "active 55 plus person," I really like this building and the apartments depicted, but the rent seems high at well over $1,500 a month for the smallest unit. I know it is all about the location but that is twice what I pay in REOtown. It is gre…

We had a "flexible space" at the Civic Center, they could fit a whole three-ring circus in the Civic Center elephants and all. Looking back on it I think we should have kept the Civic Center even if we did build the Lansing Center. I know it was a d…

If you like spotting wildflowers you should take a walk in Frances Park Woods and Scott Woods. I like the trillium flowers they look like tropical orchids. There are many different kinds of flowers blooming this week. Don't miss the show it's only o…

All winter there was no rotary at Beal and Barnes the old one had been removed. This spring they reconstructed a new circle at Beal. I have not been down Smith lately but they had removed a rotary on that street too, maybe it's also been rebuilt. Th…

I'm thinking the equipment is just being parked there and they are using them for the BWL wall. They installed some colorful panels on each side of the "REOtown" sign at the corner. I guess I would call the panels decorative rather than art, but the…

Thanks for posting this info... It seems unfortunate that they are leaving those few homes up there. I think more housing and retail could be built on the blocks between Cedar and Larch maybe a building facing a rebuilt street that is already kind o…
