There is a Stadium District thread where you can post about this area.

I am sure that most people who read this would know, but I just subscribed to the archives site of the Lansing State Journal. I was looking for stories about my older brother, he was a great athlete at Sexton in the early 60's. On the site you can l…

You put it very well. I was reacting to the story as it seemed to be a done deal, and at least they were planning to use the current building. I was looking at the LSJ building just yesterday, and there really is not much to it, other than a nice sa…

I agree that LED lights are good for lighting streets more brightly, I can see some of them on Elm Street, what I like about them is there is no light going up, over the lamp. When it was snowing the other night it was totally black above the lights…

I am very happy they are choosing to keep the current City Hall building. It is going to be so cool to see that corner come alive. I agree that the Mid-Century modern look should be a part of the rooms and public spaces. It will be interesting to s…

I was very happy to see so many new trees are being planted all over downtown and through our parks, even in parks that have a lot of trees already like Moores Park and Potter Park. Also in the good news for your car, N. Washington Ave has been repa…

I am hoping that these funds could be matched or added too with money from the county parks and trails tax funds. I think that the river trail and river front are good as they are but some investments in the infrastructure and just general appearanc…

There a story about the private/public plans for the downtown riverfront on LSJ.com. They used ideas from the "Penny for you thoughts" campaign. It sounds very exciting and will really make our river front a great asset to Downtown.

Great, thank you! If they can see over 496 this building could have some good downtown skyline views.

I have yet to hear about the Jackson National plans for downtown river front improvements. I just saw this "tune in at 11" short story saying they were having a meeting. I did not tune in at 11 so I missed it.

Wow! I go by this building on my back way to Michigan Ave all the time. I have to say it is an unexpected place to develop into housing. There are tiny pieces of the old neighborhood around this building but it is kind of isolated location. But hey …

I saw a brief report on the local new about Jackson Insurance planning to spend a million dollars on river front improvements from the Cherry Hill boat ramp to the fish ladder! I did not see anything reported today as of yet. Has anyone heard of thi…

I like that Mich seems optimistic about this one too, and maybe once Virg is out of the picture things will go a lot more smoothly with our neighbors. He displays some of the same traits as this guy in D.C. who is in the news a lot insulting people.
-
I am hoping they develop this area in a more urban, less suburban style. I am thinking of the area behind Eastern H.S. that was the last large in city space to be developed. While the houses look nice it really looks out of place in the middle of th…

The state owns the street thing seems like they[the city] are making a poor excuse, I drive through small towns where the state highway is also the main street. Does the state plant and maintain those trees and flowers? I think the state would allow…

Well thank you. I did fully understand what they are doing. It was just a bit shocking to see the entire area under construction, which I also knew was going on. Just like the substation I'm sure it will be beautiful once it's done.
-
I was at the downtown Post Office and noticed that they have removes all trees on the west side of the Capitol for the geo-thermal heating project. Just a thought but why did they have to do this directly behind the building? There are so many acres…

After reading the post the theater was part of the original 20th century building. Very interesting thanks for posting it.
-
Great photo find! This is from the 1956 based on the cars and the movie showing, also the 100 Grand River building has not been altered. It is interesting to see the facade's stone work that looks like the theater matched the building next door, but…

This plan looks really good. I also think projects like this reusing old buildings are more interesting than building something new. This near northwest side of downtown has a lot of people living in the area and there are really no services at all.…
