I only remember that is was always there and it must have been nothing too remarkable. I would look for pictures of the State Theater that might include the building which was next door. I asked on the other page and yup they finally did it! Yea!

google chrome, I guess it is just me I will go around it and try to clear that notice.

I can any hope that the folks in EL government will learn something from this long lesson.

I have thought about this area as well. I think surface lot owners should be required to fence and landscape all downtown lots. Empty or unused black top should have to be pulled up and replaced with grass after a certain time empty . Make developin…

It would be good if they could do more with the building itself. It still looks like a warehouse, and the art work on the outside walls needs to be improved, or re-done. I do like the exhibits inside. A nicer looking building and landscaping maybe w…

I do not know it there is enough room at these four corner intersections, and I know it's all "euro" and all but traffic circles or rotary's slow but generally do not stop traffic and are much safer for pedestrians and bikes. People live on streets …

They have also planted new trees on Ionia street. It is really great to see these trees planted now I hope they will water and take care of them.

I noticed the new Clock Tower on the LCC campus is nearing completion. They have yet to install the clock faces, but so far it looks really nice and is a great improvement over the smoke stack/guard tower that was there for so long.

I have a good tree story for once! They have planted new trees in the empty spaces downtown along Kalamazoo Street by the Library and Cooley. That is the first time I have had good news regarding our trees. Yea!

This corner, and at Larch there should be some sort of pedestrian protection. Has anyone ever considered making these street two way again. I would guess not, but our downtown area has changed a lot since these one way street were made that way, it …

I really think in may be time to think about slowing down the traffic on our downtown cross streets. How much longer would it take to get across town if the speed limit was lowered? Our corners should not be dangerous.
-
It seems kind of strange that they are going so far as to put on a show of the designs when this is far from a done deal.
-
I think these developers should be building some services for what will soon be even more people living downtown. Maybe they could get someone like Horrocks to run the city market and fill they place with merchandise and people.

That is a LCC lot, the "YMCA" pillar is on the other corner, it all looks very nice. I wish the city would require this sort of landscaping and anti-pollution surfaces for all private surface lots in the downtown area. LCC has made it's part of Capi…

I heard on local news that they are going to put a parking lot there! They said to add parking while the new building up the block is being built. This sounds like a bad idea to me, and would seem to indicate there won't be anything built there for …

I like the black brick too. Over on Michigan the "Avenue" building looks better than the drawings as well. I am growing use to the colorful sidings on these new buildings but if you get up close they do look kind of cheap. The "Skyvue" building come…

The City Pulse has a good take on this city hall issue. Basically saying that the mayor is moving numbers to fit his reasoning. That remodeling the current city hall would not be as expensive as the mayor is saying, and the cost of a new city hall w…

Maybe the ghost is named Chapelle. They really should do some sort of purification ceremony at that site, burn some sage or something, get rid of the bad karma and start over and build something even better.

Right now, there are a lot of people living downtown. There are large apartment buildings and lot of single homes along the near west and north sides of downtown. Capital Commons is huge, there must be hundreds of people living there alone. But ther…

It's true they emptied the whole near west side neighborhood for the "Capitol Complex" and have yet to fill that space, and when the state did they built buildings that form a walled off fortress that do not engage downtown or the west side. I think…
