Wrote Andy today! I also suggested using the steel frame of the barn to support glass walls and create a Winter Garden/Butterfly House. This would return the area to parkland and be a beautiful attraction for tourist and locals. I think the develope…

Thank you I will write to the Mayor, I was just brainstorming about the City Market thinking about a building that in its self would be a good draw.

It is a great building, I did not remember that is was part of the modern motel they build next door. These days I would like to see them take better care of it. The derelict Y building next door does not help. I was also wondering why the fountain …

I think they could use the steel structure as a base for a Fancy Barn, maybe take ideas from the best Michigan barns or [I know they would never do this] add a bit of fantasy like a storybook design, or even take a look at some of the historic fancy…

There must be lots of people who like the "idea" of the City Market but did not shop there. I can not really understand why anyone would have an emotional attachment to that building, it always made me sad to go in there seeing how empty it had beco…

Sorry for another tree rant! I am sure it has something to do with insurance maybe one day a tree might have fallen on a car! Those trees! so dangerous!
-
Thanks for the history, now that I look at it on google I can see the changes. Now they could repave from Grand Ave to the western end of the highway, then I would think about using it.

Thanks for the info... They have a nice big block long patch of unshaded blacktop with well over a hundred parking spaces for their little building now that all those pesky trees are out of the way. There is still a sign out front maybe it is advert…

It is good news that the diner is not moving, but man! that is going to be a big nail salon. Work at "potential" Pablo's has stopped again. They made some nice looking brick arches in June, but I have not seen anyone working there lately. I wonder…

Now that they are calling the river trail improvements "the big fix" it reminded me of a few years back when they called a project "The Big Fix 496" or something like that, [I did not live here then], I have been wondering just what did they fix? I …

I am hoping that we do not see that pole barn standing there for years while people who say they want to keep it have their way and we all get to subsidize a bar and a 3/4 empty building. After the substation deal [even though that was intera-city …

Very good news! Is Bear Lake in the woods west 127? It looks quite deep on the google maps photo, I wonder if it was a gravel pit or a natural lake? It is so cool that we have a hidden lake in our city.

Let's hope for something more interesting, maybe even nice looking.

I'm very happy to see these drawings, they seem to be doing this right!

It's true this is an isolated area for pedestrians, and stores on Harrison and Jolly are more than a mile from this site so retail would be almost necessary unless they are planning a totally auto-dependent development.

It was an Arby's and I went there some back in college during the late 70's, but I thought the "roast beef" was weird, I did like the hash brown potato squares. Back then this block had lots of shade trees a little bus station and I think the first …

This corner of Lansing always seemed like a good place for development, it is so great to see the hospital have an impact before it is built. I think there where plans published a while ago with a "Northern Lodge" style design, is this the same deve…

It looks like things are rolling towards shovels in the dirt! "no jinx!"

I am sorry to see that some people will lose their jobs, but this whole market and its location was a bad idea from the start. Whatever the city does with that space it needs to add value and actually be used by people. I saw people working on the…

Great news that part of Penn. Ave was very bad! Pave On!
