wow this is a big one

REOtown is not devoid of college students or young people. There are many students living in my building today. There are new shops and restaurants and more coming. Even the housing nearby is being rehabilitated. The gas plant is quiet and not so ba…

There are a lot of negative comments on the facebook page about the developer. I do wish a lot of different companies were putting up new buildings in Lansing, but this is the company that we have and is the one who is actually building. I hope he w…

I sometimes wonder what Lansing would be like if we did not own the power company and we bought it from some other power company. Maybe we would not have to power plants and all the infrastructure that goes with them right in our city. Sometimes her…

Sorry for the tree rant again, but it really looks so bad today you would not believe it. Maybe they are going to build a landing or something there, the plan does not put it over on the GM side. It was a nice green buffer from the industrial landsc…

I think they might have waited for a sunny day to shot that story, I was thinking the same thing.

There is a new video featuring the new Market Place Apartments on lsj.com. It says that is is going to be a restaurant open to everyone there. Maybe it will have a river view.

In tree news, they have cleared all the large trees from the east side of the REOtown sign lot. I think this was on the former print shop property but perhaps this is in preparation for the new hotel. Across the street, on the western side of the ri…

It is really great that they are repaving Walnut and Pine streets. I wish they would just go up and down every street downtown with that milling machine. Capitol Ave is really bad from one end to the other. This may sound unlikely but I wonder if…

There are a lot of what if's. I think that the college could have grown out of the Sparrow Nurses School and created a "college town" along East Michigan and back into the Eastern High/Boys Reform school area. The farms for the college might have be…

It is great to see a project actually getting underway.

They are working even on Saturdays so it seems like they want to get this project done. As I look at the project I am not sure if the cement wall there so far is the foundation, or will the decorative wall be on top of this new wall. The walk around…

I am thinking[I don't know for sure] there is an underground or covered stream that is the Montgomery Drain, that would flow even during dry spells, I also do not know for sure but I think the upswelling you see is the drain outfall from Frandor. It…

I am hoping that the next project Gillespie builds will be better and of more quality than the Marketplace. I think color can be good without looking kind of cheap. I have not seen the 3rd phase drawings in the window lately, but they depicted the s…

I wonder what projects the Mayor is talking about? The changing skyline is very interesting.

I found a book in the library about the history of Lansing, titled "Lansing, Capital, Campus, and Cars". I found the story it presents, of our history very interesting and well written. I found it especially interesting that there was nothing really…

I am not a big fan of the colorful siding, but I think visitors will remember these buildings and think of Lansing as a colorful place. I have not really traveled around much since I moved back to Lansing, so I don't know are they building this type…

I read an interesting article about the economy and why they are closing mall stores and building dollar stores. It seems that the demographic market for higher-end mall stores is not only shopping more online but is also shrinking. While the demogr…

The Great Wall is really starting to take shape, and it's "great" as in big!... The view from river level is now filled with the wall. I am looking forward to seeing how it comes out when I see the scale of this project I am at least "grateful" the …

I read on the Mayor's site that they are slowing down this process to put together a plan that includes the police courts and lock-up facilities. The Mayor thinks and I would agree that all of these issues should be planned before moving forward wit…
