They are going to locate the new "Punk Taco" restaurant in Old Town, not near Frandor. They are not saying where it will be. Maybe in it will be the space, that the Thai restaurant is moving out of at Center Street and Cesar E Chavez Avenue/ North G…

I am sorry to hear Ms. Woods is a conservative, I will try not to let that diminish my view of her too much! I am hoping for a general comity to be the way these folks conduct themselves with new council members and a new major. Why have factions? L…

That is interesting information. Would you say that Ms. Wood has good reasons to oppose development? I just wonder why would anyone oppose development in Lansing? Maybe it was her verse Virg and she will like Andy better. Ms. Wood is always the only…

Thank again it is good to see these photos and confirm my memories. I like the one shot of W Saginaw when it was three lanes.

I guess it was the first on the west side! When I was a kid we really did not go up to N. Cedar very often, except to go to the Northside Drive-In Theater. The one on W. Saginaw had the original little white and red tile clad building with the Golde…

You can find a lot of buildings with the basement or lower street-level storefronts with stairs to an upper storefront level in Montreal. This gives two storefronts exposure to the street in the same building. To build something new like this I gues…

Out in San Francisco, as I'm sure in other places, they have airport shuttle services that will pick you up at your home but also stops and picks up three or four other passengers before heading to the airport. I think that a bus ride sharing kind o…

I wrote today, that was a good catch, I'm glad someone from Ann Arbor was not the one who points that out.

I had not noticed that. Capitol does refer a building and Capital refers to a place as in Capital City. The Capitol Building is in the Capital City, so you are right it should be Capitol Complex because it is the Capitol Building's complex! This is …

I would like to see this translate more into the surrounding neighborhoods as well. The whole area from Oakland north and up Willow could be designated Historic North Lansing. As of 2018, I am sure that many of the homes in that area are over a cent…

Thank you for that information, I had wondered about that private bus running through campus. Compared to the recession, the price of gas is relatively cheap these days, when it was up around $4 a gallon lots of people parked the car and took the …

That is so great that you use your bike so much. Do you ride the streets? Most are so bad. I do see a lot of people using the bike racks on the buses and just riding bikes on S.Washinton Ave. I think part of an overall transportation plan it would i…

It looks like the rehab on the new Good Truckin Diner is beginning. The overhang has been removed and the front boarded up for construction down the street next to the REOtown Pub.

I see, the image is a problem and I agree with you. It's is not what I say, about folks who ride the bus or even the people themselves who do ride the bus. I think it is a stigma from people who do not ride the bus, how would they know who rides the…

I hope my ideas and comments do not come off as bashing CATA. I was kind of brainstorming ideas to increase ridership. Just yesterday I overheard some saying he doesn't take the bus because of the "kind" of people he meets riding the bus. Changing t…

I agree that W.Saginaw is being homogenized into the anywhere USA street to the mall, and it is disappointing to see the local buildings that house local businesses being replaced by national chains and sprawl architecture. I think local zoning and …

The new mayor was on wilx news last night saying that getting the City Hall project underway will be one of his first priorities. He said it will be so exciting to have a first class hotel right across from the Capitol. Looks like he is"all in" on t…

It would seem fairly easy to have through buses that just stop at the transportation center, allowing passengers to stay on the same bus if they want to ride further past the center. I could see routes that go to outlying bus stop hubs and never eve…

This looks like a very positive action. There would not be any reason to do this if not for the development needing this, I'm sure they don't want tiny pieces of their property in different municipalities. I wish they could do this so easily with La…

I drove down Willow yesterday and saw the elevator tower and the first walls of the new apartment buildings are going up at The School for The Blind site. I think it is interesting that these new buildings around town are mainly wood-framed structur…
