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…

I think that this depicts the Malcolm X side with the glass structure along Washington. So it seems like the parking lot will be off of M.X. and the building will front all of the Washington Ave. space from the river up. If I am right I like that id…

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…

Now that I see that picture I remember that building, and where it is now. It seems like the Causeway Inn was a Holiday Inn in the 90's. I stayed there once back then to attend my Grand Mother's 100th birthday. It doesn't really matter now! I wish t…

I have seen people with all their belongings walking up Waverly and Old Lansing Road where there is not even a sidewalk. It may be the least accessible area in Lansing. I would think that one of the area's empty school buildings could be converted f…

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…

Of course I did not live here for a long time, but I thought that Causeway Hotel now was the Holiday Inn at what use to called Long's Convention Center, not the Hotel Magneson behind Aldi. I worked at Oak Park Village [Autumn Ridge] back in the 70's…

Sorry I got carried away with the shinny drawings! I agree that this whole thing seems kind of strange and rushed. Considering that fact that they would have to build the new city hall first, and nothing other than a concept has been discussed on th…

I am guessing that facade is copper or brown glass which seems dark to me. The re-hab of the current building is hidden behind the new tower, and looks like nothing of the original design is left, so why save the building at all. The only interestin…

cool look like bugs!

I like this design, and I hope that this building will be the first of more like it in Holt. I think Holt would benefit from a real village center feeling, now it feels like an extension of South Lansing. and Cedar Street. In that area, I have bee…

I agree that there seems to be little said about why are we doing this except the Mayor thinks that the current building is a dump. I also agree that there are many other empty spots, right on Michigan Ave across from the Raddison for example, that …

Thank you I'll check with the folks you mentioned. I was just hoping that there was at least a good reason to cut down so many nice trees. Maybe a building already standing in a flood plan can be redeveloped if it has not been flooded before.
-
I hope that you are right about the river bank stabilization, but the trees the were cut down are on the other side of the river from the river trail, in front of the old Knapp's warehouse that is being redeveloped. I believe that it is private prop…

I know it is an old rant of mine but I walked the river trail over to Potter Park the other day for the first time in a while. I noticed that the old Knapp's warehouse building was still under construction, which looks pretty good. What does not loo…

All very interesting, it is a very flat area I could imagine a grass field airport over there. It is strange that I never heard of this airport, as I grew up near by. Colonial Village and Church Hill Downs were all there when I was a kid. New homes …

I do remember that Pleasant Grove and Holmes was nearly the edge of town, but I had never heard that there was an Airport in that area. I guess it is not quite in the right area but there is the house at 2200 W Mt Hope that looks like it is from tha…

Yesterday I noticed some work had begun on the warehouse on S Hosmer a block off of Kalamazoo. I know that it is going to be a self storage business, but I am hoping they will improve the outside of the building as well. I have been wondering who t…
