I have often wondered why the museums which started in those one time industrial buildings as almost a hobby museums, never grew out of those buildings, even while being quite successful. I could see a museum/education/business authority that could …

I noticed the old frat house at the White Oak project was being cleared out, perhaps in preparation for demolition. So maybe this one beginning. I am really looking at the positive news for the Red Cedar project. The drain commissioner has said tha…

I do like that you are brain storming about ideas that would add activity and people to places that are empty most of the time. I think having baseball and softball tournaments at Cooley Stadium would be great way to fill the place with more activit…

I remember that sign. I saw it on visits home back in the 80's? It was a silhouette and the tower was depicted out of scale with the rest of the sky line. It was the only building back then, at LCC that was identifiable as part of the sky line, I th…

I thought it was just a smoke stack for the welding classes, I went to L.C.C. when they built that building, no one knew what is was then either. I'm glad to see it removed, and I would also like to see that rope patterned cast cement removed from t…

I went to the new bar in Old Town "The Grid", I really like the room,the windows are beautiful, they made a very cool space for the bar and the games. I only played the pin ball machines, and was thinking the whole time that I should be putting thes…

It looks like they topped off the Venue building, I think it fits into that space well. The brewery across the street has seemed to pick up steam with more workers there than I have seen, it looks good.

Maybe they intend to keep the ally between the two buildings.

It is still difficult to get a feel for this from these depictions. The east facing facade has no windows, and the "U"' shape seems odd. What is that an air shaft? What is in the middle and then the back building has windows looking into the middle.…

One other note, they painted the new affordable house on Elm Street bright blue, with a red front door. Looks OK. I hope they cover the open space under the house, that would help even more.

Work has begun on the "Under the Bridge" project I noticed the other day. They were starting to paint the murals on the side walls. I was beginning to wonder if this would be one of those things that was talked about that never happened, it is very …

I do like the look of this design, I think this is the Albert Street side, it looks more like the brick faced buildings in the area.They have described it as a two ten story buildings on the radio news, and there looks to be another building next to…

Looks great let's build it!

An interesting article in the LSJ about the fashion industry, and how it is growing here in Lansing. The Runway project is at the center of that growth and success. I find this very unexpected and really great. Lansing is very good at making things …

I think it would be better to redevelop the older north campus buildings like Giltner Hall. While I have no fond memories of some of those older over heated stuffy class rooms where I would struggle to stay awake, I would like to see the older campu…

I saw a PBS program called "Super Tunnel" which was about the building of a new subway line in London, and the challenges they faced. Obviously it is on a much different scale but after watching what they went through to build more mass transit, I c…

I have never really been back there, but on the googlemaps they show a large "s" shaped area of water in the Red Cedar Natural Area connected to the river by a small channel. I wonder is that where they are planning the fish habitat restoration?

I was happy to read in the LSJ about the Red Cedar restoration project that will be part of the overall drain project. I just wish they would get some shovels in the ground before some little someone somewhere has something to say about it. If it tu…

I find that computer generated depictions often do not look very good. This looks kind of dated and basic. I do like that it is not phony looking and I would like to see a depiction that better shows the more contemporary details that are there if …

Story about this project in the LSJ looks like it is going to start soon.
