There are new depictions of the new building on LSJ.com, they look somewhat better than earlier versions. Much less prison/warehouse like!

A large crane is at the south end of Spartan Stadium for the dismantling of the 11-year-old! score board which seemed to work pretty well to me but is ancient in terms of technology. I guess. I am hoping to able to watch the game on the new jumbo sc…

When I read 2 or 3 years from now for most every project that is planned for Lansing it makes me crazy. How about paving E Michigan Ave in front of Frandor tomorrow, that would be a good place to start.

It looks to me like a nice theater or auditorium would be an easy project to build with the foundation of the seating already built. I still cringe when I take the time to look at this, what a shame it was to tear the theater down. I sat in that bal…

I noticed a new welcome to Lansing sign on Dunkel at Collins. It is nice looking different from a Highway type sign, with several different panels three of which say "Health and Innovation Corridor" a rather unusual title imo I had to look at it twi…

The new windows are being installed at the MSU Museum, and Campbell Hall. The windows are architecturally correct muti-paned glass that seems to be a little wavy like old glass. [ I could be wrong about that] Anyway they look great. They are also pu…

I have been hoping to hear that this big project was actually going to happen, it is a relief to hear that it really is going to happen. Seems like our country has a lot of crazy people in charge, so you never know. I like the depiction of the new b…

I am also impressed with the new building; it is a rare case in Lansing of "nicer than it had to be". It's great to see a company showing some civic pride. I have been wanting to try the new restaurant in the train station, I have not heard much ab…

It will not surprise me if the mayor thinks it is a good idea to cap a portion of 496 that that would be a square of grass and some trees with a plaque with a picture of what used to be there. As a person whose family was very much affected by the c…

I don't get down to Detroit often and I did not know that they had covered some of the freeway downtown, or was that the concept drawings, it really looks like grassier version of the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. It may be expensive but not impo…

Perhaps you meant Sec. of Transportation! We have talked about topping 496 for a while now, maybe someone has been listening! My dad's service station at Logan and Main was one of the first properties they took over and destroyed. It was very traum…

GM made sure to put an end to the reasonable and reliable street trolleys and street cars, my dad used talked about taking the Inter-urban out to Lake Lansing [Pine Lake].

Wow these pics take me back. I Remember these views very well. Note there is no greenery anywhere! another East Coast refinance for a pedestrian and vehicle use street is in Provincetown where the main street Commercial Street is a narrow one-way st…

I was looking at google maps for a possible pedestrian way from the Motor Wheel area perhaps to the river trail along May Street or Monroe Street. Maybe a wide sidewalk along Saginaw Street with some sort of protection or separation pillars and a fo…

The top floor of the MSUFCU building downtown is being prepared for occupation which I can see from my patio. I believe with the MSU Museum leasing also renting a floor that the building is fully leased out. Perhaps this is a good sign that business…

thanks for posting the pics, I think the new MSU buildings are attractive contemporary and fit into the campus landscape. I have enjoyed watching their progress.

The new "I-M" going up on Harrison is quite the impressive building, the exterior facades and glass works are going up and it looks like it will be a nice looking very modern and interesting building. It resembles the "1855" building on Kalamazoo in…

I agree of course, it is better just not great. I wonder if when finished the new street will help getting all the vacant spaces and buildings fixed up and rented, between "M" Sparrow and Collins there so many poorly maintained houses and buildings.
-
I know the project is not finished but the new Michigan Ave improvements are very basic. I love the new paved street but, there are no finishing touches on the sidewalks like brick work or even textured patterns in the cement. Right now, what really…

thanks for your interesting post, I am hopeful that these ideas will come to be, and it is very nice to hear hopeful and positive thoughts about the future. What I am really worried about is what is going to happen to the price of Labatt Blue if tha…
