I agree I guess I was thinking of the people who spent years and a lot of money on the Old REO building in REO-town and another on East Michigan that closed. Good food and great beer are indeed the keys. I hope the new place does well, I love that b…

A mural would be a good idea, in most case with murals around the city the taggers tend to leave the murals alone. In other areas of campus, they usually cover the graffiti over fairly quickly, they never covered anything under the old bridge. I kno…

A new brewery /restaurant is opening on Ionia Street downtown, called Saltrock. There is an artical about the new business in LSJ.com they seem to have a good plan. I wonder if the brewery pub trend is running its course, I am a beer drinker but rar…

The Farm Lane Bridge is open for traffic while they finish the sidewalks and light poles. It looks great, maybe if you are interested in seeing it you might want to get over there before the graffiti "artists" decorate the walls.

I saw an interview with the developer who is very excited about buying City Hall and turning it into a first-class hotel. He is the same developer who had been wanting to develop the City Hall for the former mayor and seemed very much into getting t…

I took a closer look at the "sandstone" colored squares, and they may not be the finished exterior, maybe some sort of backing for whatever the finished facade is. I hope it is as there is a lot of wall space covered with those squares.

Crews were laying the rebar for the sidewalks on the Farm Lane Bridge, and they are finishing the approach road beds on both sides. Most of crew and equipment trailers have been removed, and the new sidewalks in front of the Auditorium have been fin…

I quit Facebook a while back, I followed a foraging group, which became political! There would be comments about gathering mushrooms from private and State lands, saying it was anyone's right to gather what they want where they want. They commented …

The Michigan Central Train Station was basically a bombed-out shell, and they found the money and will to save that building, I think the task of saving at least the facade of Eastern would be a much easier and less expensive than any of the rehabil…

Wow so cool, it's like a picture of somewhere else, something so cool looking and beneficial for our water systems can't be in Lansing! I am happy that it is. Thanks for posting.

There was an interesting note in the City Pulse stating that the architects for the Ovation Center have been chosen, and they are Albert Kahn Associates! of Royal Oak. I think this might be a good plan.

Just an observation, I have had reason to travel on E. Michigan Ave and found that it looks really terrible with the trees all cut down. I would suppose there are not many who remember what Michigan Ave. looked like before those trees were planted i…

The new restaurant/game center next to the Jackson building had the roof spans delivered yesterday. This project has completely rebuilt the building adding a second floor. The work has been going on for months and must be costing a lot of money. I h…

I have noticed the new historically correct windows on the dorms west of Campbell. I do appreciate the University's consideration of the details when restoring or building new. I know it is apples and oranges to compare Lansing and MSU administratio…

What I get from this proposal is an effort to get the city council to stop looking at these assets as a drain on resources and maybe appreciate or understand the benefits of the assets. At least I think that is what this proposal is meant to accompl…

Thanks for the information, this plan sounds exciting. I hope the window replacements will be historically correct.

MSU has erected cyclone style fencing around Campbell Hall, I am hoping it is just temporary as it is not attractive to look at. I'm thinking they are going to do some work on the dorm.

I often wonder about the self-storage business. In Greater Lansing there must be thousands of units, and now they want to build more! What is profit for the owners? These facilities are in my mind the most anti-human anti-neighborhood ugly useless t…

This new plan sounds interesting, although it is kind of ironic that the old City Hall building was considered too small and the one of the reason's they did not like the Masonic Temple was because it was too large. I am hoping for a unique design f…

Thanks for the pics.
