I was around before this street was converted to the present configuration; the project cleared out a lot of old homes and neighborhood business districts including my old hood along South Logan and Barnes. Those places would be "Old Towns" these da…

I saw a small news artical about the redevelopment of the former GM land on Verlinden, it did not have many details.

I am happy to report that Dave's Hot Chicken is pretty good, and quite a hit, filled with customers all the time. It is better than Raising Canes [imo] there are only a few items on the menu other than chicken which they cook to order so you will wa…

Crews were using huge cranes and cement cutters to pull up the main center spans of the Farm Lane Bridge today, interesting to watch for all you sidewalk supervisors out there.

Folks in East Lansing will have yet another coffee shop to choose from, the renovation of the old Campus Corners store front is going to be a coffee shop, they put up the new signage the other day, which looks nice. The other new coffee shop at the …

I drove from Casa Nova [best pizza] down Wavery down to Saginaw and was disappointed to see that the Car Wash is still the only thing built on the golf course site so far, is that development still happening. [I know this is in the township] further…

Just a note about the "Sad Little Town" story, someone has come up with a T-shirt with a mittened fist with a star in the middle and the middle finger flipping the bird, and "A Sad Little Town" printed below. You can get one at sadlittletown.com! Pr…

I am not sure why a Free Press editorial would want to say something like "Lansing is a Sad Little Town and should not be the State Capital!" She bad mouths just about everything here including "Lansing Tacos"! Where did she go for tacos? Not Pablos…

I may be wrong [I have been in the past!:}] but while driving past the new apartments on S Cedar downtown they seemed to be working on the overhead utility-lines in front of the new buildings. In my brief look as I passed it looked like they may be …

It looks like the reconstruction of the Farm Lane Bridge is starting up again, there were crews working under the bridge today and signs up noting the road will be closed as of 12/18. Up the street the new student center is taking shape and looks la…

I was surprised to see that the Blue Owl coffee shop has closed, it seemed pretty busy maybe they upped the rent. Meanwhile another coffee shop selling Arabic style coffee is opening in the space where the MSU Museum "Art Lab" was located. The new T…

The rehab of the Black Cat Cafe is moving along, it looks like there will be an adobe exterior, and pitched roof facade over the door. I believe the name is Los Tres Tex-Mex ? they had a sign up but took it down for the exterior work. It is interest…

I looked a Dave's Hot Chicken's menu and they are another fried chicken tenders place with 14 levels of spice. I have recently figured out that a lot of young people do not like chicken with bones [my niece and nephew won't eat chicken with bones] I…

I think the green lanes are a good idea, however the city only painted the lanes in front of the two loading zones in front of the Newman Lofts building. I guess it is green, so people won't park across the bike lanes. It looks a little odd.

Great I can't wait to try Dave's; I know I will be smelling the restaurant cooking up all those fries and chicken tenders. We get all the cooking odors from the many restaurants that surround us. I know! I live in the middle of downtown EL, it's onl…

Signage was put up on the westside store front of the Newman/Parking ramp building. Get ready! it will be another chicken restaurant called Dave's Hot Chicken. I guess there is a lot of money to be made selling chicken these days! There was a LA Cal…

I was downtown yesterday and saw a huge crane removing a very large piece of machinery from the roof of the building at the southwest side of Washington and Michigan. [I don't know the name] I was wondering if this may be the beginning of the redeve…

The storefront next to the Jackson Building has renewed activity, it looks like they are prepping for the second-floor expansion. The Campus Corner site has been totally cleared out to the joists; I don't know what is going in there. The two spaces …

It will be great to see the hilltop there fully developed. I was out that way and noticed the construction of a Panda Express and the east side if Eastwood right next to the highway. I am sure there of a lot of people who love Panda Express, but doe…

East Lansing has installed maybe a dozen blue screens on pedestals all around downtown, with three in the small park at Albert and Abbot which seems like a lot for a corner lot sized park. I guess they are some sort of information device/screen. The…
