I have looked at this wall art and it depicts the letters MSU. OK not super imaginative but better than a blank wall!
-
The white board that I noticed on the MSUFCU building was a templet for a wall sculpture. The sculpture is nice looking, with large green swirls of metal with different finishes. It is not illuminated at least not yet. Across the street the Black C…

Tuesday a crew was putting up what looked to be white board for a mural on the new credit union building on Abbot. Yesterday they took all the white boards down! I wonder why. Today there is a crew doing something and Abbot south bound is closed aga…

I understand, I used to think the mid-century building was so cool with the fountain in the lobby and the huge modern spaces, if they asked me I would have kept the old stone City Hall before the '50's version was built. It was also a very interesti…

Yes, it was built in the '60s and was Lansing's first [I believe] muti-story parking ramp and was thought of as very modern and a great addition to downtown. There is one on MSU's campus near the Administration building that was built around the sam…

That is good, two huge pot shops on the same block, was a very bad idea. I think a better plan would be for the developer to build their outdoor amities over the Grand Ave ramp overlooking the river and the city lease a few floors to them for priva…

I am bit surprised by the reaction to this plan. It may not be the perfect solution, but I think it is pretty Lansing positive in using a historic building keeping City Hall downtown on Capitol Ave... I don't enough about the use of a private develo…

The city announced that they are going to renovate the Masonic Temple for a new City Hall. I really like this plan.

I was writing about the former book/Spartan gear shop [next to the bubble tea shop] behind the fountain on Grand River, the space next to the Jackson Building does have something going on but is all boarded up so I can't see what they are doing, see…

The two Albert Ave retail spaces in the Newman Lofts building are under construction, the space next to Jolly Pumpkin is going to be a bar and grill designed for "non students" I guess is a nice way to say it won't be a college dive bar. I don't kno…

Yesterday I noticed a large new mural being painted on the western wall of one of the new apartment buildings in REOtown on S Washington. I did not get a real good look at it while driving but it looked really nice with robins and the Capitol Buildi…

Thanks I see that was the plan now.

On my walk today I was surprised to find Farm Lane all repaved with new lane markings leading up to the old bridge which is open for traffic. I guess this project is happening in phases. I was up the street so I did not see if the pedestrian bridge …

The first thing I noticed on this site was they cut down all the trees. Many of them were healthy and quite old. I am hoping the city develops a plan to make this area more pedestrian friendly. There sould be walkways to Old Town and Downtown perhap…

Crews seem to have finished underground utility work on Farm Lane and were paving the street. I wonder if the plan is to renovate the current bridge structure or replace it. Also, they were pouring cement for the new walkways to the pedestrian bridg…

I think this looks pretty cool and very different than the recent developments. Which is great progress in my opinion. I think these projects will spur others. Making downtown a beautiful place where people work and live will help to create an "urba…

I read today via the MSN/LSJ online news feed, that the Mayor and developers are going to make a major announcement on the 8th of August about developments that "will transform the skyline of Lansing" with 450 housing units, retail, office, and gree…

The complete span for the pedestrian bridge at Farm Lane is sitting on the old bridge ready to be installed. It looks nice but it will have much higher side rails/walls, in other words it looks much larger than the other pedestrian bridges, it will …

This administration seems to have little imagination or taste when it comes to this plan. This reminds me of the State's "secondary complex" when the State moved a bunch of departments out to the unremarkable buildings out in the -brubs. Lansing in …

Thanks for all the information, I wonder if repaving the rest of E Michigan is planned as part of the Red Cedar project. It looks like this project will end at Clippert St.
