I saw the elevator structure is going up on the corner of Lenawee and Townsend. Looks taller than I remember from looking at the drawings. Great to see this building going up. The park looked really nice as well with the daffodils blooming around th…

It is kind of ironic that the developer is going from crayon colors to black and white. I guess he got the message. A lot of blacktop is what they need here in Lansing, that is for sure. It looks like the lot will not be visible from Michigan Avenue…

Yes, I guess you are right, and it will help to extend the "stadium district" to the east. Now we need a great restaurant to move into the train depot.

No More Self-Storage! I have been disappointed to see that the renovation of the former Holiday Inn [may not be done] into self-storage units has no improvements to the outside of the building, in fact, it looks worse. The new business in Edgewood …

It may not be new to everyone but I found some very interesting construction project videos on youtube from "The B1M". the videos make it look like every country in the world except the US has super-sized development and infrastructure projects happ…

Thank you for the information about zoning. You all know these things on a deeper level than I do, so I do like hearing what is behind some of these issues. It is interesting to see urban use replacing industrial use in Lansing and other cities. I…

It is interesting when you come across a hill or high bank in Lansing as the landscape seems so flat around here. It would be a good idea to take advantage of that height with underground parking and apartments with a great view on top. Is that whol…

So pretty! Thanks for posting the photos now I going to ride down there to see the cherry trees.

I go by this building often and I noticed some renovation going on in the front of the building nearest to S Washington. That may be the area this new business is moving into. I would like to see the owners of this complex restore the Washington Ave…

I have this idea of planting a forest of trees along both sides of the 127 embankments with a pedestrian/bike paths along be the street level on the east and west sides. They would lead directly to the cross streets into Frandor without crossing so …

Thanks, it was pretty cool to live in such an old house except it was pretty drafty in the winter. This house was what they called a "floated over house" or "Long Point House" at one time part of the town was on Long Point which is at the very tip o…

Cross your fingers and knock on wood the Red Cedar project passed city council last night and will start this summer along with the drain project it could be a very nice area in a few years. I have noted here before that Frandor could lay out a la…

More good news for REOtown. The depiction is nice. I wish they would pull up about half of the block-long parking lot behind here. It seems like it is very large for such a small building. I know that rarely happens.

I never saw the taco place open, I used to think it was only open for bar hours. I am not downtown so much at night so who knows? The pizza place could be a success there are not any "good" pizza restaurants downtown other than a slice of Grand Ma s…

Thanks for the info... Yes, that is the '60s facade on that building, I wonder what was there before it became offices. On Sunday I had a chance to drive down W Barnes Ave, they are rebuilding several blocks of the street, but of course, it stops r…

Thanks that is interesting. Out on the Cape they used to do that for historical structures. Tear down everything but the outside walls and add a lot of bump outs and dormers to make condo spaces out of single-family houses. During the construction, …

Due to one of the better mmj shops being down there I have been traveling S. Cedar to Edgewood Blvd to get my meds [it works!] a lot lately. I noticed they tore down the former smokehouse restaurant on the corner all except for one cinderblock wall.…

Yes, that Speed Wagon building is gross. I think they just closed one day and left everything in there. That would be great to have a nice four corners of retail and housing at that intersection. The good pavement starts about two blocks up W Barnes…

I was also out to the PO and noticed the work going on. To me this project symbolizes what happened in the past, people leaving, the recession businesses going down, a huge motel like this left to become an eyesore, now being transformed into new La…

You raise a good point. Just what is it that makes people think to have students included as potential tenants, is such a bad thing? It's true that Lansing should have a "college town" on the east side. I have heard that several years ago when Coole…
