The one-way system works OK in Manhattan if you are going uptown or downtown but cross-town can be a real pain. Like, say when you come in from Laguardia you can find yourself in a taxi cab for a very long time. If I was anywhere close to my destina…

I think a bigger impact could be made on the Oakland Saginaw and Larch Cedar corridors. Although they are State highways they do not carry the volume of traffic they once did and could carry today's traffic on two-way streets without much trouble. I…

There is a nice photo of this building when it was new on the Lansing History facebook page. It was never a flashy design not bad just not very interesting.

Yes, the trees there are really nice, the Oct. 2016 google pictures have some autumn color. Now that I look at more at this the building is situated well in its spot and the parking lot even has some nice trees. I think with the improvements I will …

You bought a Cadillac! thank you very much "here's your Buick" it looks almost the same doesn't it?! I am really disappointed to hear that the city may not be able to "force" the developer to deliver same buildings they "sold" the city. It seems kin…

Thank you for the information about the forests. I thought I had heard that a few spots along the Red Cedar and Sycamore Creek had never been logged because of being in the swamp. Just an old "Indian Story" I guess. It seems like Mr. Moorse of Lan…

I wonder why the developer would try to pull this off? There still seems to be some kind of a jinx on this stop! The no glass design is just so bland and not at all fancy, fancy is what they sold to the council. I would really hate to see this devel…

I would say that it is true that browns and tans were the colors of choice back then, when I think of it I don't know why except that it was different than the '50's mod-colors more natural I guess? this is a rehab so they are kind of stuck using th…

This "Bear Lake" area must look like what the first settlers saw when they came into this area is what I think when I take the Dunkel Road exit. I never knew there was a lake back there before looking at the site of the new hospital. I wonder if thi…

It is rather ironic how fast these other developments have been approved and are rising into the sky. I guess they learned a lesson on how to get these things done. I wish they would share this lesson with the folks developing the Red Cedar project.

Yea Finally! How many years did that take?

This weekend I noticed a pedestrian walkway protection scaffolding around the old Bank of Lansing building/Comerica Bank, on N. Washington at Michigan. I am hoping they put this up for some sort of renovation and not because of falling debris from t…

I hope to see the progress there soon.

It looks like they were moving the fencing all the way out to the curb, I was driving so I think? they had pulled up the sidewalks on Abbot. Very cool to see something happening in this corner.

That is good news. Maybe something is going on inside, I still only see people going to the boxing gym there. It is a very interesting concept and I hope to see it underway soon.

I got all excited when I saw an excavator there last month, but they were just moving an ATM closer to the building. The Urban Systems folks seem to have a lot of plans but have yet to start any of them. I know it's all about the money and getting t…

This building looks like Lansing to me, a nice looking urban apartment building the fits into its surroundings not trying to look like something else. I have not heard that the rest of the project there has begun. I hope we can get some more shovels…

I was thinking the same thing this photo looks like it could be Lansing. It seems strange to me that Dayton Ohio is more developed than Lansing.

Thanks!

I know I should link these stories but I do not know how!. On the Lansing history Facebook page, they are talking about the Civic Center, many have very fond memories of that place. It would be important as you say to make this new project a civic…
