  • After all the water news from Michigan, it is disappointing that our Capital City is still a huge polluter of the Grand River. I am confused about the statement that most pollution occurs between the damns. Does the storm drain go the treatment pl…
  • That is exciting news. Have they published any new/final depictions of the buildings planned?
  • Yes, Pleasent Grove was a Lansing public elementary school k-6. A lot of kids I went to Dwight Rich JHS with came from Pleasent Grove. Students who lived in Church Hill Downs and that area went there. It was kind of the edge of town back than past H…
  • I have not been through the campus in a while, has this plan been built?
  • I am looking at this as a start. Maybe like building a stage that has yet to find a show. We will have to see what is going to fill all of the seats in this part of the park. The fireplace looks better than the East Lansing fireplace, it will have t…
  • Another interesting article in The City Pulse talking about a study that is being funded for a new performing arts center somewhere downtown. It noted there is one developer all ready to jump in on this. It also noted a couple of PAC's that have bee…
  • At the brewery, they have installed the front door and some more windows. I am not sure what to call this part of the building, perhaps a transom, a half floor of windows at the roof line? Anyway, they have restored the windows up there and they loo…
  • The City Pulse has an article about this development online. It offers views from both sides of the incentive issue. I think it pretty clearly explains why it will be a good investment for the city, and that we would have to spend a great deal of mo…
  • Considering that we have torn down so many historic buildings in Lansing, it is great that this one is going to be repurposed. It is beautiful and unique. I wonder what could be done to tame the traffic and make a more comfortable environment for…
  • Seems like maybe just asking might work, they do not seem to care much about that area.
  • The corridor the 127 is built on was called "The Pinetree Corridor" before they built the highway. That is easy to imagine as much of this area is still forested. Perhaps we could get the State plant[or let us plant] a forest of pine trees along bot…
  • MJ sent me a written apology, seems like he has some issues and was using this forum to work on them [I guess]. I don't blog or twitter much and this negative kind of thing really surprises me when it happens. I get a little more shook up than I sh…
  • Thanks for not insulting my square ass. Stop putting up BS and I'll forgive you. Peace to your "hip' ass as well!
  • Thank you maybe you need to take a break. Honestly, I am have not "gone after you", and it was your comment that anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot, big babies etc., that while I may have misunderstood your point of view on the environmental …
  • I hope that MJ will keep his opinions about others' observations on this page to himself from now on. No one here is an idiot. I was noting that the parking areas of Eastwood are configured kind of like streets and blocks possibly with permeable pav…
  • It looks like they place a metal frame and fill it with cement to form the walls??
  • The drain project it very exciting to me. It sounds like it is going to be beautiful and will be quite an attraction. I am looking forward to biking there, that will be so cool. I am not a skater/boarder but I am glad to hear the skate park is safe,…
  • Yes, it would great if there were no surface parking lots at all. Unfortunately, this is Lansing where it seems like parking lots will always be of the highest priority. At least the lots are in the rear not on Michigan Avenue.
  • I was wondering about that huge lot as well. Is it parking for the housing, or do they think they will need that much parking for visitors and shoppers? I would guess that this area is still in the flood plain so could be flooded without much damage…
  • This is good news that I think says this thing is going to be built. I also wish the design would be bolder more urban. I hope it does not end up looking like an office park, I do think it will be animated with more people than an office park as a l…
