  • 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…
  • My windows look out at this building and it has been a long haul for this project. I will enjoy going there and watching all the activity from up here. The Nailed Shop has help wanted signs up so maybe they are going to open soon. There was recent…
  • 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…
  • These are the woods that boys in my neighborhood would "run away" to and also it was a spot for teenage partying and hobo camps. It was considered a dangerous place with trains still running through there. It was known by Schafer's Woods or Lindell'…
  • I believe as this one looks like it will be a glass-sided it will be reflecting a lot of sunlight into the neighborhood. This may help to mitigate the shadow canyon effect that we are going to find on Albert and Abbot streets area. My apartment fa…

  • 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.
  • Interesting design, very different.
  • Yea Finally! How many years did that take?
  • Just when it seemed that Pablous renovation had totally stalled there is a cement truck pouring at this site today! Down the street the new brewery has installed large windows on the north side of the building. It looks like progress is continuing…
  • 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.
  • This looks like a very good idea. I guess the entrance would have to be north or south of the pedestrian bridge, I think losing the parking is not so bad. There are so many parking spaces in that area. It might not be a bad idea to have some sort of…
  • 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.
  • Up, on Malcolm X the Main Street Apartments have put up new large signs rebranding the complex as the ReoTown Apartments. I did not notice any renovation going on otherwise, maybe they are putting in granite countertops so they can charge $1,200 a m…
  • I think any development of that part of town is great, kind of strange that such a large piece of land is being developed without some notice of what is being built there.
  • 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…
