I was not annoyed! I guess that I may be just a bit jealous of Ann Arbor because it is nice there. It's where the Governor prefers to live! I am also a Spartan so it is difficult to say something nice!

Sorry I could not get a good photo of the drawings through the windows. One thing I did notice was the area that looks like a parking structure is located on the Shiawassee side of the "new corner building" between the corner and the current newly c…

I was speaking of being part of the ring of wealth and population that surrounds Detroit of which Ann Arbor is a part. I know that Ann Arbor itself is a smaller city, but it is older and has a densely populated center, which makes it seem larger.

Speaking of cool, I saw photos of a new sculpture downtown on Michigan Ave and Museum Drive. I saw it on the #lovelansing site. It is a huge stainless steel head with gears springing off the top pointing down to the towards museums. I do not know if…

I think that there may be a bit of truth to the thought that many people who live in Lansing have a poor opinion of our town. I grew up here then moved away for 35 years and moved back. I can tell you that Lansing is a lot "cooler" than 1980, and th…

ok, I'll give a try! The drawing that I am speaking of is projected on a flat screen so photographing through the window might not work too well.

Hey come over to REOtown for lunch, and some shopping and check it out yourself. There is a lot of free parking!

Yes, I have a camera but I do not know how to upload a photo to this site.:{

In the urban renewal days of the 60's and 70's they knocked down about half of downtown Lansing which had dozens of historical beautiful 19th and 20th-century buildings. I would say that being historic or beautiful has not really meant much to this …

The location of City Hall is to some people is symbolic of our local government standing right in front of the powerful State government in a way demanding to be seen right outside the Capitol's windows. The Plaza in the front suffers from the same …

I think it would be a good idea to replace the street and traffic lights along Harrison with more attractive and efficient lights from Mt. Hope to Michigan Ave. While the traffic lights serve to slow traffic in the neighborhood it would be nice if t…

The drawing depicts the area on the west side of Cedar in front of the first and second phases of the development, which is now a parking lot. I believe that there is a parking structure drawn into building further up Cedar from the corner. The corn…

As I walked by the Intrigue storefront in REOtown I noticed a depiction of the Outfield Apartments built out to the corner of Cedar and Shiawassee dated 2017. Are they going to build out the area next to the street soon? It looks "colorful" but grea…

There was a hotel at Michigan and Capitol that was called the Hotel Olds and it was the center of a lot of activity downtown. Then it was called The Jack Tar Hotel but they failed to modernize and the building was sold to the State at some point and…

It seems to me that the mayor would do better getting the Red Cedar project underway during his administration as his legacy project, rather than this city hall deal. Moving city hall to a side street on the edge of downtown does not seem like such …

It is true that I have only lived here for a couple of years but it seems like there a lot. During that time I have seen a new self-storage businesses open at the old Ford dealership on MLK and another on Hosmer. Maybe I just do not have a lot of ju…

I like the part where the owner says he did not pay his taxes because he did not like the way the city was treating him. I did not know this was a legal option. I would tend to agree that in this case, something new is better than what is there now.…

That is a great idea!

I do understand the design and orientation of the Hall of Justice, and I think it is an OK building in design. A welcoming western entrance would have been nice for the local Lansing folks who may have wanted to walk there. The idea I was trying t…

I may be wrong! but weren't those blocks originally cleared for the Capitol Complex [is it still called that?]. It is kind of sad that these developers just sit on these properties. Back when The Hall of Justice was built, did anyone say anything ab…
