It is too bad they did not just incorporate the old into the new, it is interesting to see a building fitting into the Plaza space. I guess they could build a hotel there. Our history is why we should not really compare Lansing with cites like Ann …

I was reading a Lansing history book published in the 80's "Out Of A Wilderness" which tells about the same story as the others I have looked at. There were a few things the stuck out for me in this book. The Native Americans were "removed" from our…

Yoops I was talking about the Grand Tower! It's true this would be a great place for a park, I could see lots of green framing the avenue on both sides of the street. They should also make Wentworth Park a more formal park with nice seating and pl…

I agree that the Grand View building is entirely unremarkable, and I find the window pattern to be rather phallic! Add the Lugnut tower and it looks like we are all up in Lansing!:} Is this building up for sale or dedeveoplment? I think it would be …

The roads in this area get really beat up due to all the heavy trucks coming and going to the cement plants and the landfill, a haul road to the landfill and past the plants to take the trucks out of the retail areas would be another good idea. A tr…

It is really very exciting that this building is going to be repurposed, and hundreds of people will soon be living there. I listened to an interview with Jody Washington that I found on Urban Systems website and she seemed to say that many more p…

I noticed a great depiction of the new brewery being built on S. Washington in the City Pulse. They finished re-bricking the facade a few weeks ago, but there are still boards on the windows and char stains on the front so there is a way to go. I a…

There are so many questions that come to mind when I look at this building. One that I always think of is what did they do with all of those stone bricks and window and door frames? I know the Mayor then wanted Lansing to be a more modern

I like how the tall buildings are set back, that helps it fit into its space I think.

Great news, people living there will be better for the community.

If I remember the lobby was just an nice area to pass through, the escalator was on the west side of the room going up to the east where there was a mezzanine lobby for the elevators. The water fell sort on the wall and into the pool in a wall of wa…

I was talking about the building right next to the main building that for a while was home to the Lansing Party Bus it is a real eyesore. What was EDS? It will be so great to have that area in use and fixed up.

I am pretty sure the escalator went up behind the fountain which was a one story high wall of water falling into a rectangular pool. Think the BWL tower is separated from the City Hall tower and that there was a window wall behind the escalator in o…

I had been thinking they were going to build another building fronting Cedar St. maybe this is the start of that project.

That is a lot of blacktop, too bad about that other parcel, what was in those buildings anyway? I can not remember what was there something like a K-mart with an auto-service in the side building? In the way old days there was a trailer park in that…

As an adult I was only in the building for an extended time was when I served jury duty, it was a trial for a man who shot and killed a Lansing Policeman at Frandor. I am pretty sure the two buildings were connected which may have been a basement pa…

Thank for all this interesting info... Even though I can still not imagine why there is such a huge market for storage space it sounds like this will really improve the property. Is the smaller former garage building to the east of the main building…

There used to be a building next door of similar architecture the was called the Board of Water and Light Building which may have had a connection to City Hall. You could pay your bill there and bring in burnt out lightbulbs and they would replace t…

Seems like a not all bad thing but! This building is in a park next to a formal garden, where is going to store his "merchandise" in the rooms of the house? It is good to see the house will find some use and not torn down but this is quite a downfal…

Everyone should take a trip over to Frances Park soon and the Gardens are as pretty as I have seen them for a long time. It seems like the Friends of The Garden and the city have put in a lot of time and money this year. There is expanded irrigation…
