Sorry I got carried away with the shinny drawings! I agree that this whole thing seems kind of strange and rushed. Considering that fact that they would have to build the new city hall first, and nothing other than a concept has been discussed on th…

I am guessing that facade is copper or brown glass which seems dark to me. The re-hab of the current building is hidden behind the new tower, and looks like nothing of the original design is left, so why save the building at all. The only interestin…

cool look like bugs!

I agree that there seems to be little said about why are we doing this except the Mayor thinks that the current building is a dump. I also agree that there are many other empty spots, right on Michigan Ave across from the Raddison for example, that …

Thank you I'll check with the folks you mentioned. I was just hoping that there was at least a good reason to cut down so many nice trees. Maybe a building already standing in a flood plan can be redeveloped if it has not been flooded before.
-
I hope that you are right about the river bank stabilization, but the trees the were cut down are on the other side of the river from the river trail, in front of the old Knapp's warehouse that is being redeveloped. I believe that it is private prop…

I know it is an old rant of mine but I walked the river trail over to Potter Park the other day for the first time in a while. I noticed that the old Knapp's warehouse building was still under construction, which looks pretty good. What does not loo…

All very interesting, it is a very flat area I could imagine a grass field airport over there. It is strange that I never heard of this airport, as I grew up near by. Colonial Village and Church Hill Downs were all there when I was a kid. New homes …

I do remember that Pleasant Grove and Holmes was nearly the edge of town, but I had never heard that there was an Airport in that area. I guess it is not quite in the right area but there is the house at 2200 W Mt Hope that looks like it is from tha…

Yesterday I noticed some work had begun on the warehouse on S Hosmer a block off of Kalamazoo. I know that it is going to be a self storage business, but I am hoping they will improve the outside of the building as well. I have been wondering who t…

I know that we have talked about this area before, and I think the one way high speed streets that cut through this neighborhood are the biggest impediment to it's redevelopment. I think the area looks like REOtown must have looked before they rebui…

Because this area is pretty far from downtown, it really could be a great place for a neighborhood town center, with things like banks, medical offices, maybe a city hall annex, things that would be of service to the community. This would also provi…

Yes the school on the corner was called Pleasant Grove. Gosh has it been that long since they closed it no one remembers? Pleasant Grove Square or Corners would be a great name for that area. Huge numbers of people live out there now, the businesse…

I like South Side, that could cover a large area, and is different than "South Lansing". I could be wrong but wasn't the drive in theater on Cedar were the Mega-Mall is now called The North Side Drive In? Back in the day we called all of the area N…

I will have to slow down and take a good look at the new solar panel arrays installed in the two east side parking lots at MSU. They are really shinny! They are kind of shocking to see out there in the middle of the woods and fields, like the wind m…

I think "The French Neighborhood" could work, from the school name not the language. Most Lansing neighborhoods were known by the schools there in the old days.
-
Thanks for the info, that restaurant always looked closed, I am surprised to hear about it. My older brothers and sister went to French, I think that building could be turned into something really nice. That would help to pull up the surrounding ne…

Thinking of that area, it could be a small hub,[Outer REOtown or The Walter French Neighborhood ] the school building could house a lot of residents, they could support area small businesses that might extend up Mt. Hope to S Washington. A traffic …

So long ugly building!

Yes if it is all such a great idea to sell City Hall why is it is such a delicate and secretive issue?
