I think the river's channel starts to get deeper and more narrow just past REOtown so there could be less soil [mud] in the stones and rocks downtown for the grasses to take hold of. There is one big fallen tree right by the River Trail bridge where…

Thank you for starting this subject page. I believe our affection for trees is a kind of primal thing. it is with me anyways. From my window, Lansing looks like it is set in a huge forest I can see trees in every direction except the west, GM is muc…

I hope you are correct in saying perhaps they will not be there very long. They seem to have gone up very quickly and easily maybe they can come down as fast. I just went by there today and the new ones are so huge, and I have not heard anything lik…

It will be very nice to have a large grocery downtown, but why does this developer always go for the same look? Is his branding idea to make central Lansing look like a Euro/suburban public housing district? It really looks like what they built just…

This week in REOtown they have begun repairing the River Trail near GM where the bank has failed, this project[I think] is keeping the river quite low this summer and the exposed banks are covered with grasses and plants which look like a more natur…

I was kind of sad to hear they want to keep the restaurant[really bad food] and knock down the building. I would do it the other way around. It will be a very busy corner of town I am wondering what would be a good idea for the streets to keep traff…

This is just a point of interest [I hope] while traveling up to my cabin up north on US 127 I have been watching a new array of windmills being erected between Alma and Mt. Pleasent on the eastern side. They are much larger than the older array near…

Wow, I think this could be a good development for the Greater Lansing area as I am trying to think about all the developments going on just outside the city limits. I believe that most folks who do not live here call the whole place Lansing. There…

Yes linking our three classic downtowns with a free and easy shuttle would be even better. Maybe add an east-west loop through the outer Capitol Complex and crossing the north-south loop downtown and going out to Sparrow and back. My bright idea abo…

Well, I was talking about the view from street level looking at the new building going up now. I was waiting for the Flyer bus at the hotel looking at the construction's progress and it looks to me like the sun will be behind the building soon after…

I was in downtown E.L. the other day and it became apparent to me that Ann Street is the street that will feel and look the most changed. From the street, the frontage on Grand River is going to have a similar look with the brick and glass facade so…

The rehabilitation of the Moores Park School is coming along nicely. They are installing architecturally correct windows, that look like the original late 50's modern style of the building. So nice to see them doing it right. They also seem to be r…

I think someone has a broken g.p.s. at the LSJ. There was an interesting story about a 13 million dollar real estate transaction in the mmj industrial park in Windsor Township behind GM! It looks like some local investors have scored pretty big w…

Yes, I agree! this building looks so great, and really successfully references the academic buildings of the old school. It makes me happy to see a developer building something that looks better then it has to.

They are installing the real windows in the BWL wall. It looked for a while as though the windows might be frosted but it was just protective paper you can look right through them. It could be that the fixtures and rigging are new but they seem extr…

I picked up my sister from Cali. at the Flyer stop in E.L., she went to MSU in the 60's and she was quite shocked to see E.L. 2018. We drove back down Michigan Ave. and I pointed out what may be the last elm tree of the elms that once lined the medi…

Wow so cool, I really like that concept and putting that large area into public use would be great. When I grew up nearby you could always hear the drop forge pounding all night they would also open the doors in the summer and you could see the spar…

In REOtown they are rebuilding the facade of the QD building on S Washington where the brewery is going in. Looks like they are putting some big money into this project!
-
That is a good thought, right now I think the wall already looks like a stadium or ballpark it actually reminds me a bit of Fenway Park, so it is interesting to think ahead to what could be the next phase of that corner's history.

Oh, Thank you! It would be so nice to have a year-round green space that would be illuminated at night in the winter, lighting up the grey nights.
