What a great plan! I think the town square or four corners is a good way to create an urban village within the greater city. I think Holmes and MLK would also be a good area to re-think. It does not have to be such a mess. There are neighborhoods fu…

I think a signal and bus stop right at the corner of the new drive with a crosswalk there may be a good option. Maybe it could be coordinated with the Penn. Ave lights so as to not stop traffic twice in one block. I hate to think someone visiting th…

It will put a rather tall building in the middle of mainly two story buildings, but the towers are set back so at the street level the would not loom over the sidewalk. I think anyone walking by the would find a similar feeling as today. I think tal…

I like that attitude, it is good to hear this newest project is already on the right track. If all three of these project are built there will be quite a view from the bridge heading west into East Lansing from Okemos.

When you name a place a "dive bar" it usually stops being a "dive bar". Hipsters are among the folks who are in the lead into neighborhoods like Old Town. So yes this brings about changes, but I don't think anyone wishes for the good old days in Nor…

So this is on the south side of Grand River looking at that awful "Element" building across the street? It is really surprising to see another "tall building" development being proposed, this one look really good. I hope the EL powers can get it tog…

Yes there needs to be a light there and the bus stop should be moved to be right next to the crosswalk. There are always people who think it is a good idea just to cross five lanes of traffic standing in the middle of the street there.

I visited Frances Park yesterday and the park was looking very nice with many roses in bloom. They still have they traditional plantings around the picnic pavilion which look very nice. There was a sign at the woodland trail that stated the trail is…

I noticed the signs are similar to the one at St. Joe and S. Washington depicting buildings that are not there. I wonder about that project[St Joe] it was talked about a while back but I never saw anything but the sign.

I do not know if the Mayor grew up in Lansing, maybe if he did he might understand how much every neighborhood loved it's parks and how much our lives took place in a Lansing park. We also had schools in each neighborhood that fostered a better sens…

I did not live here during the recent recession, but signs of how bad it was are still evident. The parks, the schools, and the roads all have had their funds cut and look like it. I think of President Obama's stimulus programs and how as soon as th…

I don't know if the city takes care of this area but the Cedar Street & 496 area is one place that seems be be getting less care each year. It looks like they did at one time as there are flowers and plantings that would look nice if they cleane…

I was a tourist in my own town yesterday! I went to the Olds museum which was very nice I thought. I enjoyed seeing cars and trucks that my family and friends helped to build. I also liked the old photos of the plants around Lansing. They really ref…

I noticed that as well, I have also noted that the clock has been wrong or not working many days this past year. Maybe they are fixing the whole thing, I hope so!

My sister lives in San Francisco and her house is worth nearly 2 million! It's just a normal house but it's on the top of a hill so that adds about a half million. My question has been who can afford these prices? What do they do for a living? It se…

I received an invitation from the Capital Region Community Foundation for an event they are having at the former Beer Grotto to share "exciting news about their plans for Downtown Lansing and Michigan Avenue". They are the folks who had the banners …

I sure hope I never see the day Lansing becomes an expensive place to live. I like the fact that you can buy a really nice house for less than 100k. Out east it has become so expensive that is how much a parking space might cost. The thing about you…

I have not set that up either.

LSJ reports that they are going to redevelop the back of the old Michigan Theater. That will be really great if they do. They would bring a facade to the Grand Ave. side of the building to the street. Just an little note about the Michigan Theate…

I could see an historical art and design museum somewhere downtown, I have heard that Lansing does have a collection of art that has been donated in storage some where. I could be wrong about that. I could see historical art as part of a Lansing His…
