Thank you for the update. I hope they can find a way to help the new development areas mesh into the older campus. The new areas feel and look a bit like an office park, more trees and landscaping, with large direct pedestrian and bike paths to the …

Looks really good. It has been difficult to look at the new building while driving by. It looks like a first class building.

It is great to hear about the Michigan Ave under the bridge project is getting underway, anything would be better than what it's like now.

Thank you, this clears it up for me. My older brother worked a whole summer patching the roof of the Motor Wheel building back in the 60's. He had a great tan that summer. It is great to see that photo, to remember what the building looked like, alt…

I have been wondering about that space since I have been back in Lansing. It sort of looks like an an abandoned trailer park with only the street lights left standing. So they were going to build apartments from shipping containers? I think it may h…

There has been work going on at the white brick and tile clad building at the corner of Elm and S. Washington in REOtown. I am hoping it is not going to be more surface parking for the church, but that seems to be what they are working on as the bui…

It would really be great if they did something to that building. Of all the buildings built in the "urban renewal" area this one to me is the most disappointing building, and a sign of a lack of vision that finds downtown in it's present state. Afte…

I like this one better too. It seems to fit the space.

I think this place will be a success. I tended bar in a place with a similar set up. It was interesting to see how many people really love to play pinball, and video games. There was also pool and ping-pong tables. People had a great time and and u…

I have only been back for a short time[2 years] but the rivers are the highest I have seen. It has gone down some, it is really impressive to watch the water rushing through the Moores Park damn. The Grand is a really big river! I think a lot of th…

I was attempting a slight bit of humor, towards our neighbors. that being said, some of our neighbors are rather chauvinistic about their communities. They have managed to keep or recreate a center city, so maybe they should be rightly proud. In the…

I hope they do figure out a way to save the old buildings. The Abigail building will need help to brake the "hunted old institution look". It's kind of creepy right now. IMO! I wonder if all this housing is built there it will extend Old Town type o…

I think both downtown East Lansing and Lansing have similar problems, there are times that almost everyone leaves. The tourist season in the town I where I lived was lengthened by having many different kinds of festivals that would attract differen…

I have never understood why people from G.R. and A.A. are so arrogant. In G.R. I think their Calvinist views that they are descend [by God!] to be better may have something to do with it. They simply have do not time or interest in people or places …

Thanks, I found the page about this move at Capital Gains. I have been thinking that a high end restaurant may have of hard time in that spot, it is very large, there would be a lot of seats to fill every night. I'm thinking one or two smaller cafe …

I was downtown on my trip to the Peanut Shop and I noticed there is some kind of work going on in the ground floor of the Knapp's building. I have not heard of anything going in there, I wonder if anyone had heard. There were just signs for the cons…

All good points. When I went to MSU the school year was divided into quarters. I worked at the Kellogg Center so I had to be enrolled every quarter and there were lots of students enrolled for summer quarter. I wonder, do they no longer offer classe…

I guess I commented on the E.L. page, this looks so great. As they say in Massachusetts "cross yah fingahs" maybe it will be as nice as the drawings.

The LSJ has a great drawing of the City Center. It looks really great. It seems kind of ironic or interesting that this project seems to rolling a long with little interference while down the street they are still waiting for a final plan after year…

Thanks for the information. I am thinking that if they really do build out the empty GM sites we will for sure be seeing a lot more people in Lansing. I think we should really be working all of our infrastructure and facilities, to entice new people…
