Is the ROW the green line/space with no tracks that go along to the north of Eastwood and then down crossing Lake Lansing Rd. by High street? I agree that would a very good space to put a bus lane or way. Even though rail lines are not exactly lined…

I was reading about the art they are planning to install on the trail and it was mentioned that they will be installing the works after the 2018 repaving is done. I have not seen anything yet that looks like prep for this repaving project, but they …

Maybe you are right! Going to a store that looks and smells the same as it did in the 70's as my QD on W. Mt Hope does, is comforting but there is room for improvements and upgrades without losing that "charm?".

Yes, if the owner wants to get rid of it let's help him. The whole place is a monument to hard times. I think the Southside neighbors would love to have a nice business district to shop and live in. Like here in REOtown I think most folks would be h…

Yes, I think that is what people will agree is the situation at most of their stores, maybe that's what people like, they certainly are busy enough. I was saying that QD is a Lansing business that could benefit from a whole new plan and image, upgr…

That was pretty cool, I almost found the weather more interesting than the building. They have taken down the depiction of the next phase to be built at the studio, I will keep my eye open for any new drawing on display.

I am thinking that the busses themselves would be much less expensive than light rail cars and the infrastructure of electricity or locomotives that are needed for light rail. I could see a circle line around the whole metro area, with stops on the …

Wow, Hooters! I gotta get over there! {just kidding!} I think Mich. is talking about the Logan Center, which has had a new supermarket move in recently.I have been wanting to go there as they say the meat department is really good, but that shopping…

It's true that Quality Dairy is kind of a symbol that says you are in the Lansing area and we have our own brand of corner stores here. I think it would be great if QD did more to bring their store up to date, and more attractive, so a tourist might…

I saw this super cool bus/train on youtube. It's called the O-bahn Busway in Adelaide, Austraila. Check it out, just search bus/train on youtube. I don't know where we could build one of these busways here maybe along the railroad right of ways but …

Of course, Meijer will not be going into the vacant Sam's Club with a small scale store, as they have a huge store in that area. I was thinking of what could go in that space. I never go down that way, is it a popular shopping center? Perhaps they w…

I bet someone will take that spot quickly, for a new business a small space, already popular, it is much easier to manage and even make a little money. A small number of people in a large restaurant feels very different than the same number in a sma…

It is true that station has been under some sort of rehabilitation for a long time, but there is some newer[in the autumn] action taking place with some[new to me] foundations walls added on the north side. This is one four corners in Lansing that c…

That is very interesting, it seems like they want to build hospital/hotels which do not fit into urban spaces easily or as cheaply as vacant land in the suburbs. It looks like market forces are overcoming community service when private companies are…

I will try writing this new guy, there are a lot of stores that could some help. The one that you are talking about has really nice people working there, however, the refrigerated-cases are beaten up and permanently dirty, and the parking lot is bro…

Just a little flashy, please!

It is time for communities to consider what they are going to do with the huge spaces that are being vacated in the malls and shopping centers, and like you say, look beyond just getting another big box store to move into the vacant space. Environ…

I wonder if they are going to keep the present location as well as open the larger place. They recently put new siding on the old storefront.
-
I do not think they would give up any of the golf course in reality, but I could imagine a small lane hugging the right of way, perhaps for emergency use only. The other side of 127 might be a good place for this kind of an access lane to the new ho…

That would be the next great spot to develop in EL. I was reading about the Peanut Barrel's rehab, and the owner was saying that the building still has parts of the old supermarket that was there in the 60's. My sister would take me there when she…
