It would be great if we had another industry to replace GM in our community but I am pretty sure that while maybe not growing, they will be here for a long time to come. What I would like to see is the land that GM has left, and the huge surface lot…

I do not agree that most GM workers are poorly educated and lack skills. These folks have to do much of their work on computers and with robotic machines. Their work requires intelligence and skill. They build very intricately sophisticated vehicles…

I agree that Lansing is positioned to do very well in the next decade. The area seems to already be a draw from both cities that have little growth or opportunity, and from places that have become just too expensive to live comfortably. I often ask …

I noted the sign the BWL has posted at the Michigan and Clare site. It says it is a temporary storage site for the "Westside Re-enforcement Project". I have not heard of this project, does anyone know what it is? It may have something to do with dev…

I stopped by to see the sculpture, and I found it to be very cool, and interesting to look at. It is easy to walk around it and seems to there to stay as it attached to the ground below the bridge. I would guess we will find out who paid for this at…

On another subject, I saw a notice from the city asking people to participate in planning an amphitheater in Adado Park. I have said here before that it would be great if the amphitheater were designed to be visited at times other than during shows.…

I was not annoyed! I guess that I may be just a bit jealous of Ann Arbor because it is nice there. It's where the Governor prefers to live! I am also a Spartan so it is difficult to say something nice!

Sorry I could not get a good photo of the drawings through the windows. One thing I did notice was the area that looks like a parking structure is located on the Shiawassee side of the "new corner building" between the corner and the current newly c…

I was speaking of being part of the ring of wealth and population that surrounds Detroit of which Ann Arbor is a part. I know that Ann Arbor itself is a smaller city, but it is older and has a densely populated center, which makes it seem larger.

Speaking of cool, I saw photos of a new sculpture downtown on Michigan Ave and Museum Drive. I saw it on the #lovelansing site. It is a huge stainless steel head with gears springing off the top pointing down to the towards museums. I do not know if…

The old Speedwagon store is still closed, the new store is in the former Kwasp Barkery building near the R.R. tracks. I have not stopped by there yet. The "appliance store" located in the former pool hall seems like they have stopped renovating and …

I think that there may be a bit of truth to the thought that many people who live in Lansing have a poor opinion of our town. I grew up here then moved away for 35 years and moved back. I can tell you that Lansing is a lot "cooler" than 1980, and th…

ok, I'll give a try! The drawing that I am speaking of is projected on a flat screen so photographing through the window might not work too well.

In this area, if you see a building that needs protecting it is really up to you to get out and find support for protecting it. Those buildings had some nice features and were nearly antique, but they had no one advocating that they should be saved …

Hey come over to REOtown for lunch, and some shopping and check it out yourself. There is a lot of free parking!
-
edit! I think that it is good this project will be in Lansing even if it is the very edge of the city!

I am hoping that because it is such a large and expensive project, the planners are considering improvements to transit and street access. I would think that they are not planning to leave bumpy Forest Road in its present condition and with only one…

Yes, I have a camera but I do not know how to upload a photo to this site.:{

In the urban renewal days of the 60's and 70's they knocked down about half of downtown Lansing which had dozens of historical beautiful 19th and 20th-century buildings. I would say that being historic or beautiful has not really meant much to this …

The location of City Hall is to some people is symbolic of our local government standing right in front of the powerful State government in a way demanding to be seen right outside the Capitol's windows. The Plaza in the front suffers from the same …
