I know that we have talked about this area before, and I think the one way high speed streets that cut through this neighborhood are the biggest impediment to it's redevelopment. I think the area looks like REOtown must have looked before they rebui…

Because this area is pretty far from downtown, it really could be a great place for a neighborhood town center, with things like banks, medical offices, maybe a city hall annex, things that would be of service to the community. This would also provi…

Wow we are not the only ones who know about eskers!

Yes the school on the corner was called Pleasant Grove. Gosh has it been that long since they closed it no one remembers? Pleasant Grove Square or Corners would be a great name for that area. Huge numbers of people live out there now, the businesse…

I like South Side, that could cover a large area, and is different than "South Lansing". I could be wrong but wasn't the drive in theater on Cedar were the Mega-Mall is now called The North Side Drive In? Back in the day we called all of the area N…

I will have to slow down and take a good look at the new solar panel arrays installed in the two east side parking lots at MSU. They are really shinny! They are kind of shocking to see out there in the middle of the woods and fields, like the wind m…

The BLW has installed new LED street lights on Elm Street west of S Washington. I do like how these lights only illuminate the area directly below, not above, making less light,[night sky] pollution. However the light they do shine is very cold and …

I think "The French Neighborhood" could work, from the school name not the language. Most Lansing neighborhoods were known by the schools there in the old days.

Thanks for the info, that restaurant always looked closed, I am surprised to hear about it. My older brothers and sister went to French, I think that building could be turned into something really nice. That would help to pull up the surrounding ne…

Thinking of that area, it could be a small hub,[Outer REOtown or The Walter French Neighborhood ] the school building could house a lot of residents, they could support area small businesses that might extend up Mt. Hope to S Washington. A traffic …

So long ugly building!

Yes if it is all such a great idea to sell City Hall why is it is such a delicate and secretive issue?
-
I have not seen but heard work beginning over there. I guess they are starting with moving the garden wall "stone by stone" {is there another way to move a stone wall?}. I hope they do build the walkways they depicted, it seems like they extended to…

The new condos will have great views!
-
I am hope again that these pathways or what ever they call them, mean that they are putting down new sidewalks, perhaps with trees or landscaping. The latest final drawings do not include areas like the "fishing platform" on the south bank and S. Wa…

I agree, this a the most prominent intersection in East Lansing, and what ever is built there will likely be a great success, I think they could get on with it, without these incentives. We need a ghost buster to go to that building and get what eve…

This is the third summer I have lived in REOtown and I have noticed the changes in the neighborhood in that short time. It has been very interesting to see. When I first moved here a friend visiting my building was afraid to leave his car parked on …

I thought I saw a drawing with spiral walks leading to the street level from the river trail on the south bank. I don't think I just made that up!
-
I wonder if the BWL can figure out how to get Mexico pay for it's Big Beautiful Wall. Maybe it will be OK but I'm a bit skeptical about the wall being a draw for people . I also thought they were going to connect the river trail to this area, that w…

Good point, green parking lots and more trees are always better. I do like how it does not look like "senior housing".
