  • Perhaps I was reading too much into "they did not say what their plans are for the site" hoping maybe they do have plan! While driving around I noticed crews cutting down all the trees on the SW corner of Oakland and Cedar, is this area part of the…
  • I read in the LSJ online that the Grangers are planning to tear down their building on Grand Ave. starting in March and kind of hinted that they may be planning something for that space. The photo in LSJ.com was kind of funny with this wicked old gr…
  • Thank you for your post, I was rather emotional about what happened and what may happen in our near future. I think up are right about the GM plant, but it was something that I heard that fellow from Ohio say the repubs were going to take a look at…
  • If I have stifled conversations here I am sorry, I was and am worried about our community and country however I will not inject politics into our convention here any longer, my hope is Lansing will continue to grow and here is where we talk about th…
  • I am quite worried about the Grand River GM Plant. I think the human they/them just elected has a long memory of its enemies and may be thinking of our former Mayor when they decide what projects and companies will be funded. I Hope our Govenor will…
  • Wow OK! I live in a country that hates me and my family, white straight frat boys were yelling "let's go Brandon" to wake me up to the place I really live last night at 2 am. I used to live in a place although a small village not always peaceful but…
  • Happy Election Day! We made it! It is my hope that we can all turn our attention to many other subjects at least that is what I plan on doing, may good prevail! Yesterday I walked by the new International Student Center and saw some of the very int…
  • Maybe there are really two Gary Grangers! There was no school choice in those days, you went to the school in the district where you lived, so maybe his family had a house out in Holt. Does Gary G own vacant rundown buildings down there as well? I t…
  • Well, it could be that there is another Gary Granger who went to Holt, but I remember him at least going to Dwight Rich and I passed his family's home on the corner of Colonial Plaza and Pleasent Grove every day on the way to school, and I also reme…
  • I have a "kind of funny" story about Gary Granger, Imo! I signed up to attend my 50th Sexton High class reunion late, when I got there, they gave out name tags, I guess Gary G was a late no show, so they used his name tag to make mine [another Gary]…
  • I think you are wrong about the Gov. Why would she want to save parking lots, and how would the help Hertel? The word "forced" does not apply to this situation, if you have a job with the State and your employer wants to do your job in an office wit…
  • I have been wondering what is holding up the repaving of E. Michigan by the Red Cedar development. All the water works are flowing, and it would seem all work except for the paving has been done. Does the Red Cedar development have a place name?
  • I am a bit confused! Are you talking about 116 W Ottawa? Also is the building depicted at Walnut and Ottawa still an apartment building? The new drawings are quite a relief, the nighttime lighting will add a unique building to our skyline. OK let ge…
  • The autumn colors are really beautiful this year around the city. On the Red Cedar I have seen fish! and the Great Blue Herron comes to find those fish almost every day at the waterfall. The water is quite low but is flowing very clear, as is the wa…
  • I read an interesting opinion ed. in the City Pulse about saving Eastern. I was surprised to read that the architects for Eastern were the same who designed the Michigan Union and the MSU Union.
  • Thanks for the information. It looks like a terrible plan. I wonder what they need this building for. I have always disliked the placement of the street and the church. These days they could close one side and still have no traffic problems. It was …
  • I watched an interesting video on YouTube about current life in Detroit. The commentator was interested in Detroit's resurgence and how they are becoming a better city with its current 700,000 plus population and leaving behind the old ideas and per…
  • I remember the downtown library was renovated just a couple of years ago, perhaps they did not update the building's infrastructure. This is perhaps the most "Lansing" building still standing and being used for its original purpose. Lansing's Kennet…
  • I wonder why the State did not decide to build the new facility in downtown Lansing. I have never liked Secondary Complex; I know some things are not a good fit for downtown, but this new facility could have been built downtown imo!
  • Thanks I did not pay attention to the subscription price, and I think this maybe too much for what I get from the LSJ.
