Very impressive. I like the retail level and the high buildings are set back so as not to loom over the street. I think theses building will fit in that space while creating a comfortable sidewalk level. It might be a bit shady on Albert Street in t…

Great! It will be great to see it finally happen and it looks like it will. Maybe they reversed the curse!

Now I see the monopoly houses on googlemaps. I think however large the new buildings are an improvment.

I agree that they should do it right, but when are they going to reach that point is the problem. I know that the two projects are different in terms of funding and other points, but it just seems strange that one development has been talked about a…

It is like two different sets of people are in charge, the slow people and the fast people, I like the fast people. Why can't they help the slow people up the street?

Why is this so difficult? Maybe there is some sort of curse on that building and it does not want to be torn down! Every time they get close to actually to doing it some kind of problem pops up. I really hope they can figure out how to get this deve…

Yes it really looks bad and I think it is going to be a long time before it looks any better. I use Townsend and Walnut to get downtown just so I don't have to look at it. But of course then I have to by the Olds buildings which also makes me mad! S…

I think it might be better to build a new club house and parking along Wood Street. It could be a modern facility maybe with a restaurant and function rooms like most country clubs. This way more people than just golfers could enjoy such a beautiful…

Wow you guys are brave! It looks to me like there is enough room there to create a protected bike lane. Maybe some kind of bike lane overpass at the RR crossing or to take walkers and bikers over to May Street, go down May to Maryland and back to E.…

It looks like they are going to start something at the substation site. They have put up all this new fencing that are on top of sort of orange "Jersey" barriers. I wish they would just get on with it. It's so hot and ugly there now.

That is interesting, you guys may go that way more often, I usually avoid that area and take Mt. Hope out to Okemos. The stadium is the only building in E.L. you can see above the tree line from the 9th floor in my building in REOtown, you can just …

It is unfortunate that both Saginaw and Oakland serve as a state highway is some ways, because it changes the mission of that urban neighborhood street into a high speed one way highway it's propose to move traffic as fast as possible. I for instanc…

What a great plan! I think the town square or four corners is a good way to create an urban village within the greater city. I think Holmes and MLK would also be a good area to re-think. It does not have to be such a mess. There are neighborhoods fu…

I think a signal and bus stop right at the corner of the new drive with a crosswalk there may be a good option. Maybe it could be coordinated with the Penn. Ave lights so as to not stop traffic twice in one block. I hate to think someone visiting th…

It will put a rather tall building in the middle of mainly two story buildings, but the towers are set back so at the street level the would not loom over the sidewalk. I think anyone walking by the would find a similar feeling as today. I think tal…

I like that attitude, it is good to hear this newest project is already on the right track. If all three of these project are built there will be quite a view from the bridge heading west into East Lansing from Okemos.

When you name a place a "dive bar" it usually stops being a "dive bar". Hipsters are among the folks who are in the lead into neighborhoods like Old Town. So yes this brings about changes, but I don't think anyone wishes for the good old days in Nor…

So this is on the south side of Grand River looking at that awful "Element" building across the street? It is really surprising to see another "tall building" development being proposed, this one look really good. I hope the EL powers can get it tog…

Yes there needs to be a light there and the bus stop should be moved to be right next to the crosswalk. There are always people who think it is a good idea just to cross five lanes of traffic standing in the middle of the street there.

I visited Frances Park yesterday and the park was looking very nice with many roses in bloom. They still have they traditional plantings around the picnic pavilion which look very nice. There was a sign at the woodland trail that stated the trail is…
