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…

I noticed the signs are similar to the one at St. Joe and S. Washington depicting buildings that are not there. I wonder about that project[St Joe] it was talked about a while back but I never saw anything but the sign.

I do not know if the Mayor grew up in Lansing, maybe if he did he might understand how much every neighborhood loved it's parks and how much our lives took place in a Lansing park. We also had schools in each neighborhood that fostered a better sens…

I did not live here during the recent recession, but signs of how bad it was are still evident. The parks, the schools, and the roads all have had their funds cut and look like it. I think of President Obama's stimulus programs and how as soon as th…

I really like the above photo, it creates the illusion of a tall sky scraper near by the three BWL stacks.

If you happen to be over here in REOtown take a look at the new "small/affordable/simple" house on Elm Street it really has turned out to look very nice.

I don't know if the city takes care of this area but the Cedar Street & 496 area is one place that seems be be getting less care each year. It looks like they did at one time as there are flowers and plantings that would look nice if they cleane…

I was a tourist in my own town yesterday! I went to the Olds museum which was very nice I thought. I enjoyed seeing cars and trucks that my family and friends helped to build. I also liked the old photos of the plants around Lansing. They really ref…

I live over here in REOtown and I am very happy to hear that local people will be opening a restaurant at the old service station. I think they already know what how to run a successful business and will be successful here as well. I really love the…

I noticed that as well, I have also noted that the clock has been wrong or not working many days this past year. Maybe they are fixing the whole thing, I hope so!

They are finishing the paint job, painting the trim, medallions and roof tiles red. It really looks great. I do hope they plan to "soften" the black top parking lot with maybe some landscaping.

My sister lives in San Francisco and her house is worth nearly 2 million! It's just a normal house but it's on the top of a hill so that adds about a half million. My question has been who can afford these prices? What do they do for a living? It se…

Thank you I was wondering what was going in there. There are no permits posted. I think a restaurant will do well there, and be a good addition to the neighborhood. Up Elm Street the new "tiny house" is looking good, they replaced the sidewalk and …

I received an invitation from the Capital Region Community Foundation for an event they are having at the former Beer Grotto to share "exciting news about their plans for Downtown Lansing and Michigan Avenue". They are the folks who had the banners …

I sure hope I never see the day Lansing becomes an expensive place to live. I like the fact that you can buy a really nice house for less than 100k. Out east it has become so expensive that is how much a parking space might cost. The thing about you…

I have not set that up either.

LSJ reports that they are going to redevelop the back of the old Michigan Theater. That will be really great if they do. They would bring a facade to the Grand Ave. side of the building to the street. Just an little note about the Michigan Theate…

I was sorry to read in the LSJ that they will not be redeveloping the four corners in downtown Okemos. It seems like a natural place for development with thousands of cars going by all the time. I would like to see Okemos have a real village center …

I could see an historical art and design museum somewhere downtown, I have heard that Lansing does have a collection of art that has been donated in storage some where. I could be wrong about that. I could see historical art as part of a Lansing His…

I found the REOtown page again, so I'll update here. The building on the south side of Elm and S. Washington which has the newly paved parking lot has been painted bright white with red trim. Does anyone know what might be going in there? I am hopin…
