I am not there for dinner often. It does seem like the market is working here. I think starting at square one with any new restaurants going in there, that would be to serve really good food. There are hundreds of places to eat in the area, why woul…

Thank you hood, you said it better than I did. I did not mean to bring ethnicity into the conservation. it doesn't matter to me who lives there. It just reminds me of living in a tourist town,where something nice would be built, a common statement b…

I am really have been impressed that the place is even there and for the most part is successful. Another row of buildings between the movies and the apartments in the rear, would give a more urban feel and connect the areas. They could open up stor…

It would also be nice if the state would landscape the both side of the mound the 127 sits on. They could at least plants trees maybe plant wildflowers that bloom through out the seasons. It looks like a weedy wall now, and especially ugly in the wi…

If I were running such a huge company I would consider changing the name at least here in Michigan. While I am not sure they were trying to get people from outside the hospital to dine there, upon hearing that name that would make sure no one from o…

I think it is an improvement over the first design with the round port windows. It looks like several other new apartment buildings here, perhaps fitting into it's space on East Michigan a bit more. I still as always, wonder what's up with the false…

Please just let me say that my observations are mostly anecdotal, I have not lived here for 35 years so upon my return I have noted a large increase in the number of Asian people, which in 1980 was almost zero. I happened to be related to a Chinese …

Thank you. I do have time to post so I often try to keep the conversations going. I have been interested in Lansing development since I was young, so I am glad to talk with others who have the same interest. Post do not have to be profound, go ahead…

I was pointing out that many students who are also from China would be living at the Sky Vue building. They changed their target tenets from mixed to all student, renting by the bed. I was noting that Lansing tax payer subsidies are being used to he…

It seems at times and by the list of last comments that I am the only one posting here. I hope that is not because I offer points that don't elicit a response, that of course is possible , but perhaps folks are busy this time of year. There many exc…

Just a note, they have repaved the utility digs on W. Mt Hope with black top up to street grade, much smoother ride for those six blocks, now do the rest. I don't know if this was the reason but several people had noted the bad patch job on the seec…

This is potently good news if it does happen. I hope that perhaps a diverse group of industries are built there. not 100% auto related. I also hope they could spend at least a minimum of thought to the design of these buildings. The lands are in the…

I have been glad to hear that I am not the only one upset by the utility tree cuts. I have read and heard several reports. BWL claims they are using a balanced approach, but when you see the hack jobs they have done on some trees and whole neighborh…

Every time I look out my window I can see this building, and have thought what a great place for a pub or restaurant it would be there on the corner. The rear of the building has nice old fashion exposed stairways and landings, they could put some n…

I have thought while driving on Harrison that they work the lights to be annoying in hopes of getting people to slow down or choose another route, but there are many businesses and the train and bus station there and so I think it would be good to …

These buildings look huge driving up Harrison, it really has expanded the dense campus. there are going to be thousands of people living there. The streets are going to be even more crowded, they need to make the lights coordinated to keep the traff…

This is a good thing as Sparrow actually gets things built. This will add a lot to the developer's presentation of this as something that will be a fully occupied place with permanent tax paying tenants. It is starting to look like this is really go…

I agree and I knew about the other issues as well. Still they put them up in a town where artist would often paint night scenes that featured the light from the old style lamps. I guess W. Saginaw has never had ascetics as part of any plan, a bit mo…

I heard an interesting comment about the Sky Vue, in that they received tax incentives from Lansing with the understanding they would provide hundreds of construction jobs, and then did not hire any local contractors. It looks like the only local pe…

I have not seen the new lights yet. When they put in LED lights on the streets of the town I lived in New England it was kind of awful. The white light is very stark, very little color is reflected, in other words it made everything look like shades…
