  • The cow is in the parking lot beside the "mural building". I am remembering going to that store next to the church, oh well I wish they had one there now.
  • I lived on 300 block of Moores River Drive in the late 70's I do have a memory of a QD sign there. I must have gone in there. I know it is still a church, that is were I vote. I was just saying they could fix up out front a bit. This week was the fi…
  • Wow so cool, I wish you were a billionaire developer! Does the same company own the whole complex? They have also painted all of the buildings along Mt. Hope that use to be a drop forge. It has been all painted at the same time, that's why I wonder…
  • The illustration of the BRT on Michigan Ave. is really good. How could someone look at that and say oh yeah I like the old Michigan Ave. The one women from Meridian said in the article what I think many people over there feel. That being, she moved …
  • It seems like what ever populists appeal he had has turned into something else. The idea of using downtown parkland as a site for a substation should have never been considered in the first place. Then the idea that this land is somehow free would h…
  • There may have been a QD store there but I do not remember it either. I went to the QD on Mt Hope, and Pattengill as a kid, but my Dad worked at REO and I do not remember going to a QD there when we picked him up from work.There could have been at s…
  • It really saddened me to hear this from the city council. The mayor said he was glad sanity prevailed! Were the opponents insane? They painted such a dark [literally] picture of, it must be build it on the garden or something terrible would likely h…
  • Yes, they seem to be cleaning up the little building on the east side of Washington Ave. It's just a block shaped building with a parking lot. They have mowed the whole site including the next lot near the "Fabulous Acres" sign. That would be great …
  • This is great news for REOtown. Across the street all the store fronts except one are occupied and a new mural has been added to the several others in the neighborhood. The parking lot in the middle if the block has been reconfigured with picnic tab…
  • It will be good to have that empty area developed. I had not been down that way, and I never noticed the condos they built on Pere Marquette, it looks kind of desolate back there, but it really is in the middle of the whole city. This development is…
  • What a nice building. It will be interesting to see what they do here.
  • I think the fact that the township basically ignores those little neighborhoods on the east side has to do with race and class, they have nice side walks over in Waverly they just repaved W Michigan Ave. I often go to the the Village Party Store an…
  • Yes it must have been right where the ramp is now. I went to my first catered event there as the safety patrol member from Barnes Ave. The principal came and got me out of class, I was freaking out until he told me that I was going to this banquet, …
  • The map seems so poorly thought out,I have to remember I guess that Frandor was a huge field and really was the edge of town. I can not remember if there was a neighborhood were 127 runs through, or if it was in Lansing Township. I think a business …
  • Very Interesting. I never knew there was a Y there. This is the first photo I have seen of this old one. City Hall was so cool and massive. I have wondered if the used all that stone for another propose. There was a YWCA somewhere downtown as well…
  • I say what ever they do will be great because I have never seen a main street anywhere, except maybe Mexico[love Mexico not the roads], in worse shape. Every town and city from here to the bridge has better main streets, it is kind of a shame right …
  • I agree. It makes me wonder how much it cost to trim all these trees, or when we have a wind or ice storm. They had a really bad ice storm in Eastern Canada in'98 which took weeks and weeks to recover from. With the climate change Mid Michigan could…
  • I am hoping the facade will be light in the sense of it is a huge building by Lansing or any standard and it kind of fills the sky as you drive east down Michigan Ave. so something the is reflective of sky white or light grey tones like sand stone,a…
  • The contractors for the BWL are really doing some drastic utility cuts through the trees all over town. Some streets that had shade over the whole street now are in the blazing sunshine. Where once you saw an archway of tree bows, now the trees are …
  • It would seem like the powers that be are having trouble putting the shovel in the ground at the Red Cedar site. I was hoping we would see the start of construction by now. I'm kind of old and would like to see this area developed while I am still a…
