  • LSJ.com has an article about the Lake Trust Bank building a new branch in the 600 block of Capitol Ave.[?]at the corner of St. Joe and S Washington Ave. I think it meant the 600 block of S Washington Ave. anyway, it is going to be nice to see a new …
  • I was trying to imagine if it was up to me :} what could be a nice little urban village four corners there. With buildings up to the sidewalks and parking behind. This developer never really considers "urban design" in his developments. Capitol Comm…
  • Yes, this site is really a big "wow look at that!" moment when driving east on Michigan Avenue.
  • I noticed a couple of new features of our skyline while driving around. It was the first time I noticed a shadow cast across Michigan Ave. at the 600 Block building site. I know that shadows are long at this time of the year, the shadow cast across…
  • If you would like to see the type of house that was in the neighborhood where 496 is now, check out Zillow.com and look up 500 W. St Joesph. It is really very grand inside with beautiful woodwork. This house was kind of modest compared to many of th…
  • There are some great photos of all the billions of dollars worth of developments currently being constructed in the Greater Lansing area on the LSJ.com website. It was pointed out that that $ 3.5 billion dollars, is an amazing number for a city our …
  • On Michigan Ave in EL, they are finishing up the water main work and have repaved the street there. I was a bit disappointed that they have not upgraded the streetscape, no nice new curbing or sidewalks at the corner just the basics that was there b…
  • I was wondering about the Delux Motor Inn site, I thought they were going to address that site as well. It is going to be great to see the new development going up on the Lake Trust Block.
  • Just when you think there is a part town that may never be redeveloped they have been coming in with plans for a spot like this! What a good sign for Lansing. Now we need to repave the bridge and road there, the street has one the worst road surfac…
  • I wonder how or why someone on the City Council would be against building more housing? Maybe she just trying to make some final waves before she exits her position. I believe that this area is going to need a lot more housing in the future as I th…
  • If you would like to see something kind of amazing checkout the Googleamaps 2017 photo of this corner, it is a "before picture" from only two years ago that really show how far downtown EL has come in such a short time. It will great to see an offic…
  • I went to Silver Bells and noticed these two places were open. I thought it may be just a pop-up deal just for that night, It is great to see they are reopening both places. Silver Bells was very enjoyable this year with the weather being just right…
  • I was pleasantly surprised when I drove past this building yesterday. It is starting to look pretty good! It is true that the stone siding is only on the first floor, but the siding above looks alright, now that it is nearing the finish I am happy w…
  • It will be a great day when I pass by this school and see the renovations have begun!
  • I was by here Monday, and it is further along towards finishing. I am impressed by how nice the renovation looks, I think it will be a great address and will fill up quickly.
  • Opps I was commenting on an old post.
  • I agree it is a downturn that is possible especially with the current "leader" in DC. What gives me a little hope is despite all this trade war nonsense the economy has kept rolling along quite well. I would think with different leaders and retreati…
  • It is interesting to think that the huge parking lot around Sears was one big reason many folks left downtown forever and now it sits there a huge empty parking crater. That lot is a very large area, I could see a whole neighborhood of housing and r…
  • OK, It's just a kind of silly confusing name to me, I'd want to make sure everyone knows it is a restaurant if it is open to the public. I do think it is one of only two restaurants in Lansing that has a river view, I would include that fact in the…
  • It is the lot that is between the apartment building[on the north east] and the City Market building that was free for market customers. I knew what M.P. stands for it just sounds like the name of a social club, not a restaurant. I think naming a bu…
