I was downtown today and noticed the bar in the City Market building has vacated their space there and all of the City Market's "free" parking" spaces now have signs that say "M.P. Social parking only" all others towed. I thought that lot was city p…

It's too bad they really wrecked that store with the last renovation whenever that was. The whole place looks like it is in a basement from the inside. Retail is tough these days but this sort of unraveling of the real department stores is about rea…

I read a small article about the Waverly Golf Course project getting started in the LSJ, it said work would start soon and the developers were looking at this as a ten-year project and that they are very committed to this project. Let's hope so!

I have seen historical photos of the day Sweden switched from driving on the left as they do in England to driving on the right as we do here, it was quite a mess! I hope the same does not happen on the big day when we go back to two-way streets dow…

I drove down the newly paved South Capitol Avenue!, it is such a great improvement it's like we became part of the United States again! As a person who grew up here, the condition of that street was a score of embarrassment and shame to me. Of cours…

I was just reading about all the towns in the area that have banned MJ sales. Seems like the local officials are the ones who get to decide this issue even though in most places a majority of people voted to legalize. So all the folks from those tow…

Is this development group Urban Systems with a new name? I think they have some of the same drawings for proposed buildings on their web page. I am happy to hear about the Holmes School, there has been even more vandalism and broken windows there la…

The Washington Ave side of the Lake Trust block would be a great place to build a PAC. I would like to see that dead space filled with beautiful buildings as it seems like they are going to develop the Capitol Ave. side first. Grand Avenue would als…

The outside finish work continues, they are finishing the first floor stone facade and are starting on the upper floors which are being clad in a wood-like siding that looks a little cheap compared with the stone siding used on the first floor. It's…

I'm not super impressed with the design of The Graduate Hotel, but it does look better than the painted stucco siding they have been using for the new outer ring hotels and it is going to be done with light-colored materials so it's going to light u…

There a new depiction of the "600 Block" project a few pages after this one, on the development firm's web site. I like the entry gate next to the tracks. It looks like a billboard has been drawn on the side of the hotel, I am hoping that is just fo…

There are two construtions sites on this street! They are both just a bit further a long then the photo above. I was by here yesterday just to take a look.

This is interesting, I had not considered that they would have to move the signals and street lights. It is cool to be around to see this change back to two-way streets. I can not remember when they were two-way in the old days so the streets have h…

That is good news, this building is really beautiful and has a very prominent address which should be full and active. Thanks for the information. Has there been a date set for a beginning work first shovel ceremony at the Red Cedar site? It will …

I have noticed there a sidewalk protection scaffold put up around the "Bank of Lansing" building at N. Washington and Michigan Ave again. Is there a renovation going on there? The storefront renovation next door looks nice, I would guess that a law …

I can often smell marijuana as I drive by on Hosmer. Of course, that does not bother me! I am hoping that when all of these grow operations start producing the prices will fall due to competition. It is actually a medicine that helps a lot of people…

Sounds like an MJ growing operation. There is one already in the big old black building at the corner, so maybe it is something different as they might not want to have two MJ growing farms in one block.

The buildings under renovation are at 814 E Kalamazoo.

Another site that has work ongoing is on E. Kalamazoo across and up from Art's. It is a small complex of buildings where they are digging up a lot of soil and replacing bricks in the former window frames. The house next door is also being remodele…

I answered my own question by driving out to take a look. The hotel is rising in the green space depicted in the drawing. It is interesting that they are giving the apartments a more prominent location and view. The Hub and The Landmark look so grea…
