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…

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…

Interesting, fun, but kind of ugly. Maybe they could set a small merry-go-round or some sort of attraction for that area as well. It is sort of a block you just pass through, it will be good to have people using that part of the park. I think that b…

The tower was built at the same time as the Gannon building. I was a student at LCC when the building opened in the mid 70's. I am not sure of it's function, but I am sure it is ugly it was then and still is. I drove along Greenlawn and it was so n…

What a sad state of affairs out there, first what are they trying to protect downtown? I think it looks like kind of a mess, dirty sidewalks and potholed streets, empty shops, tree space with no trees. Add towering and ugly parking structures, well …

I think it is OK not really spectacular,is this a computer generated depiction, it kind of looks like video game art. If the clock face area and other light details are sandstone and there are textured red bricks as is kind of indicated it will have…

I hope it looks better than the drawings. They look like a slight variation of more of the same. Lots of black top for students with two cars I guess.

I was just pointing out that there is a great little bookshop on Grand River, of course it is not like bookshop/cafe type place. I am not sure that business model is working so well these days, aren't they closing a lot of Barnes and Noble shops?

If you are into a unique used bookshop [they have some new books} you should go to Curious Book Shop. The place is packed with every kind of book, there are books pamphlets and posters from MSU and Lansing history. You can not leave without buying s…

I was elaborating on the idea of a grocery in a new development as a part of a way to animate the building with people, it could be a restaurant court, anything but a bank or a Rite-Aid,laws offices, or medical clinic. Maybe a nightclub, and a small…

There was a grocery on Grand River down in the 500 block. I think it was a Spartan Store or maybe an IGA. The store was always busy, it had this cool big glass electric eye that opened the automatic door when you crossed in front. I have seen lots …

This is such an important corner, I hope they present a plan that will just blow their socks off at first sight, because I think E.L. will try to micro-manage a plan that was less than excellent from the start. This would lead to further delay. I be…

The sidewalk and lighting project at the Capitol building is finished and looks really really nice. The security pillars in the sidewalk seem to stand out, I guess I will get use to them. My only question would be why just the sidewalks? I would thi…

I drove down Clemens yesterday and it was such a relief to drive on the smooth pavement I was tempted to go aaahhhhh as I rode along. Why did they stop at the bridge? the street leading to the bridge is still cracked up and full of pot holes. On st…

I have noticed the empty lot on Elm Street next to the river is being cleaned up and the for sale sign is gone. Anyone know about what may be going on there?

I agree, making Greater Lansing sporting activities and facilities a part of an overall economic growth plan and is now already bringing visitors to Lansing. These would be people would not have come to Lansing except for their sporting event being …

Thank you for posting these interesting photos that I have not seen before. It may have been just an over look typo, but you said REOtown in your description, which is a recent place name for the S. Washington Ave neighborhood. I may be wrong but we…

I got a close up look at the new lamps in front of the Capitol. They are so beautiful with many great details that you have to stop and take a look at. The front stairs were open as well as the big front doors, which I have not seen for a long time.…

I took another look at the drawing on google and I missed the second story arched windows. There it sits right behind the LSJ, maybe it was part of the power plant. I would like to see photos of the neighborhoods where 496 is now. Thank you for po…

You got it right it seems to be second LSJ building. If you google image original Lansing State Journal Building there is a little drawing titled Lansing State Journal's New Home, [ don't know how to transfer it here] that looks like this building. …
