I am sure it is all been discussed before, but are these new apartments replacing the old U-village at the same number, or as it seems, are they adding to the number of apartments. Is is going to be a very busy area that is for sure. It is interesti…

The new paint and lighting are so beautiful, the dome looks like it glows from inside. How did they ever agree on this and find the money? It does not strike me as something the Repubs. would be interested in.

You can not see the building in this photo. It may be obvious but this photo is looking south down Grand Ave. from Michigan Ave. It was nice to see at one time we had a light-rail system. The large building in question [I guess] is around the corner…

Wow good eye! I remember there was a service station and a Goodyear tire store in that area in the 60's maybe this business on the right was the forefather of that store. The Michigan Theater had a full deep theatrical stage.It was a big building…

I like the idea of MSU building a hospital in Lansing. The present location of "Lansing General" I'm not sure what they call it now, has always seemed strange to me. In the old days there was no ramp off Penn. and you had to drive down the local res…

I saw a very interesting program on PBS in their series called ten things that changed the country. This one was called Ten city parks that changed the country. A very interesting look at the beginnings of the common space to the modern parks of tod…

A rotary or traffic circle could be the answer at Cedar and 496 there is a lot of land there. a circle could bring in the two way Larch and Cedar spin into and out of the five lane S.Cedar, and the highway entrance and exit ramps. Then back to the n…

They both could be two way with a left turn lane like several former four lane streets. Although not a thru-street it works well on S. Washington Ave in REOtown. When the traffic is stopped it is two long lines instead of four short wide lines of tr…

I saw how the main street was repaved in the town where I lived back in 2012. The work out at Farm lane looked like the same process. They remove the whole road bed and dig down at least 8 feet and create a drain with sand, crushed and then whole st…

I am glad to hear he is building out the whole project as planned. I give him points for adding color to the city, even if I don't like the colors. As we have all said before better quality materials would really make these buildings shine. Some str…

It looks like work on this project in underway at the lots on Farm Lane at Mt Hope, the old pavement has been raised and they seem to be putting down sand and stone for the base of a permeable pavement.[I don't know but that is what it looks like]. …

I hope that there is another architect in Lansing that could come up with something better that this. This style or school of design should be left to history and should not dominate the central core of our city more than it already does.

I think that the only reason Clara's lasted as long as it did was because of the building, it's interesting enough to overlook the not that great food. I am here to tell you they had the same problem back in 1979. I could see a Zehnder's kind of re…

I would like to see a lot more resurfacing plans there are so many streets in very rough shape. It's a start. In the future if the city begins to get some more money from the state and feds,[soon I hope] maybe the city could say, divide the city i…

The elevator towers are up for the U-village high rise building on Harrison. This project is really moving along so quickly, it make me wise the university could run the other development project around Lansing.

I use to go to Sears in Hyannis a lot. and there it was a nice mall store that they have remodeled twice in the last tens years. Here at Frandor I find Sears feels like you are in a basement. The surrounding parking lot is very desolate, and the whe…

Thank you Mich, that was very interesting, and kind of sad to know just how the city has so little money to spend on the streets. I guess what we need to do is vote for people who will make infrastructure a priority. I have only been driving around …

I was wondering about how and when certain street where rebuilt. South Washington in REOtown is so nice, it is such a relief to turn down that street now framed by green trees and great looking street lamps,the smooth pavement feels and looks great.…

On a drive by yesterday I noticed that they are beginning to construct the facade of the Sky View building. It's moving right a long.

It looks like they did rehab a couple of the old houses, the lots seem very deep, maybe that's where the new units will fit. I am going to take a drive past over there and see it live!
