I saw an article about the renovation of a Masonic Temple in Downtown Kalamazoo on the M-live page. I think our Masonic Temple downtown would be a great place to turn into a hotel like in Kalamazoo. I hope our other Temple in Old Town turns our look…

I was thinking perhaps when they named Mt. Hope it seemed to be very much a "mount" while getting a horse and wagon up and over it there. I also thought the highest point was up Cedar Street near the Athena Dinner, I am going to take a drive to Nort…

The LSJ.com has another "5 Project to Watch" report. Nothing new except the timeline updates and reassurance that the projects are basically on schedule and going to be successful additions to Greater Lansing. It was noted that a law firm has alread…

I think that would be interesting as well, like how Mt. Hope got its name. The street follows along the top of a "ridge" from east to west with the cemetery area possibly considered a "mount". You can really see the change in elevation at the Penn.…

It is good to see that this will be human space, not marijuana space. It looks like housing is where the developer's money is going right now. If someone was from a big city perhaps the building next to the viaduct might not be a big issue, before t…

The renovation of the "pump house"? next to the Cedar overpass on the north side has started, I noticed new windows have been installed. I will take the street that passes by there to get a better look next time. It is great to see this cool buildin…

I guess we are a city so "Stinky Lansing" problems go along with that. I have wondered if anyone else noticed these bad smell around town. My building's parking lot is right next to the river across from GM and sometimes especially in the summer it …

I agree, there could be a lot of green space included in a better plan, it is such a large parcel of land you could have a quarter or a third densely developed leaving the rest green. a more progressive or environmentally considered plan could have …

The new Lake Trust branch looks about ready to open. There is a large parking lot at least it is in the rear, there is also some nice landscaping. The small office building behind there on S. Washington has major inside demolition going on, maybe so…

I saw an interesting program on the youtube channel "B1M" about the "Wooden City" that is being constructed in a quarter of Helsinki Finland. They are building all kinds of different structures with engineered wood products. Like our building at MSU…

That is interesting to hear. A while ago I saw them harvesting hay, and I wondered if anything was going to ever happen there. It is reassuring to me that these major projects are still going forward, these developers have a lot of faith in the futu…

Now that 496 is open again I would guess that is the reason they have installed a huge new electric billboard on the eastbound side. The new sign is much brighter more colorful than the old one and is also animated changing ads 30 seconds or so. I c…

That is great news about Walter French. My Dad two of my brothers and my sister went to French JHS, when I sit at the light there I notice there are some beautiful details in that building. It will be so nice to see that building full of light and a…

The small house looks like it may have been a school at one time. It is a strange little edge of town area leftover from when it was the edge of town. I like the idea of the city extending the parkland over there.

That is interesting. Knock the neighborhood down and someday build a new neighborhood. I was just speculating about the "30 story building". It sure would be great to see something built there. The destruction of this and nearby neighborhoods made a…

That is sad to hear about. Pulling down century-old homes that will be replaced with what? is wrong to me. Is this the spot on the edge of downtown they are talking about for the site of a 30 story building? Maybe they are going to actually do somet…

Very interesting!

Yes, I think that this would be one way to get these landowners into action. I think the city could also require landscaping and fencing in the downtown district as another way to add cost to their operations. Maybe a tax credit for pulling up black…

This developer already has the grow house on E Kalamazoo and is behind the Love Over Fear billboards. I wonder if the construction on the west side of Cedar across from the John Bean plant is part of his developments?

I was happy to see in the City Pulse that the Holmes Street School project is moving towards the start of construction. I could not find the drawings referred to in the article but I like the "Blackboard District" name.
