I agree that MSU could have built in downtown Lansing, and while there may have been good reasons for them to build in G.R. I still think they should build and stay in Greater Lansing. It is true that in the 60's and 70's they knocked down the whole…

Thank you for your post, it at least makes the situation there understandable, it's politics. We don't exactly have developers lining up to build in Lansing, you are right they should stick to their roles in our city government and and work together…

It seems to be a kind of misguided on all sides. It also seems strange that the neighbors would object to subsidized housing in a neighborhood full of lower income families and sub-standard housing. The "glamour of Old Town" does not go very far bey…

Please be sure and tell seeclickfix.com about these road conditions, they often, but not always, respond and at least patch the pot holes. It is true when you drive down Michigan, Clemens,Greenlawn,S Washington or S Holmes there is a physical feel…

As we are talking about bus lines here, I was wondering if there has been any progress in the building of the Michigan Flyer depot on E. Michigan at Howard. They took down some houses and that was about it.

That being, said I would not pay that much to live at Eastwood. It is interesting that so many people would.

This design is an improvement, and looks pretty good. It actually looks something like the 3 deck-er row houses in Providence[I see that it is Provident and they are four stories] and all of New England north or Bridgeport. I also like the brick fac…

I know the amount I pay for rent I pay could easily pay a mortgage, and your right about people moving here from a big city. To me coming from Mass.to me the rent is really cheap, my heat is included as well as gas and water. When something goes wro…

I think the strong mayor type of local government is actually more democratic, in that a mayor has to face re-election and is more answerable to the voters than an appointed city manager. [I don't know how they do it in E.L.] I also think the opport…

Maybe it was the landlord's fault but I always found Conrad's store front very dirty and unappealing. I think that block is going to be much in demand with developments across the street.

I have also found boarders and city limits interesting. I have noted the the road gets much worse once you cross from East Lansing to Lansing on Forest Road. It is interesting in the sense that humans draw these lines, and they often draw a real but…

I thought it was interesting that the owner of the bar has gone on to sell macaroons! That would seem about as far as you could get from that old bar.

I took a walk on the River Trail toward Potter Park, I wanted to get a look at the rehab. of the old Knapps warehouse. While the building looks very nice, they have cut down at least 100 trees on the southern bank of the Red Cedar River. It looks re…

It would be interesting to look at a pre frandor 127 map to see where and how a better street grid could have been built in the area. 496 and 127 are poorly designed with many exits that should have much slower speed limits on exit ramps as they ap…

I am not quite a senior citizen yet, but I find driving in this area quite frightening and confusing. It's the one place in Lansing that reminds me of Boston and not in a good way. There is not much room to change the traffic pattern there, maybe di…

I noticed what seems to be demolition work starting at The Lansing State Journal building downtown. I was beginning to wonder if this project was really going to happen, it is really great to see it get started.

A "used appliance" store! I guess if you put the word vintage, in place of used, it sounds better. It is better than a empty rotting out building. It would be cool if it were one of those places that restores old "vintage" stoves and fridgs. to mode…

There is an a news story about the end of the downtown hotel building restrictions agreement with Raddison in the LSJ. I think it is interesting that they could have built a new hotel all along had someone wanted to build one without tax incentives.…

How ever great it is to see muti-million dollar developments being built in Greater Lansing, this depiction of the building is really bad. So many false roof lines so many unattractive angles, and you can not tell what materials are used. For $67 mi…

It is a good idea to charge something, I would not be surprised if there were people who were not going to the station using the free parking which is rare[game days!] in that area. I also like the idea of showing your bus or train ticket sub to get…
