I like to shop at the Aldi store on Pennsylvania Ave and have found that it is a kind of easy to miss the entrance drive do to the mess of roads and ramps. I also hope they could do something about this because it really does play into my thoughts w…

Thanks for your comments, I could be wrong but I don't remember crossing the tracks to get to the market I was speaking of. This was 1981 so not many folks who live here now, who lived in Lansing back then. This place was an independent super market…

I think there is a vintage photo posted on the history discussion page that depicts Kalamazoo Street in the late 19th century, with this building. That would make it well over 100 years old. It would be great if they were going to do something with …

I would not really like to see a big chain restaurant in downtown. I do not think the thyme park facades like in the "town center" on Lake Lansing Rd. would look right or fit into downtown. A chain that fits into the an existing building could work,…

I would have to agree with MichMatters. The rendering is very much less than inspiring. If it were white I would say it would look right in any Florida beach front condo complex. I know the little line of store fronts has been well used, but why not…

I think that having an auto dealership in such a prominent spot on Michigan Ave. might not be the best use but I think it might be appropriate in this case Lansing being the place were we make the best cars in America. I am hoping it does not look l…

The drawing looks interesting, and seems to indicate a gallery included as part of the new Vets. facility. It is a good idea to include a public space in a college building [if that is what that is] to help make the campus a part of, not apart from …

It is very good that Lansing will start looking at the neighborhood commercial corridors. It is kind of ironic that Holmes Road is one of the few nicely paved roads and is pleasent to drive. I agree that the four corners at Holes,and Cedar, MLK, Ple…

I could be wrong, but there seems to be activity in two of the shops near the new vintage shop with the octagon shaped window.Also the for sale sign is also gone from the nice building next to the BBQ shop. It looks like a natural place for a restau…

It would be a good thing if the county did take over the trail,if they have the funds to take better care of it. It seems kind of silly it is money for trails in Ingham county, does it make a difference which pocket it comes out of. I was wonderin…

It would seem to me that the city could have it's own emergency repair fund in the parks budget, maybe they already do. It is hard to think of any very large emergency that could happen short of a very bad flood. Most of the trail is 10ft. wide stri…

I find it kind of amazing to hear your report about the idea of the river trail going three or four blocks down Waverly to Old Lansing Road. I am sure everyone knows that Waverly Road was a racial line that African-Americans were not suppose to cros…

I was thinking perhaps building the ped. bridge on the Waverly Ave bridge maybe a extension along the east side of the bridge. Using the existing structure as the support for a bike/ped. lane kind of hooking onto the side so it would not actually be…

I grew up near Moores River Drive and I remember when the built they four lane boulevard section with the bank wall from Mt Hope to Waverly, it was just two lanes before with little gravel turn outs if you wanted to look at the river. There use to b…

Thanks for such an interesting report. I do like those houses, and what is left of what was one of Lansing's oldest neighborhoods. Most of the Capital Complex seems to be built in a defensive way, all on top of or behind huge walls. There is really …

I love the river trail and it is good to hear that Lansing will be getting a far share of the parks and trails millage. I believe that investment in the downtown part of the trail will be returned by people using it, maybe even stopping to spend som…

I like the idea of an industrial aspect to a building at the REOtown sign site, there was a water tower in the Diamond REO plant the had the logo painted on it and could be seen while driving up Cedar or Washington. I was in Detroit recently and the…

I was away for a long time so it all pretty amazing to see change in the central city of Lansing. I have to agree that I really don't see a downtown vs.stadium district thing. The businesses that left may have had many reasons all different for leav…

They both have some good and not so good aspects. I like that the new one uses the whole block. I could see the "row house" part use the architectural points from the old building they have incorporated. The new is all squares and rectangles and doe…

That is so great to hear, I hope they consider making it look nice. The Lansing Center stairs seem to have a bad gate you really have to watch your step there. I hope they plan a bike path up to Michigan Ave from the river trail. It could go up Muse…
