Of course, I understand that it's all about money. Thirty or forty years is a "long term" investment that's for sure. Meanwhile, the rest of us get to look at a half-empty downtown. I know business people do not have to be civic-minded and many are…

It's true that we tore down a lot of great buildings that framed the streets downtown. In hindsight, many of them could have been saved. It looks so busy full of people and businesses. I think that any restoration of a downtown retail district would…

Thanks for the info...

This may have been already happening and I just noticed, but I saw several dumpsters full of debris behind Old Eastern High School yesterday, which might mean the renovation of that building is starting.

That is good news!

I have seen a lot of patios at Metro Place [ymca] with furniture. and cars in the parking lot so there are people moving in there. Thinking of "Building 600" I guess that's the name, I would have built a couple more stories on the apartment side, th…

It looks like a very preliminary drawing, I like that the building will have a nice facade facing Michigan on the south and the also on the west side, not crazy about the surface lot but it is depicted as having nice landscaping. I would think the e…

Thanks

I saw in the "Eye Sore" feature of the City Pulse they featured the downtown traffic circle as the eyesore of the week. I agree that the circle should be a showpiece, not the afterthought it seems to be now. I am glad they did not put up a contempor…

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Kindness and time are the only remedies.

Are the "islands" in the middle and the connecting streets in the township? They are some of the worst and most confusing and that's saying something! I think I saw the access road behind the eastern Frandor building had been closed. I wonder if th…

Last week when I came home from my cabin where I am off the grid, out of cell phone range, and always on a news blackout to hear that my younger brother was sick and the next day he passed away. I went back to the cabin to try to recover this week t…

I agree that the school building is a beautiful example of Academic Gothic design, and was built to be a beautiful place for children's imaginations to grow. It is touching to me that the people of Lansing in those days built such beautiful public s…

This is the type of development I like to see happening right in the middle of one of Lansing's oldest neighborhoods. The combination of the smaller parts of the plan bodes well for its success. I will look forward to shopping at the Co-op which wil…

I like the park idea, I would like to see a small car lane crossing maybe under the park at Butler Blvd. to reconnect the neighborhood

Wow, that Kentucky building had some good design features, I think they could have rehabilitated that one. Lansing City Hall is a much better example of Mid-Century design, it would be a shame to lose it and have replaced it with something like the …

I had noticed some renovation going on there and caught a glimpse of the new mural. It is nice to see so much new art decorating Lansing.

I remember when this idea was printed in the LSJ. If you take a look at it the "mall" behind the Capitol it resembles this plan except for the obelisk! Thank goodness they did not take down the Capitol Building to build this. The movement to the mod…

I think overnight parking will be fine here in Lansing, we have had it on my block for years already with no problems. The one problem I could see coming up is abandoned or derelict vehicles just left parked in front of your house. Over in Montreal…

S. Washington Ave is open again after the RR crossing repairs. I had hoped they would install a crossing like the new one on Waverly, but they just blacktopped it. It is much improved but will need doing again soon with the blacktop lasting a shorte…
