It will be nice to have the surface lot removed, and maybe then the law makers will get some exercise when they have to walk a bit further to get to their car. I have read that exercise helps brain function}. The plans for the visitor center could l…

I noticed the photo with the smoke stacks and view of downtown is no longer on your photo page. That is the one I think was taken from Hill street.

I guess I am confused [easily done] I thought you were talking about the building that would become Davenport U. you can see that building from the skyline shot which must have been taken from a water tower across the river from perhaps from the Hil…

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…

I like your post Mich. It would seem that the load mouths out there are shouting too late. If it true that opponents were booing and name calling the supporters it seems to be sadly typical of civil discourse these days. I would like to tell the fol…

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]. …

There is plenty of room at that point to build many left turn lanes like on E. Michigan Ave and MLK . I think that that sort of left in possibly safer and not that difficult. How many years has this been in the planning? I don't think a few business…

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…

The Riverfest sounds nice. The Common Ground Festival seems expensive and exclusive not inclusive. One night for rap one for country etc. is not going to encourage mixing of the tribes. Plus at my age I'm not paying money to stand in a field listeni…

They built many of the features at Adado park in the 70's. It was part of the urban renewal projects of that time. You can see the textured cement they were so fond of in the spiral wall by Shiawassee that was suppose to be fountain. So after 40 yea…
