  • That is really good news. There are so many places that need repair and maintenance, and even beautification. I wonder about the river level and who controls that. It is very shallow below the damn right now, you can see the bottom and from the Mo…
  • Thanks, I have not been out that way during my year back home. When I moved east there was nothing out there, so I guess I should go find out there is a whole mini-city out there, with more to come. Maybe not as looks like kind of more of the same,…
  • The description stated that this may not be how the buildings will appear, so perhaps that means they will look better than theses drawings. The apartments look interesting but the market building looks like the Lansing City Market. I am not a big f…
  • I would like to see a lot more resurfacing plans there are so many streets in very rough shape. It's a start. In the future if the city begins to get some more money from the state and feds,[soon I hope] maybe the city could say, divide the city i…
  • The elevator towers are up for the U-village high rise building on Harrison. This project is really moving along so quickly, it make me wise the university could run the other development project around Lansing.
  • I like that solution, put it where it should be in the already paved over lot to the south west. Like I have already said all of these added attractions are going to cost millions, yet they don't have money to procure more appropriate land. I may b…
  • I use to go to Sears in Hyannis a lot. and there it was a nice mall store that they have remodeled twice in the last tens years. Here at Frandor I find Sears feels like you are in a basement. The surrounding parking lot is very desolate, and the whe…
  • Thank you Mich, that was very interesting, and kind of sad to know just how the city has so little money to spend on the streets. I guess what we need to do is vote for people who will make infrastructure a priority. I have only been driving around …
  • I thought it was kind of odd that the mayor had this press conference like it was all a done deal. I guess that's his "m-o". They still have a few steps to go before it all happens. Hopefully I will be living an another neighborhood be the time the …
  • I was wondering about how and when certain street where rebuilt. South Washington in REOtown is so nice, it is such a relief to turn down that street now framed by green trees and great looking street lamps,the smooth pavement feels and looks great.…
  • On a drive by yesterday I noticed that they are beginning to construct the facade of the Sky View building. It's moving right a long.
  • When I read about this funding plan I thought I heard the "ut-oh" lady from the Lucy Show. I take it to mean the developers [?] want the city to build the foundations for the new buildings. I know that I have been out in the middle of the ocean for …
  • It looks like they did rehab a couple of the old houses, the lots seem very deep, maybe that's where the new units will fit. I am going to take a drive past over there and see it live!
  • I do not know where Flowerland is, but I think jumbo big box stores with the parking lots they come with are not a very good fit for a city center. I do not even know what they sell at costco. Some big box retailers reshape their boxes to fit into u…
  • I think a great place for a Costco would be the big lot on Lake Lansing Rd. next to Eastwood, keep the big boxes in the same neighborhood. Does East Lansing have a downtown business association? Maybe they would be the ones to write on bad street …
  • I am very impressed with this development. I have often imagined such a "cottage court" as a way to put a dense housing development on a small urban lot. I think they might be optimistic about the price they will get, but everyone selling a house is…
  • I also noticed this move. It is a really large facility that is very specialized. I would say that another oil distribution company would be the only business that would go in there. It did seem to happen quickly, and I wonder did they go out of bus…
  • I was at the Art Festival, which is great, lots to see,lots of very nice art work. What I noticed also is that East Lansing's streets are as bad as anywhere. The sidewalks and ally are so broken and dirty it's kind of gross and dangerous.The street …
  • I was by the site and noticed that they have processed the trees that were felled last March. I read were they are going to us some of the trees for park benches in the new development. That would be nice if it turns out to be true. There is a huge …
  • That house is brand new. The house it replaced was pretty old, it is in the background of many of my family's snap shots as I grew up across the street. The new design really fits in the neighborhood, but it does not look at all like the house it re…
