Of course right after I was praising the key shop for repaving their parking lot, they tore out the cedar trees on the north side of the lot. While I understand it was to make the building more visible, I always hate to see green paved over with bla…

Notes from REOtown, there is a new shop in one of the "octagon window shops" that is going to sell re-purposed furniture, they add art to old pieces. In the shops next door there is a rehearsal or maybe recording studio in one and they are gutting t…

Another walk down the river trail I noticed that there is demolition work going on at the "Knapp's Warehouse" which I hope indicates they are beginning the redevelopment of that building. They have also processed about half of the pavement pile that…

While walking in our woodland parks I have noticed great blooms of several different kinds of wild flowers. I think it is the first time I ever saw these little yellow and orange ones called trout lilies. There is also a lot of trillium with big flo…

The only thing that seems kind of off about the Red Cedar trees is that they where cut down before the land has been transferred or sold. It is interesting that there is concern for the rare bats that roosted there, and that was the reason they cut …

I noticed something that could be a positive sign while walking the river trail. They were digging up and processing the mountain of broken pavement next to the Red Cedar near the "Knapp's warehouse" that may be redeveloped. I am hoping they will us…

The BWL seems to have money to spend on lots of "goodies". It is still the worst possible site, even a different part of the park would be better. How about were the large unused parking lot that slops down towards the river, it would be behind the …

It seems like the garden lost this round. Now it is up to city council. A very sad development, hey BWL we are never coming to your side.

I hope someone at the parks board might read this page. When you walk on the river trail you can see a substation on the east side of the Eckert building, and another over at the Fisher Body site next to the tracks. They are huge.The garden sits on…

I was impressed by the State Journal articles that pointed to infrastructure as a place that is holding Lansing back. I think that the terrible state of the roads we have today are a legacy of the austerity government starving policies that were the…

I know about flood plains and insurance from living on the East coast. I agree that some where outside of the flood plain is the best solution. The Eckert site is still a solution if not the best. I hope we never see the day that area is flooded bu…

This is encouraging news. I guess we need to keep up the pressure. I agree that the GM parking lot is the best place for an industrial facility like a power substation. They keep saying that the Eckhert station is in the flood plan, but I can not re…

I found that video very interesting, the Capitol looks really nice these days. it was also interesting to see those plans again after so long. They were the reason the state took down the whole surrounding neighborhood, in exchange we would get this…

The whole thing is kind of strange. I don't really think it is very deceptive ,or necessarily "wrong" to hire people to picket. I can understand how people might react negatively upon hearing the union was doing this. I think "what's the big deal", …

Maybe this is the wrong page for airport discussions, I could not find that page. I think that Cape air may be a part of that program for the small inland airports they serve. They have also expanded to Montana and Missouri. I think I'll write them …

I really love these two pictures as this is my neighborhood. I can remember when the power plant looked like this. It is a nice looking building with all the gear stripped away. I do not know how long this bridge lasted, but it reminds of the S Loga…

I think this will help the airport a great deal, if like you say, the fares in Lansing are the same or better here as in surrounding communities. I see the ads for Flint and their passenger terminal looks more modern and sleek. Lansing's looks prett…

I just received a notice that the feds. approved American Airlines coming to Lansing for a non stop flights to Washington DC and to their Chicago hub. That's great news!

I have not been by there. I am sure it looks shocking. Especially if you did not know the reason. Some people live in this world uninformed. I guess the bats will roost in the remaining woods to the south. It seems like 70 year old maple and oak tre…

I think this a good question. I think re purposing already developed urban land is were we will find space for future development. I think there is still a lot of open private land we could develop. I do not think we should sell any park land, in fa…
