It may be time to resurrect the name Lanstredam! There is a "growing" number of people working in this industry, with real tax-paying jobs. I wonder if after seeing Lansing have success in this "field" other communities will change their views on ca…

I saw a lot of old houses with storefronts bump-outs and dormers added out east. The thing that often happens to the floor plan is that they end up with no hallways just one room leading to another. So one might have to walk through a couple of roo…

I know it sounds rather unachievable but a universal minimum wage could go a long way to ending homelessness. I like the idea of a very small tax on corporations[like google] for internet transactions which could be a way to pay for it. If people do…

I am of the opinion that the Mission is fine where it is, I really never see much activity outside the building anyway. I said "if it were me" that was homeless and in need of shelter I might prefer to not have to be out on Michigan Ave. with all ki…

Maybe people already know this, S.Washington Ave will be closed at the CN tracks starting Monday. I am hoping that is for building a new crossing there, the road has really gotten bad. Also, I finally figured out that the part of the River Trail tha…

In train spotting news, I saw the Amtrak Blue Water passing by this morning and noticed the brand new passenger coaches built by Seimens have been put into service! I will have to take a better look but I think they may have even replaced the ancien…

I could look at this two ways, one may be that Lansing is not ashamed of its charity and homeless people there it is right on our main street. The Mission dates from a time when this was kind of skid row and is perhaps the last remnant of that time …

I noticed the pine poles[why?] being installed the other day. The design is OK looking but seems, as I have said before, dated. It's almost 2021 let's get some new intriguing ideas! It is good to see a building fill that empty space. I have to sa…

This building looks nice on the outside as well! It really fits in very nicely. It will be a great day when these rooms are filled with Spartans.

I will hope for a positive reaction to the new plan, I think any improvement would be welcome over there but people do have to get their two cents in that is for sure. The open space is really just an old playground field with no park-like features,…

Good news! That neighborhood is actually pretty nice with lots of trees, some blocks are better than others but for the most part, there are a lot of well-kept homes in a fairly dense old fashion subdivision. You can see signs that before 496 this w…

I was able to take my favorite back route to the P.O. via Hazel Street which has reopened and Aurelius. The Big MJ grow house on Hazel looks more fortress-like every day, a new owner has taken over the little cafe on the corner of Penn and Hazel, ne…

I hope what we wait to see is a cool 30 story building standing out above our skyline. I am always too optimistic when I hear about this sort of "big plan" but this fellow seems to be well connected to Lansing and to money. I have never understood w…

A very nice looking building, I like the brick all the to the top. It seems weird now to see the old ghost building that sat there for so long, I do not ever think "oh I miss that building" I am always so amazed by what has taken its place when dri…

OK, I will try to be real! I will be able to send a little donation next month!

Does just clicking on an ad help? Even I can do that!

I wonder if this will mean more students downtown. I hope that when normalcy returns all the people who are going to school will choose to attend in person, I think people will have gained a new appreciation for being in a classroom with other stude…

I will take a better look at the rendering of the build on the sign, it does have the look of "Intrigue" about it!

The new Lake Trust building is looking kind of interesting, there is a wedge/fin-shaped marquee on the St Joe side that I would guess recalls 1950's tail light fins or maybe a motel sign, it looks interesting anyway. It is a smaller building than I …

I agree with your thoughts mainly, I guess no solution is perfect! I was thinking I have lived long enough to see the smoke-belching old smokestacks at Eckert replaced by the "three stacks", now they are obsolete and are now being phased out of use,…
