I was hoping they will do something with the landscaping too. In Detroit, they landscaped the rebuilt parts of I-96 [I could be wrong on the highway number] very nicely with nice-looking walls, large plantings of shrubs and trees near overpasses, an…

I might start using this road again, looks great! Like 1972!

I believe the building on the corner of Washtenaw and Capitol was part of Knapp's Department Store in the '60s and you can still see some of the sidings that look like the main building. I can not remember what departments were in that building, but…

I saw the blue colored walls being installed on the balconies for the easternmost apartments, I see them now in the drawing, it is interesting that the design is again using many different colors on the facade, as opposed to the new Metro Place whic…

I noticed work seems to be beginning at the Temple Building in Old Town. It will be interesting to see how this building is redeveloped. Over on Hosmer, the "The Wing"/ grow house building has had it's first-floor windows bricked over and they ar…

In a building site tour, I noticed the Red Cedar site has grown up a lot. It looks taller and more densely spaced than had expected. So far so good, at least it is going up! The new hospital looks impressive on its spot out there in the fields, bit …

I do like Metro Place, though I would not pay 2K to live there, I hope to see the building animated with people soon. I think the new Capitol View building is one building that shows they can build a project that is of higher quality in design and m…

Empty apartments always look stark, but there are so few attractive details in the design other than large windows. If I were to spend 2K a month on my housing I am sure I could find something nicer than this maybe even with a bathtub! Whatever the …

I noticed that the new Lake Trust building is being built right next to the sidewalks lining up with the small office building next door on S Washington. It is great to see the parking will be away from the corner and they did save one tree! I am im…

The Mayor seems like a nice person, but he lets things happen rather than make things happen. His office's response to the gunmen terrorizing my neighborhood was it's their right to do so, there is nothing we can do about them. Really! nothing? The …

Thank you for that information. I hope there will be something fun that will be going in there, and also I hope they don't just sit on it, it would be nice to see activity on that corner. I wonder if Pablo made a profit on the sale, they did do a lo…

Just a little tree update. The nice row of flowering plum trees that were blooming the other day at St Joe and Washington are indeed gone. I am sure they were in an area that will be a parking lot when the bank opens, car vs tree, the car always win…

I am wondering what effect the new drain system and the small lake will have on this area? I am hoping that they will help to stop flooding, I think it would be beneficial to build a better drain system under the road or by building an elevated road…

The construction of the new Lake Trust Bank branch at St. Joe and S. Washington branch has begun, lots of digging going on. I hope it is a good looking building, a bank branch is not very exciting but it is nice to see a building going up on a forme…

This is I believe the Mid-'70's judging by the cars, that is a '72 Chevy Vega[?] turning down S. Washinton Ave. Also those cement flower planters are from that era.

This is good news. That section of Aurelius will be seeing more traffic when the new hospital and housing developments open. They are also working on Forest Road. I hope they also get to Collins next.

This is a great sight to see. Next, we need the downtown stretch rebuilt. Yesterday even though there was very light traffic, someone flipped their car at the Grand Ave exit. It seems like a lot of accidents happen right in that same area. I wonder …

I did write the mayor with several recommendations, and he said he would keep them in mind. I was thinking more formal with more gardens and landscaping where people might like to hold a marriage ceremony or pose in front of the working fountain for…

I think that there are a lot of nice things they could have done to improve this park and a playground was about the last. Honestly, if I see and hear kids playing there I will be happy, but I kind of hate when Lansing does stuff like this, erect th…

I noticed a project beginning in Rutter Park on Capitol Ave. It looks like the city is building a large playground in Rutter Park right in front of the fountain. I find this disappointing to build a playground in the middle of downtown in our only f…
