One good thing I was thinking while reading about this proposal was that a lot of the people who went to LCC during the Recession must have gotten jobs. I think that is one reason why the enrollment had dropped so drastically. As I have said here I …

In Lansing's case, the bare cement element to the designs were very much economic over ascetic decisions. It was cheaper than brick, stone, wood or tile. It was "nice cement" with shinny stones embedded [like Spartan Studium today] just way too much…

Of course, I would not want to keep some folks from going to LCC because they could not afford to park there. I was just brainstorming alternatives to building a multi-million dollar parking structure on Capitol Ave... Perhaps they could build a ram…

I like that idea!

I read where they described the look of the new ramp as having an apartment building-like facade. I don't really see that in these drawings. I do not like the idea of another parking ramp on this block of Capitol Avenue. I understand that they need …

I agree. When they rebuilt this bridge they used similar materials for the [burtalist style] walls that they used at the pedestrian mall on N. Washington Sq... I guess to match but those walls and the bridge walls were never great looking to me, and…

I drove by two big projects in the Lansing area yesterday on the way up north. The dairy plant in St Johns is near finished, it looks like a launch facility [ I read they want to build a real rocket launch facility near my cabin in Iosco County!:{ ]…

They do need to clean up their stores and parking lots. I think the relay on the employees in each store to do these cleaning chores and no one ever checks to see if the work has been done. Some locations like Kalamazoo and Penn. Ave store the emplo…

Perhaps a good idea to increase ridership would be for businesses to give their employees bus passes as MSU and the student housing companies have for their people. I think this could work well for a lot of downtown businesses state and city office…

I was wondering if the MSU students can ride anywhere for free on CATA or just the EL-MSU routes. I know it would never happen but it would really increase ridership and decrease our dependence on the automobile and the need for parking space if eve…

This the nicest looking 7-eleven I have ever seen! I think that it was smart for The Hub to offer the former businesses space in their new building. They had those spaces leased to those businesses before the building was built.

The depiction of the solar farm's layout looks like they leave quite a lot of open land in the pastures as well as some ponds and marshlands. Some grasses will grow with small amounts of light like the wheatgrass farmers plant to cover their fields …

I have spoken to QD about the change in the flavor of the milk. They said that yes they closed the bottling plant on S Washington but did not say where they now bottle the milk, he just said it was Michigan milk. I go to QD for two reasons the MSUFC…

My neighbor Linda Tanner went to the School for the Blind with Stevie Wonder, she said he was very nice and full of energy.

I was at MSU at the same time as Ervin, and I would often see him at the Kellogg Center, and also in downtown Lansing a couple of times where I saw him shopping at Kositcheks and Linn and Ownes Jewelry Store while I was also shopping there. I even s…

It looks like the apartments are going up faster than the hotel. I like the very large windows that can open for fresh air. Those folks will have a great view!

This looks like it was built to last. I wonder why they took this bridge out? It looks like there was space enough to pass under 496 there. The bridge was less than 50 years old when the removed it.

It looks quite dynamic there is a lot going on for a small building. The buildings this will replace are unremarkable but relatively modern so I am happy to see this will be a teardown and building something new, not repurposing the old buildings. W…

Wow, I get an A! Some photos of the old days can draw me in and I can really picture old Lansing. Thanks for posting this one. I wonder if the pavement in this photo is the original concrete pavement of which there is a remnant on displayed in this …

It was very busy on this street. It must be in town, maybe the eastern border of Lansing near present-day Frandor/127? I remember a photo I saw of the interchange of Grand River and Saginaw which made kind of criss-cross that may have been the boule…
