Don't speed down S.Washington Ave in REOTown today! The limit is 25mph! I have watched the cops stop at least six cars this morning! It is a good idea as I have seen drivers using the center left-turn lane as a passing lane to get by people going 25…

There two individuals that one could point to and hold responsible for bad politically motivated spending decisions, the Speaker of the House and the Senate President. I believe we have lost faith in the State of Michigan because that is exactly wh…

I was thinking of a small toll on the roads that cross the borders from OH, IN, WI, and OT, and on plane train and bus tickets not the Interstates within Michigan. Not really a use tax for Michiganders more like an arrival tax for visitors. It cost …

OH, BTW the BWL installed more LED lights! They look awful IMO I should have kept my BIG mouth shut!

A couple of ideas I have had about this are these, perhaps Lansing could start building and maintaining ourselves by creating a street construction department equipped with all the machines necessary to rebuild our roads. Set up one of those pavemen…

This is great news. I rarely use the in-town freeways because of their condition and configuration which makes these roads dangerous. Plus I don't really need to go 75 mph for the three minutes to get across town, but I can see from my windows that …

I know we have talked a bit about this subject before, but wouldn't be a better situation for all the communities around the city to be incorporated into one Greater Lansing, with something like departments or boroughs where the smaller communities …

The penthouse on the "Rum Runners" building at Michigan and Larch is looking kind of cool. There will be a lot of windows and an interesting roofline up there, what a great apartment that will be.

The folks in that building must be in good shape after climbing stairs for so long! My building is circa 1964 and the elevators due go out from time to time, but the management always calls for repairs right away.
-
Thanks for the info. That is interesting that a multi-story residential/office building would not have a full-time elevator. I guess it was all escalators in that store. I remember Knapp's had both and in the ye olde days Knapp's had an elevator ope…

There is some sort of structure being built on top of the Arbaugh building, maybe another penthouse?
-
I have always thought this is a nice looking building, they used quality materials like marble and sandstone. It was such a radically different design from the 19th century City Hall, folks back then thought Lansing was just going to keep growing an…

It would be great if the city tore down that N Capitol Ave ramp, it is about the last structure with the rope imprint cement walls that someone thought were really beautiful? back in the urban renewal days of the '70s. It was ugly the day they built…

Parking structure! This is disappointing, maybe they will design a people occupied ground floor level. I wonder if the ugly block-long parking ramp across the street is ever at capacity? I think that corner would be great for almost anything so it d…

That corner is pretty close to Old Town and the new housing at MSB site so maybe these new developments will spur more activity on the north side of the city. There was an announcement of a new development going up across the river from the Olympic …

No pavement but they had sidewalks anyway. Some parts of our streets still look worse than this today. Parts of E Mt Hope N Grand River Bridge Baker Street to name just a few. I pull up to this corner almost every day I think you are right about the…

It might be too much to hope for that the new MJ center would improve the huge parking lot there. I actually called QD about the milk's bad aftertaste, and the fellow told me that they had not bottled milk there for almost a year. I was surprised t…

I couple of notes of possible interest. Quality Dairy has closed its plant on S. Washington in REOtown and has a for lease sign out front. I noticed a change in the flavor of the milk[ not for the better] and sure enough, I took a look to find the b…

If anyone reading this pays a lot of money to park downtown, I see people who work downtown park on the 900 blocks of S.Washington which seems to be a 24-hour no-limit free parking zone, from 1000 up to the south, there is a two-hour limit that is e…

Lake Trust has a couple of branches designed by Intrigue Studios that are different than most bank branches, I don't really like the designs but they are different. I was thinking that there was a plan for an apartment building that encluded the old…
