  • "Whatever" is appropriate I think. The corner was going to be developed somehow, and when I frequented that area more I would have appreciated an alternative to Speedway.
  • You'll get no arguments from me against the Chinese tariffs as China has been fighting a soft/grey war against the US for decades, how directly related this move is to that is tough to say but it's hard to argue it's unrelated. I'm hoping Tesla eyes…
  • Big news: Tesla signed a deal with LG to switch their Lansing plant to a new battery tech which will supply Tesla through at least 2030, the deal is worth $4.3 billion and they expect production to start in just over a year. Sad for GM that it turne…
  • They showed their first proposal in a zoning board meeting back in November or December, I posted about it here a month or so afterwards, it was horrible. The back of the building faced Michigan and the drive-thru line ran right along Michigan Ave's…
  • Lansing Township's site is absolutely horrible, they do not want public input on this stuff. The fact that the empty Rite Aid was remodeled so quick and this old gas station property is getting a multi floor building is a great sign for the continue…
  • Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?
  • Yeah, lots in there. Tons of fluff to help grant applications (and justify those consulting fees). I just thumb to the maps that include the proposed trails and the tables that lay out priorities and timelines. I'll have to dig into it in the coming…
  • I feel the same way. IDK what to do about property taxes. The existence of the $180m police and fire millage while our parks are in disrepair, streets are poorly maintained, and the city refuses to spend any more than the free state money on city ha…
  • Yeah, it is disappointing. I would certainly be interested in hearing any insights as to what's in store.

  • Unless I'm misunderstanding something these new facilities are going to be at Sparrow's main campus, the mental/behavioral health operations will move from St Lawrence to here. What's not clear is where on their property this will be or if the facil…

  • I'm not aware of anything going on with Logan Square, seems like I heard something in recent years but it escapes me, maybe some issues between the city and the property owner? I often forget the place even exists, despite growing up nearby we rarel…
  • Here's a new City Pulse story on the LHC Washington Ave apartments: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/lansing-housing-commission-rehabbing-927-washington,181284 And here's a story on the new public media center in the little building next …
  • I always look at it as we're such a small forum with only a handful of active members I don't mind when things veer off-topic like this. If things get a little busier it's probably worth policing more, but for now I'd say self-policing should be fin…
  • Sparrow is set to move forward with their surgical center and a smaller than originally announced mental health facility, details are sparse: https://www.wlns.com/news/michigan/u-m-to-vote-on-new-behavioral-hospital-surgical-center-in-lansing-this-w…
  • The old dry cleaners property was bought by LHC, at the time of their meeting with my neighborhood organization last year they had no plans for the property yet.
  • The proposed data center here is way smaller than what's discussed in this video, but it brings up an issue I was not aware of and it is concerning: Mayor Schor shared this statement regarding the data center last week: https://www.facebook.com…
  • I kicked myself to get out in the nice weather and took a few pictures of some of the construction along Grand Ave, but first here are a few pictures of the new Fish Ladder Music Park: Looking south into the park The permanently installed …
  • My gripe about the terminal is purely opinion. I think it's embarrassing for the area. Traverse City's airport is fairly nice for the area's size, it looks like they do have at least four jetways btw. Traverse City's metro area is just over 150k,…
  • No plans that I'm aware of yet, it's being marketed as a multi-use redevelopment opportunity: https://cpix.net/listings/20721b04-1376-acre-redevelopment-opportunity-former-mclaren-penn-campus/
  • I saw that, I honestly consider it a bit of a bad sign for the future of the airport. It means that a new terminal isn't even being considered as a possibility and may even indicate that a major renovation of the existing terminal is nowhere in sigh…
