Baron's really was an odd duck there. I was surprised they didn't sell those buildings for renovation during the pre-2008 recession mini boom that Lansing enjoyed, and am surprised at how those storefronts sit today. Just a little sign as to how …

I will take this opportunity to once again agree on the stupidity of the Michigan Ave bike lane situation. If just inconvenient and pointless that'd be annoying, but this set-up is truly dangerous and sets the stage for bad bike-car interactions at …

I filled it out. Anything to encourage more community-university-student engagement.

From the upcoming MSU Board of Trustees meeting: - Authorization to proceed on the $340m Engineering and Digital Innovation Center: This is a big project, bigger than the Student Wellness Center in size and budget, it'll be nice to see it get goi…

Another letter from the mayor in next weeks council agenda introducing an OPRA on a small mixed use building, this time for the former Barron's Window Coverings at 323-327 S Washington Sq. A company called Wormwood is proposing ground floor retail w…

City of Lansing has draft 2026-2030 Parks Master Plan out for review: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/7561d46b-8bdd-4928-a815-e99aa3e74046?cache=1800 After reading it, I'm not sure what's going on. The cover letter says 2026-2030 then s…

Yeah, it really can't be stated enough how great getting Oakland and Saginaw to smaller two-way streets would be for the surrounding neighborhoods. Hopefully if enough people get to talking about it we can at least get some studies as to what option…

I've watched a decent number of the Barn Find Hunters and missed that one, thanks for that. I have no idea about how real moving his collection to the LSJ building is, the person who said that was a Lansing Housing Commission affiliate who just m…

Not a super eventful council meeting this week but there were two Letters from the Mayor introducing a couple of OPRA projects, both small commercial/mixed use storefronts. 1204 S Washington is a a commercial storefront in REO Town that is slated…

It's going to be different out that way, the repaved road is sort of the cherry on top. I personally am excited to see what's in store for the 2027/'28 127 rebuild through Frandor. I'm hoping for two lanes from 496 east to 127 north, along with bett…

It is great to see the corridor filling in, I don't hate the City Hall location, just the building and site layout. Just fyi on the LSJ building, I believe Gentilozzi bought it and there was a rumor from someone at a neighborhood meeting that his in…

Agreed, sucks to lose the involvement of one of the old timers here. We need more engagement, not less. I will say that leaving without saying anything and deleting one's account in a way that removes comments and threads is not terribly respectful …

Good to hear that some progress is being made on the house over by Cooley Gardens, I pass by frequently but never pay much attention. I saw the porch get rebuilt then work seemed to stall. I forget who ended up buying it. That sound barrier reall…

The problem is entirely political. I cannot stress how important simply being willing to discuss concerns openly and honestly is. Just speaking up is enough to change the atmosphere, and eventually effect meaningful change.

I don't know what the answers are but if I had faith in our authorities enforcing rules for loitering, public drinking, littering, or even reliably keeping violent repeat offenders locked up... I'd feel a lot more comfortable with experimental effor…

...So apparently the plan is now for a larger ramp that will extend to the corner, this will also serve as parking for the Prudden Apartments as efforts to tear down the InstyPrints building for a new ramp have been scrapped. That building will now …

Regarding the homeless issue, I see it as being largely a problem with people who refuse help that's offered and refuse to play by the rules that rest of us do. I'm not for outright forcing people to get help, I am for making it hard on them when th…

Well that settles that then. Now the question is will it be surface parking or not? I can't imagine the city being too amenable to a surface lot on that corner. Maybe an expanded/reoriented parking ramp to serve the tower?

I largely agree with your letter, nice to see it get published somewhere. And you're welcome to keep beating that horse as far as I'm concerned. I live downtown, use the trail multiple times per week (weather-permitting) and am a board member for FL…

I did read about the Sheetz, I know there's some big fans of the chain but I've never been to one. I do welcome Speedway competitors. More good news for EL: it appears the DDA's Evergreen property has sold. It doesn't look like there's a specific…
