I wonder what he means by saying the Association building is "moving along?" I wonder if that means it is actually becoming more definitive or it is simply taking baby steps. I couldn't even imagine what the big announcement may be, but I'm still ve…

I think if floors were to be added to city market it would be better off demolished and rebuilt in a better locaion with a better design. In it's current condition the City Market is no good, in order to draw new customers it needs new and better bu…

The brick on the Michigan Resturaunt association building ended up looking great! It looks like that really old worn brick like you find on a few of the Old Town buildings, somewhat similar to the building next to the fish ladder but a bit darker. T…

I like your idea for link page, whether or not it is seperated out by cities or neighborhoods (although that would add that much more to it.) I think the site is pretty good for now though, all the key things are covered.

Making it look cleaner would be huge. Putting in new windows (mini versions of whats on the MW lofts), painting the interior, putting brighter, "whiter" lighting in and new doors/entrances. Also, covering the the outdoor areas between the wings of t…

It's definately worth a try, I think you should start of with a small "pilot program." When you get it going try to at least get some coverage in the City Pulse, if not the LSJ or local news. I think it may work, but starting off small will minimize…

Looks like we will hear more on the DDA development tomorrow: Lansing to offer tax incentive to Michigan Dental Association

I would assume they will follow throught with the origional design. Probaby fill in the area between floors 8 and 9 then remake that pattern between floors 10 and 11. Then I would assume they will make the sloped part look better.

I didn't watch it, but I had heard from my dad the the State was in talks with the Boji's to build additional floors. That probably was a misunderstanding, so having this come from two sources lends to it's credibility. We'll just have to wait and s…

Olds Park was huge for that area. Before if was by far the worst in the city, know as the sin strip. It had extremely high crime, far higher than what is in any neighborhood currently in Lansing. The Stadium District, Abrams Landing and any other fu…

I found this from Cool Cities: Lansing- Economic Development Corporation of Lansing, Gillespie Development – Stadium District: -The Catalyst project is privately developed Pat Gillespie building called the Stadium District building. This is a …

It took me awhile to get around to it, but I finally outlined the areas completed at the beaumont on the siteplan. The red outlines buildings that are completed, the green the one that is under construction and the yellow outlines the entire site ar…

I seen both buildings today. I really think that the Capitol Phramacy building is going to be nice, getting those new windows in is really going to help the look of that building. But I'm really suprised with that Frisbees pizza building, I thought …

Yeah, the concrete residential buildings where the walls and floors are cement offer excellent oundproofing between units, although the floor-to-floor sound insulation is the same for concrete and steel. One thing I still don't get is how it is that…

I think that the name "northtown" really hurt Old Town, it associated with the "Northside." People from out of town never looked to favorably at the northside. The "Stadium DIstrict," gives identity to an area that could be referred to as either Dow…

I hope to see all those places moved off of Museum Dr some day and that area redeveloped into some mid rise apartments or condos. I think getting the museums into higher quality/higher visiblity buildings could greatly help the city and so could the…

Thats one thing I never really thought about, sometimes just giving an area an identity can help spur development. For a closer example look at the Heartside District in GR.

The reason I care so much is largely because it makes for a much impressive building in the construction stage when it is concrete or steel. However for tenants in the building a concrete or steel structure is extremely important for sound, and to a…

It's nice to hear this will be a steel structure, I think that adds a lot to a building, especially when there will be condos in it.

Do they have any specifics of what they are considering for the Stadium Project grant.
