Yeah, the whole situation with kicking out the successful restaurant that had been there for years for this somewhat odd proposal is a bit of a head scratcher. I'd guess there's something going on behind the scenes, maybe or maybe not nefarious, tha…

I'm not really sure about this plan with the City Market building but I am glad they didn't sell it off yet. In my mind, if the Lansing Center stays where it is then the City Market site would be best suited to a hotel, hopefully a proper high-rise.…

@MichMatters I made it by there today and I'm surprised at what it looks like underneath there as well, I'll never understand why someone paid thousands of dollars to put ugly, relatively high-maintenance wood paneling over attractive and low mainte…

I don't know what to expect from them on the Washington side of the property. I still have a feeling it's one of the sites in play for the new performing arts center, along with the Atrium Building and probably a couple other options. I'm just glad …

I stopped by and grabbed a quick picture of the Lake Trust site with my phone. Work is well under way on the first floor columns.

I was also wondering if that was going to be parking, I'm not sure how parallel parking on that part of St Joe will work out the way people drive there though.

@Jared I went ahead and resized all the pictures, sorry I thought it would automatically resize on uploading. @gbdinlansing I believe that house shaped building is supposed to be a restaurant, I don't think they've said anything about exactly wha…

Pictures from around downtown (also more pics in that Flickr link): There's not much visible progress on the outside of the Lake Trust Building, just some trash shoots out of windows. They finished drilling the foundation for the new building a cou…

There was that mention of the local venture capital guy who wanted to build a high rise, I wouldn't be surprised to see him partnering with a developer. One of the downtown organizations' Facebook groups recently posted a picture of that abandoned b…

Fox 47 had a story today about less state workers and they interviewed Gentilozzi, he said they will have details of a new multi family development within a few weeks. They alluded to it involving the Atrium Building, he also owns the parking lot at…

@Lymon89 Agreed, I've been fulling stripping and reglazing all the windows in my house. I don't think the stained glass windows should even be that difficult to fix if you're not dealing with broken glass. I managed to regrout and repair some of the…

@gbdinlansing I have mixed feeling about the Clara's thing. Seeing the a chain place go in there and the place divided up isn't the most ideal use of the space imo. They also mentioned replacing windows, I hope they retain as many of the stained gla…

I think the fate of that pool at IM is up in the air, MSU had announced they were going to drop swimming sports after the 2020-2021 season but I'm not sure if they followed through with that or if it was supposed to be a permanent move. That being s…

I somehow missed this: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2021/02/04/michigan-state-football-basketball-mat-ishbia-donation-tom-izzo-mel-tucker-facilities/4390156001/ Here's a longer video presentation: Accordi…

I'll concede that the world economy can be described as capitalist and that China has never had a very free society, certainly not in recent history. They have learned how to prey on that world economy and exploit it to their benefit, by all means b…

Eating the meat or being exposed to blood & fluids would have nothing to do with the transmission of the a respiratory virus, living breathing things being in confined spaces is the risk for this type of virus. More often than not when a zoonoti…

Great to hear about those extra lanes there. Now if we could make 127 three lanes from 96 to Lake Lansing and do something better with the 496 interchange I'd be quite happy with our freeways.

I personally love to talk about politics and the like passionately and without grudges, certainly no apology needed for me. I considered myself a liberal throughout my youth but the seeming shift to the far left to the point of embracing socialis…

I agree that the aircraft themselves are always an impressive sight. But when it comes to covid rhetoric both sides seem to be full of grossly inaccurate views of reality but in opposite directions. I've kept up with science news for years, followin…

Yeah, as an independent who wears by beliefs on my sleeve (civil libertarian, pro-capitalist, foreign policy conservative admittedly sometimes bordering on neocon) who doesn't identify with any party (and loves discussing these things), I'm not seei…
