  • It's great to see the developer behind this, it looks like they've done a few good quality projects. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't indicate any sort of time frame for the project but I guess that's not too surprising at this point. I'm …
  • I was wondering if they had a Breslin construction cam, they don't even link to it on their site. I added it to the Breslin thread for future reference. One thing that I hadn't really thought about before was that as large as 1855 Place seems, at…
  • A construction cam for this project: Breslin Webcam
  • I didn't know that was the Historical Society there, any idea what types of displays they have or what they do as an organisation?
  • Thanks for that, I was wondering if this had a webcam somewhere.
  • Major developments in store for Hope Soccer Complex: $17M vision for Hope Sports Complex includes hotel, domed field
  • @gomsu It'd really be nice to see a local history museum someday. One option might be to have CADL incorporate a small local history museum into a new downtown library if they go for their millage again. If not that then perhaps something run by a n…
  • I found an aerial showing the area near Ottawa. I could maybe see it being the building at the end of Ottawa in the first image, with the smokestack behind it.
  • It's definitely not the old LSJ building, besides that I'm not of much help identifying it.
  • Those are some pretty nice signs. I'd always wanted to know more about what the Lansing area plants were building during the war, do you have any idea? I just wanted to add another good Lansing history book to pick up: Out of a wilderness: An ill…
  • No surprise here: Clara's Lansing Station will be sold to Gillespie Group
  • @Rads Thanks for the photos, they'll always be appreciated here. I don't know if I ever talked about them here, but I wanted to share a few books I continually go back to for Lansing history stuff, lots of photos with good info in paragraph long …
  • Regarding the visitors center funding, the Michigan strategic fund is involved in taking out the bonds but they will be paid for through the tobacco tax funded Capitol facilities budget. I'd think that fact bodes well for the future of this project.…
  • @Rads Are you going through photos owned by someone who's picky about making them public? I know that myself and others would be interested in any photos that you're willing and/or able to share. I would personally love to see photos of the older in…
  • The master plan shows the University Village/Cherry Lane along with the current Spartan Village property as being mixed use and are amongst the properties expected to be developed by 2031 (stated as being "Building Opportunities-20 year horizon" as …
  • It was my understanding at the time that the new visitors center would be financed by taking out bonds which would be paid back through the Capitol's new maintenance budget. I'm just speculating, but I'd guess the reason the project was postponed wa…
  • Purely out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?
  • Just to concur, the building in question is the rear of the Strand/Michigan Theater, no doubt about that.
  • @Rads I don't clearly recognize anything in that photo, but after some comparing I'm pretty sure the building in question is the back of the old Michigan/Strand Theater. I believe the Davenport building is in the far upper left of your photo, peekin…
  • This is big news, there's just not enough info now to do much more than ask questions at this point. From the sound of the article the new hospital would be in the tech park itself since it said that it would be on "property owned by MSU that is tec…
