  • I agree on the Downtown Doghouse. It would be really nice to see Allegan go two-way, it may allow for more businesses to open up on that street. The only thing that may have a chance in that location as-is would be a bar or club of enough significan…
  • I thought that I even heard that the owner of Tavern on the Sq planned to open up a new bar in its old location after it moves. Also, I had seen an application for a liquor license with dance permit for 408 S Washington a couple months ago. That wou…
  • I was by there, and it is looking better than it was, still not the best though. I think the most important thing to look at here is that a bar/club operator from outside the area chose to invest in downtown Lansing, that says something about the st…
  • I'm really liking the choice of architecture that MSU has in designing their new buildings. Did anyone ever find renderings of the Plant Science addition?
  • I'll have to make it a point to drive by there later. the way it was looking was pretty disappointing the way it was, any improvements would be welcome.
  • These are some great pictures. Glad to see them.
  • Looks like they finally started tearing down the Governor's Inn: Vacant Lansing hotel razed to make way for Sonic
  • I also noticed that. I was wondering if they meant to include the new name in the article or if they didn't intend to mention it getting a new name. I don't have a clue what they would rename it.
  • Hopefully Gillespie follows through with the plans to begin construction on Market Place by the end of the year. I guess if we see them paving over the site for a parking lot we have something to be worried about.

  • It looks like it. It also looks like there may be some interesting exterior lighting.
  • An article on the PSD in todays LSJ: Principle Shopping District gains momentum, support
  • I think this is a good idea. It would be nice to see the old armory saved and reused.
  • Cheesecake Factory isn't a restaurant or bar, is it?
  • I'm especially glad to hear of a potential restaurant tenant. I can't wait to hear more on that.
  • I agree with all your points except the one about the stadium, I look at Olds Park as the one thing we've done right, I don't think it could be any better given our city's size. The Lansing Center is an embarrassment, and a simple expansion won't ch…

  • I understand that philanthropists are responsible for most of Grand Rapids' success. That doesn't make Lansing any better though, I just find it very disappointing that none of Lansing's wealthier residents (past or present) have done anything to he…

  • I know, seeing projects like that in a city as similar as Grand Rapids makes me want to give up on Lansing. We really need to get our act together if we're ever going to be competitive.

  • Shopping and Skating The city is applying for a grant to build a year-round outdoor skating rink near the City Market. This would be another great addition to that area.

  • The LSJ article on the groundbreaking: MSU breaks ground on Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum
  • Looking closer at the birds eye view, I'm pretty sure the lake is the bottom of a large shallow gravel pit. the edges of the lake look steep and rough. The hospice is near there and I remember that being inside the pit also. The Sonic is supposed…
