  • I hear a lot about "visions," but we haven't seen any siteplans, or specifics on this project. It sounds like this thing may take while to go anywhere.
  • I haven't eaten there, but I did briefly talk with the owner, he was just walking around promoting about 2 weeks ago.

  • The rivertrail is definately worth checking out more. It's a great walk not matter which part of it your talking about, but the leg that travels east from downtown, by Potter Park and to MSU is the nicest, you should check it out if you get a chance.
  • Here's a very interesting story about Broadway shows coming to East Lansing: Broadway's Love Affair with East Lansing I had always just assumed that shows like the Lion King were normal to have in a city the sized of Lansing, I figured that Detro…
  • Just FYI, there is a crane onsite now.
  • I found their website: Franklin Street Community Housing Corporation Theres hardly anything on it, so it's no much help.
  • I too have always wondered why they keep power lines, or any other wires, hanging from telephone poles. I know that eventually all lines will be buried, but when, in 100 years? This is something that should be done along with CSO work if you ask me.
  • I really like those houses, I can't wait to see the overall plans for this project.
  • This is a before/after view of Lansing in SketchUp. I was just bored so I thought that I would post it, its more interesting to flip between the photos in a slideshow:
  • This building is going to look sweet when it's done, I'll have to check it out in person sometime.
  • I don't know exactly, the MSP is just there because they had to get out of their old space and the new HQ won't be done until next year. The only reason I know is because my dad was in there wiring for MSP and he asked one of Boji's people about the…
  • They lease temporary space on the 3rd & 4th floors, maybe the 2nd also. The security concern thing is something of a joke, but MSP has the ball in their court.
  • The plan for lofts has been scrapped, at least temporarily. The MSP supposedly complained about the plan for lofts citing security concerns. Theres no word on the 5th & 6th floors being leased for anything else, so I would guess the lofts are st…
  • I noticed you took a lot of pictures. Be sure to keep posting them, I always like to see new/different pictures!
  • Did you get a chance to stop and look at those posters on the fence? I've been meaning to check them out, I assume they have something to do with th rivertrail or something.
  • I didn't know they were owned by the same person, I wonder if there is more to the story?

  • They are still working on it, I drive by there everyday. There has been very little progress, but there have been people onsite doing things. The only thing I can figure is their letting the footings set, but I'm guessing we should see some good pro…
  • I was thinking the same thing, although even if it closes in 2025 it will be awhile before anything gets tore down, if ever.

  • Welcome thecommish! I never really went t, or even noticed that store but I've been hearing people talk about it closing. It sucks that it closed but the little bookstores can't make it anymore, even the community newscenter in Frandor is closing.

  • I really hope that they move into Lansing somewhere, or that they at least build a significant building. This sounds like a great thing, but I guess I'll hold judgement until more info is released.
