  • I think there are far too many art museums that look like #1 and #4, # 3 looks ugly but I really can't tell much from the picture, I personally don't like #2 at all, it looks like a biosphere. #5 is different looking and is imposing on its surroundi…
  • There is no formal plans, but Bernero has hinted at the possibility of something like light rail along Michigan. I just wish he would make a real push for it, once the process is started it could easily take ten years before construction begins, dep…
  • Now if only we could get light rail...
  • I like the last one best also, but the first one is alright too.
  • I think it will be cool to see something significant get developed on the North side of Ottawa, I hope thats were the office space will go, its also where it would make the most sense.
  • Like a lot of the cities "green" efforts this is symobolic. If the city continues to go Green, we may just get some recognition on a national level. I'm not sure how common efforts like using electric cars and Bio-fuels are with other city governmen…
  • I'm still thinking that this whole Eastwood sewer situation is going to be a catlyst for some significant change in the Lansing-Lansing Township Relationship, possibly leading to the annexation of the Township in the not to distant future.
  • Just FYI, I was reading the a story about Harry Hepler and his MotorWheel Lofts in the Greater Lansing Business Monthly and it said that "In the future Hepler is partnering in the rennovation of the former YMCA building, currently vacant." It doesen…
  • I think that one was Gilespie's. I actually don't like it that much, it is exactly the same design as the rowhouses in the Beaumont.
  • I think they have several floors in that building now. I was really hoping to see them continue to expand downtown, there is in fact more space available in Capitol Hall. I'm glad to see the technology learning center is going to happen though, and …
  • I use IE7 and I have always had the problem.
  • I get the feeling this will drag on for quite awhile. And I wouldn't be suprised to see this conflict act as a catalyst for some positive change, if not leading to the eventual annexation of Lansing Twp. Or at least some sort of tax sharing agreemen…
  • Welcome to the forum, and since I rarely go out to MSU or EL it will be helpful to have another person keeping an eye on the developments out there. And of course its nice to have another persons opinion on things.
  • I want to know when they are going to start on the main building here, thats the most important part of this development.

  • I know exactly what your talking about Lmich. I guess I just got used to it, so I didn't bother to say anything.
  • I'm glad to see this, and anxious to see the proposals.
  • And these buildings were among the worst in the city before, I remember the second building, it was open to the outside and in horrible shape not that long ago.
  • The only thing about the space behind the Stadium District is that they have to leave a reasonable amount of space so that people arent looking directly out at a parking garage or into someone elses window. But the city definately needs to build a s…
  • I haven't been by it in awhile. I really do have to go and do another phototour, both of downtown and the northern tier. I've really been slacking, if I can motivate myself I'll get out tomorrow or Sunday.
  • Welcome to the site! I think many people shared your sentimate regarding Washington Sq, I'm still suprised it has taken this long for it to be reopened.
