Yeah, both of the projects along Harrison are exciting and could really change the look of that whole area. A lot of potential change coming fairly quickly. I was also wondering where that child development lab could be, the agenda text doesn't g…

You make a very valid point lol. I have no idea what the thought process is on going through an RFP on a property like this vs offering on the open market or working more directly with a developer. I'd like to think it's not just a political/nepotis…

There are multiple items of note in the upcoming Board of Trustees meeting... https://trustees.msu.edu/meetings/documents/2024/BF1-Long-term lease - Child Development Laboratory.pdf -Authorizing a lease with the City of Lansing for ~15,000 sq ft…

The city is continuing to try to find new management for current LEPFA facilities. IDK what to make of this, I don't really visit any of the facilities but from a distance it seems that the ballpark is well maintained/managed, as is Groesbeck Golf C…

A small bit of potentially good news from the township board's July 16th minutes: they sent the Howard & Michigan back to planning committee because they dropped the storage and added housing, resulting in "increased density". They had a public …

As far as I know, yes it is still closed there. I haven't tried to go that way in over a month.

I was out on the trail today and wanted to snap a couple pictures of probably my favorite trailside scenery in the area, the Sycamore Park wetland area, while flowers were blooming as it looked quite nice despite the gloomy weather when I noticed a …

I think the Lansing Reddit is certainly out of touch. Facebook is more all-encompassing but I think people with more extreme views tend to share them more frequently, the audience for many individual pages/posts tends to be one sided. The proverbial…

@sabatoa Well said. I wish it were just a Reddit issue (there just seems to be a sort of Marxist political element over there) but the same attitude is present on Lansing-related Facebook posts and throughout the community in my anecdotal encounters…

We really should have some benefactors though. The RE Olds money was squandered. Larry Page is from EL and has done nothing (to my knowledge) for the area, Magic Johnson hasn't done much either. Multiple large insurance companies based here which ha…

Didn't catch the address thing. Weird. When you search 108 S Grand in Google Maps it comes up in that LSJ parking lot. My first thought was a mix up with the potential project on the Granger lot.
-
It's all been a long time coming. I'm (more than) a bit jealous of GR. Over the years I've reluctantly come to realize the lack of vision around here is a community-wide problem, not just city leadership like I wanted to believe. The lack of any maj…

Both Riverview 220 and Grand Vista Place showed up in the planning committee's agenda this week, the staff reports state that construction is imminent on both, December and January respectively. Neither had any site plans or renderings, not even a f…

I wondering if you forgot that or were talking about something else lol A friend who's a CATA employee said there were rumors of the CATA offices going in the LSJ building, not directly from anyone of authority though. I think @citykid mentioned …

What about the 425 S Grand Lot? Besides the new City Hall you mean?

UofM Sparrow ups the ante on their hostility towards this community: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/um-sparrow-ends-talks-with-group-that-wants-to-preserve-old-eastern-high-school,106432

Things have been slow in East Lansing development-wise but they're still moving forward with putting together an RFP process on the Evergreen properties. The LSJ has a story today with relatively little new information but it does confirm that the …

All the more disappointing that there's local developers actually willing to take the project on and they're being snubbed. And yeah, throughout my arguments with people on Reddit I was referring to Walter French, Holmes St and Cedar St schools a…

Yeah, there's been so many buildings restored/renovated that have been abandoned for years and decades; buildings with caved-in roofs, fire damage, important missing details, crumbling exteriors, etc... There's no way they can look at me with a stra…

Disappointing to hear about the Hillsdale project but it is what it is at this point I suppose. Sparrow/UofM are making silly statements about Eastern, justifying its destruction because of a lack of air conditioning along with out dated electric…
