I guess I'll have to check it out in person, a mosaic of a basketball player made of shoelaces is certainly an interesting idea. I see their rates as of now are just over $100 and that really isn't too bad, I imagine it'll be quite a bit more expens…

Overall the building looks really good. The mosaic behind the check-in desk of Draymond Green (I think?) is a little bit weird looking though.
-
Yeah, it's easy to forget how big of a step in the right direction that building was. I do kinda wish he would have went with the original design in a way, it would have been a lot more unique.

They started on what I assume is the new Techsmith building in the last few weeks. It looks like they're digging the foundation up fairly close to Harrison, which is a promising sign imo.

@JazperG A guy on YouTube named John McGraw has done some drone videos over Lansing and East Lansing, I think these are his two most recent:

I really don't what to expect in that 7 block area, or even what I'd want there if given a choice. One thing I would still really like to see is Washtenaw restored as a public street, I hope to see it continued through the State Library's parking lo…

They're kind of light on details right now but it will be good to see Otto in use again: Advancement Corporation partners with Metro Lansing Poor People’s campaign to create community center

I just hate to see streets vacated unless it's for a very, very good reason (maybe for a new convention center or something like that), I don't see any possible way that this project will constitute a very good reason. I generally want to see street…

I'm really not thrilled about Sparrow convincing the city to let them vacate more streets. I wish the city wouldn't allow it, Sparrow can easily work around the street being there.

@gbdinlansing Yeah, there's another building that's part of the City Center project yet to go up on Evergreen. I'd forgotten about that project, I don't remember how long they have to complete it per their agreement with the city.

The Emergent thing is definitely something I'll be looking out for, every inch that can be gained in attracting and expanding these high-paying fields is important for the area. I guess the recycling thing is a done deal now so all there is to do…
-
It's very good to hear that Emergent will be making a fairly significant addition to their facilities in Lansing, I wonder if this plan is even remotely near happening? I'm assuming the document that came from gave no further details?
-
I've often thought about covering 496. It certainly wouldn't be cheap, but given that the freeway is already sunken and could simply be covered either with buildings and/or a continuous dirt covered bridge-like structure, I don't think that it's too…

I think there's just been a lack of education about how traffic circles work, there's really only one rule: yield to traffic in the circle. Once you get used to them they're great.
-
I also think it feels pretty bare over there now coming around the bend, at least that was my first impression. I'll have to make it over there again. I'm having a hard time picturing why it was necessary.
-
@MichMatters Looks like the city is just getting overzealous with the tree cutting again, it's disappointing to see. Never the less the roads in this area really needed some attention and the roundabout should be nice, so I'll try to look at the pos…
-
Regarding the Sears building, I really hope they don't attempt to reuse it in any way. It's horribly outdated with low ceilings too many pillars, nothing significant in its design and a single floor building is really an underuse of that land. IMO i…
-
Yeah, I noticed they had pretty much all the trees along the road cleared. I'm assuming this is for good reason and they're going to be making some significant changes to the roads there. @cliffordzang I missed that they're putting in a roundabou…
-
That certainly explains a lot. There's enough nice old buildings over there to give that strip a pretty good chance at success and there's plenty of interesting old houses throughout that neighborhood that will help the cause.
-
I really didn't expect to see a proposal like that at the St Lawrence Campus but that is a very good sign that they're at least considering it. I really hope to see the historic part of the hospital restored and reused someday, I think it would make…
