It's definitely not the old LSJ building, besides that I'm not of much help identifying it.

Those are some pretty nice signs. I'd always wanted to know more about what the Lansing area plants were building during the war, do you have any idea? I just wanted to add another good Lansing history book to pick up: Out of a wilderness: An ill…

No surprise here: Clara's Lansing Station will be sold to Gillespie Group

@Rads Thanks for the photos, they'll always be appreciated here. I don't know if I ever talked about them here, but I wanted to share a few books I continually go back to for Lansing history stuff, lots of photos with good info in paragraph long …

Regarding the visitors center funding, the Michigan strategic fund is involved in taking out the bonds but they will be paid for through the tobacco tax funded Capitol facilities budget. I'd think that fact bodes well for the future of this project.…

@Rads Are you going through photos owned by someone who's picky about making them public? I know that myself and others would be interested in any photos that you're willing and/or able to share. I would personally love to see photos of the older in…

The master plan shows the University Village/Cherry Lane along with the current Spartan Village property as being mixed use and are amongst the properties expected to be developed by 2031 (stated as being "Building Opportunities-20 year horizon" as …

It was my understanding at the time that the new visitors center would be financed by taking out bonds which would be paid back through the Capitol's new maintenance budget. I'm just speculating, but I'd guess the reason the project was postponed wa…

Purely out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?

Just to concur, the building in question is the rear of the Strand/Michigan Theater, no doubt about that.
-
@Rads I don't clearly recognize anything in that photo, but after some comparing I'm pretty sure the building in question is the back of the old Michigan/Strand Theater. I believe the Davenport building is in the far upper left of your photo, peekin…

This is big news, there's just not enough info now to do much more than ask questions at this point. From the sound of the article the new hospital would be in the tech park itself since it said that it would be on "property owned by MSU that is tec…

I'd love to see them both turned back into two way roads, but they still have to be able to handle the traffic since Cedar/Larch/N East is the busiest and only continuous north south street through the city. It looks like it would be difficult to…

@gbinlansing Those lots are being repaved separately from the solar project and I think you're right about them being permeable (I can't find it now but I think they mentioned the lots being permeable in one of their construction updates).
-
If it's true that they're closing because someone bought the property then I'd bet that there's something already in the works. It could be pretty cool as a bed and breakfast, it would require building a new annex for guestrooms but there's plenty o…

If your talking about the corner where the old Mobil gas station was that's a Pat Gillespie project and the rendering he showed off a couple years ago was three floors with no indication of retail, thankfully it prominently states "conceptual only" …

I have no doubt that the station will be saved, it's an interesting building that appears to be in good shape in a great location. My hope is that it's reoccupied very quickly and that it can continue to be used as a restaurant or something equally …

Unfortunately the news about Clara's looks to be true: Clara's restaurant in downtown Lansing to close Clara's has always been a restaurant with a great building and atmosphere but mediocre service and food in my opinion, I haven't been there in …

The LSJ ran a story on the proposed casino today, nothing much of note except that the tribe's lawyer is quoted as saying the Department of Interior's decision on the land being taken into trust will be handed down within the next few weeks. Whichev…

@mindbender I can't imagine they'd intentionally cause an outage but I do find it distasteful that they took the opportunity of the news coverage to promote building a new substation at the Scott Park site: Old substation to blame for power outage, …
