There was an article in today's LSJ about five new restaurants headed to downtown: Five restaurants headed to downtown Lansing This is just a midday update, so it doesn't have a whole lot of info. I'll post the new story tomorrow.

I can almost guarantee that the Saginaw St bridge is going to be rebuilt before too long. It's a very old, very busy bridge, making it a good candidate for reconstruction. I'm almost sure that when they do rebuild it it will be higher up, or at leas…

Jazz music isn't really my thing, so I probably won't go. Is there an admission fee or anything?

Here's a couple articles from todays LSJ: This one is on the proposed changes for the East Village project: East Village condo neighborhood in Lansing may be scaled back They are starting to put graffiti up on the Deluxe Inn: Artists convergin…

I've always viewed Lansing as under appreciated, and articles like this one shows that other people are noticing the area in a positive way. I initially read about the article in Mlive's Grand Rapids section, it was pretty funny to look at the co…

I haven't heard of Five Guys before, but it is always a great sign when a new national chain comes to town, especially one that seems selective as to where they locate. It shows that even people outside the area see opportunity here.

I agree with you 100% on East Village. It is a suburban styled development, but it's in the middle of the city. People that want to live in the city want to live in an urban environment, not a suburban one. I would have loved to see East Village be…

The one renewable source of power that may work here is geothermal and that could easily be the main source of power for the area. While not renewable, nuclear is a great power source, I'd like to see it utilized more often. On another note for BWL …

That entire stretch of Lake Lansing is a nightmare to drive down at some times. I really wish they'd do something to alleviate the traffic problems in the area.

The problem with renewable energy for BWL is that in this area isn't well suited for any type of renewable energy source, at least not for mass-production.

I like graffiti, and I know some cities have found places that are agreeable to almost everyone to allow it. But I can't really think of any good spots for that sorta thing in Lansing off the top of my head. I do really like the idea though. They…

Yeah, I was trying to tell what that was myself. It does look sorta like ivy or something in the renderings, I wonder what it will look like when finished.

I don't know much about natural gas vs coal, other than that it's supposed to be quite a bit cleaner. I too would like know whether this will affect the air quality in the area, especially at ground level. Ideally, I don't think you should be able t…

It's rumored that the production of the Corvette is what they plan on moving to Lansing. I hope that proves to be true.

I started a new thread for the BWL project. In other news the they are going to be inviting graffiti artists to tag the Deluxe Inn July 30th through August 1st and at sometime after that the fire department is going to use the building for traini…
