I agree, MichMatters. I appreciate the dedication and information provided by eastlansinginfo, but they tend to sensationalize development news. Everybody wants a scoop, and these stories spread quickly on social media. But, yes, there seem to be…

BTW- The proposed Costco site (Park Lake & Saginaw) is almost 2 miles closer to the downtown Radisson than the Flowerland site is (not that anyone staying at the Radisson will visit Costco- bit just gauging distance from downtown). Other than …

Costco is great. We have a membership for when we're passing through Grand Rapids. They hire a ton of employees and pay them a living wage, which will have its own impact on the area. You also tend to get people shopping there who support that bus…

That's the bike route I usually take home to Groesbeck from downtown. It's a nice ride. Hopefully it would be a boost for the neighborhood between the Shiawassee bridge and Eastern HS. I think this area is ready for some new energy now that LBC and …

The Knight Cap was a really good steakhouse with plenty of seafood options before the management change. I assume it still is. Edmund's is now Tavern and Tap, and they are basically upscale sports bar type food. I guess that might be selling it sho…

Yes, please! With Red Cedar, the somewhat bustling Eastside Neighborhood, and the newer infill toward MSU, there are going to be a lot of people and some pretty big buildings along Michigan. Now, East Lansing, please figure out the debacle at the …

Texigander, the design is definitely controversial. I get that. But, how will the people of Lansing be paying for it in the future? Are you referring to tax breaks? Repairs? Unsightly architecture? Honestly, I think this development will benefit …

It was fun tonight. I'm glad I got to hear your ideas. Definitely some smart people on this forum.

Yes, I will be there.

I'll be there.

I'll go if it's after 530. Maybe Nuthouse?

Ideally, we'd see something like this: http://www.unionsquaregr.com/ I think that is a few years away, though (and may require the high speed bus system and some prior investment in the neighborhood directly to the west of Eastern). I don't kno…

I have heard from very good sources that Sparrow wants the Eastern HS property (maybe plans for it...) I think it is very likely that it will happen, and it would mean a lot of money for LSD (perhaps an unfortunate choice of words there). I'm torn…

The containers are for the renovations to the interior of Meijer. I've been out of town for a while, but when I left (2 weeks ago), they were remodeling the entire store. I'll check it out after work tomorrow and see if it's anything beyond ren…

I think the city has actually been planning this project on an appropriate scale. The plans we've seen are the most ambitious in the metro area in my memory. However, they appear unable to deliver. I think potential tenants are reluctant to sign on…

The preliminary proposal is out: http://www.mlive.com/business/jackson-lansing/index.ssf/2013/12/dtn_unveils_preliminary_plans.html#incart_river_default Sounds like there are a lot of hurdles (it includes the GR Ave property and Dublin Square). …

And, I agree about the near West side. I live on the east side, though, so I selfishly want it on the red cedar property. Haha. I don't think red cedar is even close to being ready environmentally, though. Also, the WILX article about Whole Foo…

Yeah. It's arguable whether WF counts as East Lansing development, but it will have an EL address. It will also attract more development. I noticed a big condo development was announced (behind the MAC in Meridian Township) right on the heels of …

According to their Facebook page, Whole Foods is coming to East Lansing "in 2014 or later." Actually, 2015. Just found an article: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20130801/NEWS01/308010031/Whole-Foods-coming-Meridian-Township I believ…

I agree on all points, Jared. Hopefully, the drive through will be incorporated into the enclosed parking and will share an exit with the parking. I have no idea what I'm looking at when I see that rendering. It's a cool idea, but the rendering…
