I'll say that I realized the risk in putting my personal story out there. But I did so because I wanted people to see that the work that's already been done to attract young professionals is in fact working. Often, I think people think that when the…

Did you see the results somewhere? I don't see them on LSJ...last number I saw was with only 8of110 precincts it was ~59% no. What did it end up being?
-
It was a hard call, but the job here, plus some small perks here taken together made the decision. But I have to admit that when visiting my friend, who works on Wacker Drive (a block or two from Sears Tower and his office can be seen in Batman Begi…

I'm not going to hide my reasons for living here (good job and good potential for growth) and I don't think it changes anything. My interest in Lansing is to see it develop into a great urban community, good mass transit, walkability, good skyline …

I respect both LMich and TEXigander's feeling about being over dramatic (although I am slightly offended to be accused of working for Gillespie since I've been on this forum for a while, am not a troll, and post on lots almost all of the topics). …

There was a blurb in the LSJ print edition today on the Daily Bagle facade work but I don't see it on the website. It's short enought I'll type it here (there was a nice color pic in the paper 6D): "New view: Work crews Monday were expected to warp…

Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing apparently and something weird happened when I posted the link. But if you copy/paste the top portion of the link it still takes you to the site and then you can just type "Lansing MI" in and get there.
-
Some of my friends in GR showed me this and it's similar to Googles...maybe there's a way in google to change it, but Microsoft's has different angles. The link is kinda weird, but it should get you there. http://maps.live.com

I'm not a fan of townships/burbs, but at least the current place is a decent size, looks nice, and adds something to the view on 496.
-
Yeah, I'll second that one. I can't imagine anything going into there current place based on its size. Unless a developer could modify it so you could put multiple companies in it. And it looks too nice to raze, so will it just sit vacant? Does anyo…

"I'm getting a bad feeling that there are some employees of the developer, here, trying to gin up support (support that is already there, anyway) with fear-mongering." I'm guessing that's at least in part directed at me. I'll come right out and say…

I just returned from the city council meeting. There were more supporters than opponents and frankly, a couple of the opponents shouted things about destroying a superfund site and ruining our water and how ruining the water was causing abortions an…

I'm also not sure how plausible it is that this won't go through given the City Council hasn't voted against a development once for a couple years. And it sounded like people thought the Planning Commission wouldn't pass it and they did unanimously,…
-
So it sounds like the new City Market development's fate is teetering and possibly leaning towards not happening. Also, Gillespie is suggesting if this doesn't go through he will rethink his focus on developing downtown, which might be an empty thre…

RE: Medical Office Building in Old Town When driving from east to west on Grand River you can see the back and north side of this building and that it is completely gutted and a couple large openings in the walls. There's also light construction eq…

The facade work on The Daily Bagle is well under way-scaffolding and palates of bricks all set-up and a good portion of the facade torn away. The old Comp USA in Frandor has a solid awning and there is scaffolding set-up on top of the awning. Base…

The Lansing Planning Board unanimously (6-0) voted in support of selling the City Market to Gillespie. Hopefully the City Council will vote for it as well. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080723/NEWS01/807230348

The sign for the project I mentioned I think is the same one you're talking about and is standing in the ground . The other signs are simply ones advertising for space to lease.
-
There is now a sign posted with a picture of the proposed building and large signs for Leasing space on the top of the YMCA building currently there.

That would be awesome. I really hope they get working on this soon (and that maybe they add 2 floors and make it 20!) Right now I have to go over to Kroger's in Frandor for groceries. Capitol Pharmacy closes at 5pm and even if they were open they do…
