  • http://npaper-wehaa.com/citypulse;see-zxY990BzmmV9e0x0#page-1;c-66464 New website for City Pulse which is interesting, but the link should still work. Supposed to see "dirt moving by the end of the year." 24 more condos than predicted (intersting s…
  • Yesterday I noticed a ~7 foot tall scaffolding is set-up on the sidewalk on Capitol running in front of the Boji Tower the entire length of the building and wrapping around the corner a little onto Allegan. No signs or anything...looks like the same…
  • Unless they want to put a 30 story building in downtown Lansing! Seriously though, I'll add to the chorus that MSU should slow the sprawl for a while and focus on concentrating their campus as it is.
  • Didn't they originally say they were planning on 12 floors and then there was an article saying that because it was going so well they were jumping to 18 floors? Was that just BS trying to stir excitement, have things changed that drastically, or so…
  • http://capitalgainsmedia.com/devnews/msulife0233.aspx $7 million gift for nursing school expansion. Good to see MSU grow and building new things in general, but especially good to be building in a field like nursing that capitalizes on a strong d…
  • I like that alot better!!! I heard (just gossip, nothing credible) that they have to sell 50% of the units before they can break ground...does that sound right?
  • Does anyone on here have Magic Johnson's e-mail? You should see if he's interested. I heard that he tried an idea for the Ottawa Street power station a few years back...maybe he would throw out some money for the "Magic Johnson Performing Arts Cente…
  • Come fall of 2010, imagine what Lansing is going to look like. I may be a little off, but if I remember correctly, MarketPlace, Capitol Club Tower, the Lenewee building and possibly AF headquarters and BallPark North with be done or far along in con…
  • Unanimously huh?...alright, I can be man enough to admit I was naively suckered into the histeria and as a result added to it. Touché LMich, I was wrong to think this was as dire as I thought. (but I have to admit I had some fun in this debate alo…

  • That should be interesting either way the vote goes. Unfortunately I won't be able to go tonight to see the fun in person. It's certainly been a wild ride so far.

  • By exterior walls I simply meant that it isn't the concrete for the interior walls.
  • A couple quick updates of things I've noticed: -A small (1 story) office building on Capitol (I think ~600 S. Capitol) has a development sign with Kincaid on it and pictures showing what I thought looked like a significant rennovation/update of the…
  • There is an area kinda like that in East Lansing by the Peanut Barrel area...it has a sculpture, a fountain, etc. and it doesn't take up alot of space...something like that could fit into an area on Mich. Ave.
  • St. Louis has a population of 353,000 and has a light rail system (metrolink). Metrolink's daily ridership is 67,684 for FY2007. It was built in 93, so not terribly long ago, and the initial phase cost $465 million. Of that amount, $348 million was …
  • That would be awesome! Seriously, what do the more knowledgable people on hear think about the viability of a light rail line replacing route 1? From strictly a standpoint of sustainable numbers, where the track would be, etc. There certainly are al…
  • http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080811/NEWS01/808110370&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL This sounds nice, I wonder how likely anything will really happen in the near future that would be noticeable, but it's good to h…
  • You think someone from LSJ has been watching our discussion lately? I believe it was LMich who used the "Chicken little" analogy earlier and here it is in this article: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080810/NEWS01/8…

  • I'm starting to think that maybe City Council is just dragging this out a little longer and saying it's to ask questions, as a way to appease those who are vehemently opposed. So they can eventually pass it and say that they didn't just rush to some…

  • Anyone have any idea what's going on at the Cooley building? (The one with the facade that has the greek columns-on Capitol Ave.) There's been cranes there for a while and I haven't mentioned anything on here before cause it just looked like they we…
  • It's easy to discredit other people's opinions by saying they don't care about the other residents, or they're part of an orchestrated event to whip up histeria, or they work for the developer, and maybe I have been a little naive to buy into how th…
