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…

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
