Also, the Ignite Lansing event last night in the Knapp's building appears to have been a success. My wife went and said ~600 people were there and I went by it and it was just cool to see the place bustling.

The old Comp USA spot in Frandor is definitely moving forward for something. The front looks brand new, all new doors and windows, the interior had been torn down to the metal support beams and now has all new walls and some are painted unique color…

I was downtown today and noticed State of Michigan moving trucks parked on Allegan nex to the Hollister building and people moving large shelves with file folders in them. You think it's safe to assume this is the State Police workers are moving out…

An event, IgnightLansing 3.0 is being held at the Knapp's building downtown in March. They held this last year at the Temple Club. Maybe that's what some of the activity has been there recently? Not sure, March still seems far enough off they wouldn…

MM and Hood, For the sake of those of us who aren't as knowledgable, could this new development (assuming it comes to fruition) be in anyway seen as a success for the Michigan Ave. corridor improvement movement? Or is this development a result of o…

I didn't think much of it at the time, but in the State of the City address, when Bernero talked about this, he introduced Pat Lindemann saying something about we'll be working with our creative drain commissioner on this. It makes sense now...thank…

Didn't expect this, but Strathmore has paid up it's taxes on the development and is now moving forward on it. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20100126/NEWS01/301260006

Tonight in the State of the City address Mayor Bernero talked about and showed renderings of a "destination park" created from the Red Cedar Golf course. Hopefully we can see more soon.

Just returned from the new market with fresh fruit and vegetables. I think the new layout is a win, much better market feel with everyone in the same large open area. The painted walls (unique colors) are also a small nicety. Once all the vendors ar…

When I said the awning/entrance was covered, I didn't mean the doors/windows were 2-dimensionally covered. I meant they've built a cube with plywood covering the awning completely so that there is only about one foot of space left of the sidewalk...…

Do you guys think it would inappropriate to put an entry about this museum on Lansing wikipedia page? I am 50/50 on this...it's not in Lansing proper so half of me says no, it doesn't belong on there. But E. Lansing/MSU and Lansing are so connected …

Yeah, I noticed the colors and they were nice. Other priminent buildings would be cool too. The former Comp USA store in Frandor had the awning/entrance completely covered up by plywood and I peaked and the interior is gutted down to concrete for …

I got a haircut at City Salon (formerly Goodfellas Salon...it's no longer an all male salon) which is next door to the Capitol Club office. The door was propped slightly open and it was gutted and the window was covered with sheets. Not sure what th…

Bud Kouts Chevrolet is moving it's used car lot from the current site at Michigan Ave. and 127. Michigan Flyer is saying they might build a bus terminal that would include it's corporate offices, bus depot, parking and potentially a coffee shop. Tha…

I noticed on Friday night after Silver Bells that the new BWL chiller building off of Allegan had what looked like permanent lighting on the sides of the buliding and they were alternating colors as I rode by on CATA. Not a huge thing, but kinda int…

Allegan is now open...and even more exciting, the street lights are up and working on Grand Ave. for the first time in 2 years!!! It looked really nice to see this morning.

One of the things that bothers me most is the lack of a SINGLE window on the east facing wall. At least the west (river) facing wall has a decent amount of windows...they help you to kinda forget that it's a sheet-metal pole barn. But the east wall,…

That's a good point MM. I should have included GM's new facility in Delta Township, as I think it still fits with my example because the facility is high-tech manufacturing, and I think that is also part of the "new" economy.
-
It's also really cool to see so clearly how an economy can shift in what's happening in Delta Township. I mean, you lose GM facilities and are quickly having the numbers of jobs lost replaced by an almost equal amount of jobs in insurance/hi-tech co…

Liquid Web is planning on hiring 600 new employees now that they're in their new $80 million Lansing headquarters. Seriously, could you even wish for more good news than Lansing has had lately? There's no where else in Michigan I'd rather be living …
