  • I second that Jared, taking the amount of time it must have took to put that much thought into your response is certainly appreciated. While we may not agree 100% on everything (no one ever does), that level of committment to think through the issue…
  • Also, I can't speak for MM, but based on his suggestion that you haven't been pro-active, it would not be facts of your record, but the lack of facts that he'd be basing his allegation on. More specifically, one cannot offer facts of things that nev…
  • Hi Mr. Hewitt! I for one appreciate your openess and willingness to come on here and join the discussion. I would certainly be interested to hear your explanation for your vote. This group is probably biased towards supporting the sale of the ramp t…
  • Was anyone else surprised by the split of the vote? It seemed strange that Jeffries broke ranks with Wood, Hewitt and Robinson.
  • This is just my opinion, but I think City Center II is right around where I'd put a cap. I think some of EL's college town atmosphere would be lost if it had a downtown like Lansing. I think 8-12 stories is the max for EL. One of the things I love a…
  • This does suck...I think this has been a giant game of chicken and trying to call eachother's bluff. I wonder how possible it is that one of the sides will give in once it appears dead? I wonder how much this kills the new parking ramp proposal for …
  • This isn't the "Grill & Bar Coming Soon" sign...it's the actual permanent sign for "Downtown Dog House." It also looked like they had "Downtown Dog House" labeled equipment set up inside.
  • It's going in where the Famous Taco was, so right next to Great Harvest on Allegan.
  • The entire Grand Ave. facade is off when I walked by tonight. Nice to see they're on a good pace...maybe while they have the lane shut down and the equipment in place they'll start tearing down the two old buildings!
  • Downtown Dog House (Allegan and Washington) has a nice permanent sign up and when I walked by tonight there were people moving around inside and it looks like they will be opening soon.
  • Sorry, maybe this clarification isn't needed, but just so no one freaks out...$40 million in city revenue sharing was cut statewide, not for just Lansing...it comes out to ~$1 million cut for Lansing from what I saw.
  • Okay, I have to rant!!! Regarding the cuts in the state budget announced today...and it is relevent to development in Lansing: $40 million cut for city revenue sharing...I am absolutely so utterly sick of this, we CAN'T touch the Corrections Departm…
  • Good news, the lane is closed off on Grand Ave in front of the parking garage, construction equipment is on site including a small mobile crane. Half of the front facade of the parking garage is already removed!
  • There is some fairly extensive rennovations going on to the Ruetter Park fountain. Today I see the entire fountain is fenced off, all the hedges are removed, some of the concrete path is tore up and construction equipment is in place. And the really…
  • MM, the way I read the article about Capitol Club, they are waiting to mass market this project until they actually break ground. That they are holding off until they're closer so people they pull in from marketing don't get tired of waiting and pul…
  • Two questions: 1. Any ideas why the Boji's haven't taken down the scaffolding for the old sign at the top of the Boji Tower? 2. Since the Accident Fund project seems to be pretty much a given (I hope I don't jynx it), what is the next most signifi…
  • They're calling for ground breaking 2010 and opening 2012...no surprise, but they also said the price has risen from $40 million to $40-45 million. So at least it sounds like costs have been reined in since the shocking $160 million had been thrown …
  • I agree hood, right now I'd be ecstatic just to see Capitol Club and MarketPlace get dirt moving.
  • On the south side facing michigan ave. on the 1st floor (covering a space where a window used to be.
  • I didn't think this was worth its own thread at this point, so a rail thread I thought was best for now. They are looking into a high speed rail service between Lansing, Detroit and Ann Arbor. It would incorporate distribution systems for hydrogen g…
