Lansing's airport is getting direct flights to NY and D.C. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays! This could be really good for the airport. We'll have direct flights to some good places. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20090312/NEWS03/9031…

E. Lansing sounds like they're on board for light rail. That's a good thing...it's been nice hearing all the regional cooperation lately, with that things can really start happening with regional cooperation. Things like light rail will ONLY work wi…

I noticed this morning that renovation of the facade for Kelly's and the former Byblos is underway. Steel/metal beams have been put over the existing brick facade and plywood has been put up over the metal. There are setbacks starting at the top tha…

I remember there being $1 million in the stimulus wish list for Lansing for the Capitol Club project. If I remember correctly, it wasn't directly for the project, but was for fixing up the riverfront area in front of the proposed site. If that $1 mi…

That makes sense...I just didn't know how much possibility there was that the major building construction could damage the beautification work such as trees etc. But it sounds like that is pretty minimal compared to the benefits of doing it that way…

The city has solid plans to start construction end of March on beautifying the river front by AF and the City Market spending $3.2 million. I kinda wonder how that's going to work...why start beautifying the area when AF construction is under way an…

Are you sure that the cause for the move is that they can't sustain their Denver call center? Another part of the article that sounded good was that their former headquarters building is now full except for 1 floor.

Regarding the Towne Center Building and LCC, I should have been more specific in my question. I meant to ask if anyone knew if they're building any new structures as part of their project? Do I read your post correctly MM that they are simply rennov…

Are you guys saying this about the city's economic hub at the Stadium District being a: good, bad or neutral thing? I don't see it as bad, but I can't decide which of the other two it is. Also, I noticed the north side of the building at Capitol an…

Good points...cars getting through was one reason, and I would agree with you that in this case they should be 2nd, but I was also thinking that having it on Allegan would allow the end of the block at Allegan and Washington to remain open which mig…

Also, I was talking to the owner of TedDees and he made a comment I thought was interesting. He said he'd like to see Blues on the Square move to Allegan instead of Washington...he thought it would open things up more for people to get to explore mo…

I just worked out at the downtown YMCA and the upstairs expansion is well underway. The walls are all knocked out and plastic up for the construction going on in the north portion of the upstairs. Downtown had lots of foot traffic on Washington Sq. …

Yeah, that's great to hear...I think a big step will be made when Troppos moves across the street and Tavern moves to the current Troppo location. I'm very hopeful that that will connect the Michigan Ave. and Wash Sq. entertainment districts...right…

One more thing, I think I said it before, but there's a part of me that almost wants the Capitol Club to be put on hold...when the markets stabilize, if this project hasn't broken ground already, I think it would go back up to 18-20 floors. I would …

As much as I came off as a "sky is falling" kind of person with the City Market, I'm not too worried about projects being put on hold right now. As long as the Accident Fund and new City Market are built, I think we're doing very well. With the econ…

At the Downtown Neighborhood Associatin meeting yesterday LCC's VP of Public Relations talked about their being work done to replace the surface lot at Shiawasee and Capitol (I think) with a new Science and Technology building for their expanding pr…

There is a carded access gate to the parking lot on Washington Sq. immediately north of the library.

I got an invitation from the Public Service Dept. and the PSD for "input for the upcoming streetscape project onS. Washington Sq." I'm sure they wouldn't be upset if some you came. It's this Thursday, Jan. 29, 8am at the Radisson Hotel, Michigan Roo…

Another good piece of news: the Michigan Credit Union League is moving it's office from Northville to downtown Lansing in the building that Troppos is in. They are taking up the entire 9th floor (9,000 sq/ft). Great to hear businesses moving from th…

I found it really interesting that it's being announced in the Renaissance Center like it involves GM but there isn't any official partnership. Good timing with the North American Auto Show. But yeah, this could be particularly exciting for Michigan…
