UPS to take over air cargo services for USPS. With Lansing airport being a UPS hub for Michigan (outside of Metro Detroit) this seemingly would provide a boost in cargo shipments for CRIA. https://usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/02/ups-primary-ai…

That is good news for Lansing's airport; hopefully this new service can last. Kalamazoo is also getting Orlando flights through Avelo Airlines. Granted on different days-of-the-week than Lansing. I think the competition from Grand Rapids, Flint, …

Thanks for adding the Donate link. I'll try to donate periodically.

Another attempt at construction of a 30-story mixed-use mid/high rise building in Lansing: Financier draws plan to build Lansing's tallest building Interesting the the financing seems to be a more assured thing. This seems to fall under the "I'll…

I think the ads are a good idea, if they help to support the site long term. Thanks for your efforts in keeping the site up and running over the years. I would be happy to provide a one-time $ support for the web site. Have you considered putting…

I lived out there when Chandler Crossings first opened at Melrose Apts (now the Landings at Chandler Crossings) on the east side of Chandler Rd. The appeal at the time was the new units, often cheaper than closer to campus apts, and the amenities (…

Drive past it this evening, the octagon portion was torn down. None of the old hotel appears to be standing.

Finley's is what they tore down. I heard a Panera is going in there.

Thanks for pointing out the City Pulse architecture article. I read the Pulse regularly, but hadn't noticed it yet. I agree with much that is stated there, especially on the SkyView design. To me I guess the white panels, starkly against the blue…

Much bigger than Lansing, of course, but I Google mapped Manhattan. I hadn't been there since high school 20 years ago, so I couldn't really remember. It appears the majority are 1 ways. Probably more of a necessity there due to traffic volume, b…

I think overall good news on the conversion to two way streets. Yes a lot of these one ways pre-date the surrounding freeways. I'm probably most happy about Grand Ave being converted to two-way. Not entirely sure why, I think it just made the lea…

With regards to Cooley Law School stadium, to me it's not the best ballpark ever, though I think it is fine architecturally. Curious what you feel is awkward there? Lugnuts games there, in my opinion, are enjoyable. The Outfield Apts make the sta…

I think overall it is good news. I assume this means that Lansing United is moving up to a higher league (I recall reading something earlier about that). This may be the best move available for the soccer team. Not sure where else in the Lansing …

It was called "Putting the Fix on 496" in 2001. The road was rebuilt (new concrete) from the west end of the Grand River bridge east to US-127. They added the third/merge lane between exits 7 (Cedar/Penn) and 8 (US-127 North). The Cedar/Penn/Gran…

Oh, no need to apologize. I just happened to remember reading it at the time. Agree that it is good news! I think I read it was an issue where the boilers at the Simon Plant were modern enough where they could be retrofitted for natural gas, wher…

The MSU Simon Power plant stopped burning coal in 2016 (natural gas now). http://ipf.msu.edu/green/energy/generating-power.html https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2015/msu-to-stop-burning-coal-at-campus-power-plant/

MDOT has a statewide construction map for 2018.

It's nice to hear a lot of different viewpoints on this project. gbdinlansing - I agree that the City Pulse had better renderings (and overall better coverage) of the project. MichMatters - I was thinking the same thing regarding the drain project…

I think the mix of retail and restaurants this project will reportedly have will go a long way in determining how impactful the entire project is. Sorry if I missed it, but do we know what restaurants/retail are planned or the branding of the two h…

Where I was going with "downsized" was the original price tag of $380 M reduced to $242 M. From the LSJ on Feb 23: "The developers of a $242 million project proposed at the site of the former Red Cedar Golf Course are asking the city to kick in mor…
