I have not been over to this area in a while, and I was wondering about the high-rise apartment building that was talked about a while ago on N. Grand River at the north side of the river. I have not heard or read anything about this project for som…

Over on Mount Hope the walls for the new school are going up already. It is always a relief to see actual construction going on, as opposed to the talk and plans that we usually have that go on for years before anything happens.

I have found the terminal very dark, like are they trying to save money on lighting? There are several car dealerships that have terminal-like buildings, if they can build dealerships like that, it seems like we could build a new well-lit building t…

I noticed a new business next to the Gate Way Lofts on Michigan Ave. The old paint store in the steel frame building across the street has been renovated into a pet wash and supply store. Looks better than before. I am hoping the road work will fini…

I was around before this street was converted to the present configuration; the project cleared out a lot of old homes and neighborhood business districts including my old hood along South Logan and Barnes. Those places would be "Old Towns" these da…

I saw a small news artical about the redevelopment of the former GM land on Verlinden, it did not have many details.

I am happy to report that Dave's Hot Chicken is pretty good, and quite a hit, filled with customers all the time. It is better than Raising Canes [imo] there are only a few items on the menu other than chicken which they cook to order so you will wa…

Crews were using huge cranes and cement cutters to pull up the main center spans of the Farm Lane Bridge today, interesting to watch for all you sidewalk supervisors out there.

I was so happy to drive by the site and find the repaving of Michigan Ave after long last had begun. I think the street will look so great with the water features new plantings and smooth pavement! I am wondering if more is going to done in the Fran…

I agree that the mill building in downtown Eaton Rapids has a great potential to be a really cool place. My Grand Father lived in Albion and we went through Eaton Rapids often when there was still a mill there. I can remember seeing blankets and clo…

Folks in East Lansing will have yet another coffee shop to choose from, the renovation of the old Campus Corners store front is going to be a coffee shop, they put up the new signage the other day, which looks nice. The other new coffee shop at the …

I drove from Casa Nova [best pizza] down Wavery down to Saginaw and was disappointed to see that the Car Wash is still the only thing built on the golf course site so far, is that development still happening. [I know this is in the township] further…

I noticed the steel beams going up at the Trader Joes site, and a new credit union building going up next door. Too bad they could not use the old Bank of Lansing building just up the road it is a pretty cool Mid-century modern building. Over on Mar…

Just a note about the "Sad Little Town" story, someone has come up with a T-shirt with a mittened fist with a star in the middle and the middle finger flipping the bird, and "A Sad Little Town" printed below. You can get one at sadlittletown.com! Pr…

I am not sure why a Free Press editorial would want to say something like "Lansing is a Sad Little Town and should not be the State Capital!" She bad mouths just about everything here including "Lansing Tacos"! Where did she go for tacos? Not Pablos…

I may be wrong [I have been in the past!:}] but while driving past the new apartments on S Cedar downtown they seemed to be working on the overhead utility-lines in front of the new buildings. In my brief look as I passed it looked like they may be …

It looks like the reconstruction of the Farm Lane Bridge is starting up again, there were crews working under the bridge today and signs up noting the road will be closed as of 12/18. Up the street the new student center is taking shape and looks la…
