  • The airport's current terminal is borderline an embarrassment, It really is. I describe it to out-of-towners as a glorfied bus station.
  • I'm right with you. On the macro, we're getting a lot of conflicting indicators, making it difficult to navigate the markets a bit right now. I know we're off topic now, so I won't elaborate, but I agree with your assessment that it's hard to see qu…
  • I'm not a developer, so this is just speculation, but with the federal fund rate possibly at the terminal level, it would make sense for Gillespie to stall and bet on a pivot and lower rates in 2024. That's my optimistic take. My pessimistic take i…
  • Funny, I'd heard absolutely nothing of this. Funny enough, me neither until the /r/lansing thread today where a few are pushing it out of the blue https://old.reddit.com/r/lansing/comments/17qqrnp/a_revision_to_lansings_city_charter_passed/
  • It's a big gap in the trail system- both that, and the gap from Waverly/Jolly to the south expansion about 1/2 a mile south on Waverly. Fill those and you have a great, large loop

  • Is Lansing ready for a $125 steak! I doubt it. I love the area, but a lot of the people here have a small town mindset and don't/can't appreciate fine food. For example, I heard so much bitching about Buddy's Pizza being too expensive, and s…
  • As cool as this would be- The Capitol Club Tower was also proposed....right before the real estate crash. A lot of people are anticipating another downturn in the real estate market, so this might just be a top indicator (again).
  • 25-story residential building, hundreds of new apartments: Here's what $200M downtown Lansing proposal includes LANSING — More than 450 new housing units would come to downtown Lansing in the next two years under a $200 million proposal by th…
  • It's interesting to see Joe Kosik in this context. He's also the head of Wisconsin Resorts, Inc, which owns and operates all of the metro Detroit ski areas except Mt. Brighton, plus some others in MI, WI, and ON. I'm a snowsport enthusiest, so I'm f…
  • I'd been trying to see if Google Streetview had updated it for a few months, now, and they JUST updated it this month. I actually saw the google streetview car a couple weeks ago driving that area. I'm going to see if I made it in the shot now …
  • I'm starting to realize how silly it was for me to expect residential high rises back before even the original Stadium District was built I feel you. I remember being so excited and actually thinking that the Capital Club high rise was possible…
  • I want the business, obviously, but I hate the location. There's already grassroots backlash trying to fight it. Let's fill in the developed area before expanding even further to the outer edge of the market.
  • You captured the trail situation in SW Lansing along Waverly perfectly. Nice detail. I also want to see your proposed trail along the Consumers property along the power lines heading west from the current terminus of the trail at Waverly.
  • But I'm still so disappointed with how much MSU has turned its back on its own region on a whole host of fronts when they could been building prestige in their hometown. I couldn't have said it better.
  • I was caught off guard with the news that Sparrow Health System is being acquired by University of Michigan Medicine. I'm concerned about further consolidation, but I've also heard so much about Sparrow quality decline over the years, so I'm hoping …
  • The park controversy is ridiculous to me with this Christmas market. The city can't be expected to make a public park a de facto shanty town for homeless people and still expect others to want to move into apartments in the area. It sucks that we ha…
  • It didn't look close to finished yesterday. I'm shocked if the highway is open, Google Maps still shows it closed. I'll try to take it back from Mason this afternoon!
  • I'm sure the intent with Reutter is to increase "civilian" use in order to push out the vagrancy. Aesthetically, I agree that it looks odd for a formal park to have that playground shoehorned in, but the city also needs play infrastructure there if …
  • I don't understand the issue, /r/lansing was pretty sanctimonious about this as well. Of course Frandor doesn't want homeless people sleeping and defecating in the shelters, and I can't imagine CATA users are happy to use the shelter either if there…
