I have found most folks around here to be polite and have pretty good manners, when I ride the CATA bus many people thank the bus driver when departing. In Boston not so much. On to a quit different subject, I have noticed a number of trees this …

I noticed a building going up on the corner of Saginaw and Hosmer that has been vacant for many years. Also, in that area the rehab of the Rite Aid building is nearly finished with another! chicken wings place, Wings Stop looks like will be the firs…

DQ burgers are pretty good! I will have to get over that way; it has been a long time since I have been over there.

Of course, the "war" on drugs began before Nixon, most drug probations were put into law for racist reasons and for protection of the alcohol, and tobacco industries. Nixon just made it a national "war" by poisoning Mexican cannabis fields, sending …

I saw an interesting story about the Lansing School District partnering with Gillespie to redevelop the north side of 600 E Michigan into housing for Lansing School employees, Fire. Police, State workers etc. Sounds like a good plan. the alley behin…

I understand what you are saying about this article, and it was not written by anyone here, but I would have to point out that this is not a Dems. vs reps. or a both sides are to blame issue. I don't want to give addicts a cozy place to take drugs. …

I will not be reading anymore articles from the Michigan Enjoyer. While the article was factually correct about some of the negative issues along the river trail, blaming Lansing Liberals for stuff like needles "filling" the fish ladder is overstati…

I visited the Fish Ladder Music Theater yesterday and I found it very nice, there were really nice touches like the musical notes depicted in the fence around the amphitheater, nice brick work, beautiful murals around the bowl, lighting up the trees…

Cool shots! One makes Lansing look like a small clearing in the woods, the next cast Lansing in a much better "light" the Capitol Building looks so nice surrounded by green lawns not parking lots.

Thanks for posting this report, I have always thought that Lansing's parks are such a great asset to the community. I guess there were more kids in the old days, Quentin Park like many other neighborhood parks in Lansing had supervised activities fo…

I was kind of "something is better than nothing" on this project not really thinking about the actual negatives or positives. I lived in Mass. in '08 and I had not heard of this proposal, but I do know there were several really nice projects that di…

I committed on the proposed project as perhaps something positive, while it seems like some think otherwise. I had not heard of any other projects being proposed at that location so I was thinking it would be good to develop former industrial area/p…

It was very exciting to read about a new data center a British company wants to build downtown at Kalamazoo and Cedar on the surface lots there. It seems it will to be a unique facility that will use the excess heat the data center produces to heat …

I think the homeless camping was a big part of why they are clearing these areas, plus it just looks so much better with all the underbrush and weeds gone. The woods next to Kalamazoo St. and beyond have been cleared and the forest looks healthier a…

It is understandable that one would be a little pessimistic about downtown and the future, it looked pretty deserted on the south end the other day when I was down there. It would help if the State would return their workers downtown, and with all t…

I agree that the students could use some basic biking rules of the road education, they could use a lot of education how to behave in many areas! I would add alerting pedestrians when approaching from behind. Maybe a speed limit on bike paths for el…

I took my first drive down Michigan Avenue and it was really nice and smooth; I was impressed by the number and variety of trees planted. The Lansing style streetlamps look good too. However, there is a lot of cement to look at, and I also cannot un…

I read a report from WILX that talked about the planning of the Gate Way project, looking at different locations with the sub-title Athletic and Recreation District, the artical included a map with a circle around the studium and athletic facilities…

Work on the new apartment buildings on Grand Ave. is going pretty fast, I saw crews installing a stoneface-brick on the exterior facade on the northern most building. I was happy to see that the building will look nicer than the "prison block" depic…

There were plans to renovate the building at 414 Bakers a while ago, I hope this one will happen. the google maps picture show not much of a roof left.
