Looks good, I can never get past Charlie Kangs and OMI sushi as they are steps away from my building, so once the smoke clears, I am going to give this place a try.

It is good to read that all these projects are moving forward, we have been disappointed in the past by big plans but no action. I like that they are drawing up new plans for the Old Town project, including input from the community. The new design h…

I took a look at the new apartment tower downtown where I saw they are installing the glass facade on the lower floors. I am nerdy enough to find this quite exciting! I like that the building will have many different angles not just a flat wall of g…

The whole road seems kind of crazy, why you cannot just take the drive from Frandor straight across Michigan to the new development without doing a Michigan left or at Clippert the same arrangement requires a Michigan left to get to the other side. …

I agree with you, perhaps we could use some of a hotel stay tax money to solve this problem. I think visitors could help us a little. I would like to see police precincts located in every neighborhood, and more patrols throughout the city. People h…

True of course, I can't defend my thoughts about this issue, I believe many levels of government should be taking issues like this with a determination to solve the problem one way or another, everyone should be considered in a commonwealth.

This seems like a good place for housing homeless and low-income folks to get them a nice place to live. It does look creepy now, my brother tried to burn the place down in "63, accidently placed a handkerchief over a lamp! Romantic yes but also dum…

The Jackson Building was Jacobson's Department Store. It is in the 300 block of E. Grand River. The space next door to the west has been under renovation for years. It was planned to be an Italian Restaurant with Bacci Ball courts upstairs, but I do…

The one and off again project is on again at the store front next to the Jackson Building. Crews were digging up the cement in the ally yesterday and there was a port-a-potty there, so it looks like some real work is going on there. Like I have said…

Those seem like manageable numbers in a community of 500 thousand people.

Your right of course, I actually do think the sidewalk is a good idea. The sidewalk now ends at the airport road on Grand River. Is that the city limit?

It could be an answer to some of these mental health issues and addiction issues if we spent as much on mental health as we do on locking people up. Or perhaps once they are locked up give people the help and resources, they need to live a normal li…

I wonder how many people will use the sidewalk in one year? It would be a better idea to improve the passenger terminal. I have never thought "gee I wish I could walk to the airport".

This is a dilemma that I face every day when I walk outside my building. I don't think the social worker could do anything, except perhaps just walking by asking him to move along. Maybe offer some 2 minutes of therapy by engaging the guy and talkin…

I kind of did not want to say it is because the men that hang out in the plaza, but I do think there are a lot of people who avoid them and the area. They don't seem to effect El Azteco's business, except like me I don't want to sit in a window boo…

Another fast-food shop closed in downtown EL rather unexpectedly, like one day it was there the next it was closed. The Savey Sliders shop was only at the Ann Street location for about a year, seemed popular, the food was good. I think that real est…

I was very happy to read a report on LSJ.com that after three years of working to clear our rivers of trash and fallen trees the group of hundreds of volunteers declared the rivers "clean". I have not been down the river trail in a long while becaus…

Yes, there was an ice storm up there north of M-72 there are a lot of trees down, but these are lumber cutting operations, some are clear cuts, others leave some trees standing. It is startling to see the clear cuts for the first time. I travel in G…

Down on E. Grand River Ave the women's clothing store Pitaya has a for lease sign, one less non-food shop which is very popular with the women college students. Maybe they are moving to another spot. Next to the Curious Bookshop a new Korean/Asian r…

I read today that the Granger family has gifted U of M Lansing a large donation in the seven figures for the new mental health center to be built at the Eastern High School site. I love when people who have done well here "pay it back", I would thin…
