  • The Meijer's service station will be convenient it is true, although getting in and out of there may be challenging.
  • The final phase of the Michigan Avenue repaving project has finished with all the kind of crazy crossovers or Michigan lefts. The Clifford Street [Stapels] intersection has a left from Michigan east to N Clifford and west bound to the south from Mic…
  • Construction has begun on the new Meijer's Gas Station on the corner of Abbot and Lake Lansing Rd. with all the woods there removed. Whatever! are my thoughts on this development.
  • This is interesting and good news for our community, high paying jobs and producing products that lessen our reliance on fossil fuels. I hear a different opinion from DC about electric vehicles and renewable energy in general, so this seems plan to …
  • I read that McDonalds is still seeking to build a shop at the site of John Anthony's flower shop on Michigan. It said that they are working on a new plan that fits with the neighborhood's zoning and development requirements. IMO that spot will soon …
  • Here is my spring Red Cedar beaver report! The little fellows cut down several dozen small trees this winter along the river path behind Beal Garden. Including several white birches that were planted by MSU along the trail in the studium side. Beave…
  • That is just crazy! My house on Cape Cod had a smaller tax rate than a home in Lansing! Maybe Lansing should have a nickname like "Taxachusettes" something like "Taxsing" or "Lansing, The Taxing Capital of America"! We have the most expensive parkin…
  • There is a new building going up in the Frandor area on N Homer and E Saginaw at the former site of a service station. It is a lager two- or three-story building so I would guess it is not a fast-food restaurant, there was a sign with an attorney's …
  • I am not a homeowner in Lansing, and there are times when renting feels like throwing money down a bottomless hole. I think a lot of people have the income to say get a home loan, but when you add taxes utilities, trash removal, and home maintenance…
  • I saw the new public service buildings on S. Washington, and I was impressed by the size and look of the new facilities. I guess it makes the tiny city hall make more sense as many departments are now going to be in the new building. It also looks l…
  • I guess this is not on the subject [EL development], but anyway one way we could calm things down is cut down on over-serving alcohol at all the bars, and maybe not selling to visibly intoxicated people at stores. As a bartender in Mass. you are hel…
  • I agree that we are failing our community if we have mentally ill people going around vandalizing and breaking windows so often, they know the guy. I would probably know him to if I saw him. I noticed the back door of Detroit Wings has been smashed …
  • I think I know who you may know the guy talking the police are talking about, some days he is kind of mild some days and some days he would be aggressive calling me names etc. I think that although some people should not use cannabis or relay on it …
  • I saw an announcement about the renovation of the Washinton Apartments on S. Washington Ave. The LHC is going to rehab the building into affordable senior housing. I looked at that building for years, it really is unique in Lansing, and I hope they …
  • LSJ has an artical about the planned psychiatric hospital to be built on the site of Eastern HS. The depiction looks pretty nice, a modern sleek mainly brick building. There was also a depiction of the garden walkway with two arches from the old sch…
  • What a nice day you had for these photos, thanks for posting them. The new City Hall is still looking underwhelming. I am hoping the brick facade will help. Is parking planned for the old dry cleaners building? that would make a nice green space on …
  • I agree with you, it seems like Lansing should have a nice modern facility, and the fact that the present terminal still functions is not really a good excuse for not updating or totally replacing the terminal. I wonder if it the oldest terminal of …
  • It may be that the current building is adequate for their needs today. I don't know why it should be such a big deal to build a new terminal to go with the new jet-ways. I noticed an artical about Delta adding Boston flights from Traverse City, so I…
  • While going for a walk at Scott Woods I noticed that crews were tearing down the old Lansing General Hospital. My Mom used to work there. It was very large hospital; it seems strange that it was no longer useful. I forget how "old" I am sometimes as…
  • I read that the airport is getting funds for new jetways. It is interesting that there are more funds and flights on the way after the near death of our airport during the pandemic. Now if we could get a new terminal building it could be just like a…
