Interesting news, hopefully it comes to fruition. This area is really starting to get built up which is a nice thing. The real negative around this area is how fast and how many lanes Cedar and Larch have. I wonder if they would eventually contem…

RE: Sidecar Slider Bar - I wish them the best and hope they can succeed in that location. My understanding is that the last tenant was pushed out due to Gillespie increasing the rent significantly, maybe they've softened on that now that it has been…

Pretty stoked that this is finally coming to fruition. I generally avoid EL and haven't been out to Ellison in years. It will be nice to not have to go out that way to enjoy their product.

I received an email back from MDOT just now regarding the EB lanes, there are no plans at this time to repave that section as the WB lanes were done with leftover funds. They said they will be looking into it again if/when funds become available onc…

Looks like it is MDOT after all. I emailed them and they sent over the press release. I asked them about the EB lanes and if they are going to put in the light at N Clippert sometime soon. I'll update this post when I hear back.

I was driving through Frandor today and noticed that the westbound lanes where grand river and saginaw merge together have been paved over. I tried to find the project information online to figure out if they are going to do the whole area but there…

Interesting. Thanks for the updates Mich. Regarding the Eastern High School site, is Sparrow planning to expand the hospital or are they going to make this into a mixed use development of sorts? I wish the building was going to be saved but I imagin…

I feel like being centrally located gives Lansing an edge for these sorts of facilities being built. You can hop on the freeway in all cardinal directions and get to where you need to go to distribute.

It's interesting how a lot of these old houses on Michigan Ave had storefronts cobbled together onto the front. The one at 1800 seems to have been cobbled together every which way if you take a look at it on google maps. I've always wondered how the…

Call me a NIMBY all you want but I think expanding the current location is not ideal for the current shelter nor the city as a whole. Like others have said above it seems like it would make more sense to sell or rent the current properties and use t…

The way the financier came off in that article strikes me as a bunch of hot air. I am firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. I guess I just expect something more concrete when someone is pitching something and this just reads as someone…

Downtown Lansing eyes 'social districts' to expand outdoor dining Proposed locations per the article: DLI’s initial proposal includes three social districts: * The alley from Ottawa Street to Washtenaw Street, behind the 200 block of South Wa…

Really surprising shift over there. I don't disagree with the termination, I do think that the city attorney should have been bid out sooner rather than just a few years ago. I haven't been a fan of how the current city attorney has handled a variet…

Looks like the city planted a bunch of trees along the south side of Marshall Park, running along Saginaw highway. It's going to take a while but it should make that area much nicer with the added shade. Here is to hoping people don't vandalize and …

Looks like Pablo's sold their property in REO town a couple weeks ago. The purchaser is L&P Properties LLC, which seems tied to a general contractor called Trumble Group. Their website shows that they did work on a number of recent developments …

The building expansion for Neopollard is coming along pretty well at 2105 E Grand River Ave. The outside cinder block walls look mostly complete, no roofing or interior work whatsoever yet so far as I can tell. I took some pictures while walking by …

Mich, you're right, I just drove by the site again last night and didn't see any additional work on it, and on further inspection no grading has been done. I must have just saw the workers when I quickly glanced to my left through that tangle of int…

I noticed that the ground looks to be in the process of being graded as well as some utility work being done at 705 N Larch St, which is the empty lot north of the giant QD between Cedar and Larch St. I had totally forgotten what was there until I l…

Props to Spadafore for calling them out on that. I agree that a single-use structure in what is arguably prime real estate downtown is short sighted and will be something the city would likely regret in future decades. What happens if Saginaw gets r…
