  • I'm looking near Pattengill and Mt Hope btw
  • How were you able to find the parcel number for your home? I've got the current parcel number but the description at the top of the page doesn't help me find the old number.
  • The LSJ has a story on their front page about documents related to selling and redeveloping city hall. They link to http://lansingcityhallredevelopment.com/ which is the website advertising the redevelopment. I am pretty against this. I don't thi…
  • I personally don't think Lansing should have a casino. They don't offer great paying jobs for the area, and they drain a lot of the money out of the area as well. The scholarships it would pay for are the only positive, and I wonder how many scholar…
  • College Rd gets a fair amount of traffic, mainly because people hit pretty high speeds on it and it's a quick way to get to campus.
  • I could be mistaken but the picture MichMatters posted looks like weeds in the flower bed at the bottom of the photo. If those are intentional plantings their positioning seem quite random and not thought out :P
  • I think the proposed Holiday Inn is supposed to behind (north of) the Hyatt Place.
  • Thanks for the photos! This building is so cool, I think what makes me the happiest about it is the lack of drama around its construction and proposal/planning process. If we could get a few more of these in the pipeline along the Michigan Ave / Gra…
  • Huh, the wording is confusing to me too. To say "none" makes it seem that properties along MAC, for example, could be built right up to the curb? But there would be an easement for the sidewalk and the building could be built right up to the sidewal…
  • Yes, the idea about building something off of Wood makes a lot more sense to me. But I don't think LEPFA is struggling to find meeting rooms, and I don't think that the city should be in the business of event hosting (excluding the Lansing Center). …
  • Ormond Park also had many of its old growth trees cut down to make way for the roadway. Unfortunately these can't be brought back no matter what the courts decide. I'm pretty upset that Bernero tried to rush this through before he left office. It…
  • Looks great! And that's without the murals. Should look great during the day when the murals get put in.
  • Yeah Virginia Street is the same project that @david_shane was talking about with the Mayberry single family homes.
  • This is at the corner of Beech and Gunson in East Lansing. It's between Burcham, Abbot, Hagadorn, and Grand River.
  • Nice picture! I had forgotten about these. They replaced the old "monopoly" houses. At this site there used to be about 12 small little cottages that each looked like tiny monopoly houses. I think DTN did a good job with the colors here, looks like …
  • I personally like the Georgios across from BW3 better, but yeah it's sad to lose the local and independent businesses. Hopefully it can reopen in the new building or move to another location on Grand River.
  • Looks like there's a few more things that need to get approved, such as the condominium agreement, with possibility that the city could back out if they disagree with the financials of the project. But otherwise, this looks like it's going to move f…
  • Okay, the typo makes much more sense I used to live in Hubbard Hall and we would go up to the top floor and look out of the windows there. You can really see the whole east side of the region from the top floor. All the way out to the lights fro…
  • This project is working with city land or an existing distressed project. The project is working with the 7-11 and possibly the Georgio's Pizza next door. Neither of these properties are city-owned or distressed, which tells me that this pro…
  • I don't fault people for wanting to cross there. The alternative is to walk about two blocks to the corner, cross, then walk the two blocks back. Almost a half-mile of walking for no apparent gain besides safety, which isn't perfect either consideri…
