Not sure how much the developer is paying the non-union workers but it is customary for the union workers to demand that unions be hired for the job. Union workers pay union dues, some of which go towards helping to create more jobs. The protest lin…

The talk in the Red Cedar Renaissance thread got me thinking about how many of the recent developments were built on land that was previously owned by a municipality. Of the major developments that come to mind: * Red Cedar Renaissance * Accide…

Yeah, this will all be done in coordination with resurfacing Harrison.

The City of East Lansing is going to put North Harrison between Saginaw and Lake Lansing on a road diet in the middle of June. The road will be switching from two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction with a center turning lane and b…

Great write up and breakdown. For Ingham, do we know how many out of that 1,800 were newborns or transplants?

Update on the development at the corner of Grand River and Spartan Ave on the site of the old Tasty Treat (née Tasty Twist). On February 25th it was approved by the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. It will go in front of the City Council for publ…

It looks like there are 24 windows per building above the ground floor. Shutters can be purchased from Home Depot for about $50 per pair. That would be $1,200 per building and the satellite view shows 8 buildings. Installation would probably double …

Yeah it's the right size for the area, but as with MSUFCU it would have been great if these buildings were built in the urban cores.

That's interesting. The sign for The Orchard was definitely at the site of The Rocks before construction of The Rocks and the website for The Orchard is no longer up. I guess The Orchard and The Cottages are different and I was confused. But The Orc…

I agree. It looks like there are only shutters facing Chandler Rd. It would have been nice if they included shutters next to all of the windows throughout the rest of the development. By the way, The Rocks is what ended up getting built at the si…

I went by Frandor today and got this picture of the new Sparrow facility at the corner of Saginaw and 127, it's the building in with the green insulation/walls. Looks like a good sized building, would have been great to see it on a smaller foot…

Three new pictures from East Lansing today. The first is the site of the Red Cedar Flats development that Scott Chapelle is building on Grand River. Nobody working on the site today and it's been in this state for a few weeks. Not sure what the d…

I went by the site today and took a picture from the Frandor Plus parking lot. This picture shows the height of the water tower next to the building as well as the Frandor sign.

Will there be two more concrete sections added on top of the current cement towers?

Panda Express will be opening a location in the ground floor of the State News building on Grand River. The State News will be moving to the second floor of the building. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/03/09/panda-expres…

We're coming up to the 10-year anniversary of this site. I can't believe it! The oldest comments I can find on the site are dated July 30th, 2006. I'd like to organize a couple "walk-arounds" to celebrate. We can meet up in downtown Lansing an…

The article MichMatters linked to says that there were boards on top of these planks, so it wouldn't be as bumpy of a ride as the picture makes it look like. Those boards were removed when the street was put in, but the planks remained as they provi…

Any idea as to the oldest street in Lansing? Michigan Ave is likely the oldest *main* street in the city, stretching from Detroit to Lansing via boardwalk, but I'm curious if there were streets/pathways that existed before Michigan Ave.

Moving discussion of Stonehouse Village VI to its own thread now that it appears to have some legs.

Yeah, not a destination hotel or even something to compete with the Marriott in East Lansing or Radisson downtown. At least a hotel with a rooftop bar or fancy restaurant included would be a compromise.
