  • I really enjoy your posts and sometimes I don't comment replies because they would basically be "I agree" and I sometimes aren't sure what else to say. I know that this time of the year can be slower for construction updates. I'll try to post more c…
  • The City of East Lansing is going to extend the Northern Tier trail. One of the paths currently ends at a parking lot in the Whitehills neighborhood. That path will now extend to the corner of Lake Lansing and Birch Row. Another extension will bring…
  • Oh I guess I didn't know that before. That's a bit of a downer to me, I wish that GM would do something with the land in the meantime, at least put some dirt, trees, and grass in.
  • Yeah, I was hoping for mixed use too, at least in the area by Eckhert.
  • A Kansas City company has agreed to buy and redevelop all four of the Lansing area’s former General Motors properties that were abandoned when the automaker declared bankruptcy in 2009. Developer buying four Lansing-area ex-GM properties The…
  • While I agree that doing city wide light coordinating would be a great boost in efficiency, having slow traffic is another incentive for people to use alternate modes of transportation such as biking.
  • Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
  • Pretty disappointed to see that the RTA failed in Detroit and the surrounding area. That proposal could have had a lot of positive effects for the region. I'm happy that there wasn't a BRT proposal on the ballot in Lansing, it probably wouldn't h…
  • More information about Replay Tavern and the old Chrome Cat building. From a reddit thread, it looks like Replay Tavern (a console-based barcade) will be where Grand River Tackle & Bait was, on the corner of Larch and Grand River. The old Chrome…
  • I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, and I must have missed it, but the plans for Claras are to reopen as an entertainment venue in 2017. http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/11/07/claras-memorabilia-sold-given-away-week/9341…
  • I believe "Branoff" was part of "Branoff Asset Management", which used to own the "Abbot Manor" building, I believe prior to Westpac owning it.
  • Yeah, I second what gbinlansing says. We need people who are willing to accept changes and not require that our communities continue to develop as though they are stuck in the 1960s and 1970s.
  • This is a screenshot from their walkthrough video which shows the entrance on Willoughby, Here's a link to the video, Willoughby Estates - Virtual Tour Architectural Animation. The quality of these fly-throughs is getting really good! The devel…
  • An update today on Willoughby Estates. Construction is now underway and the developer plans to have construction finished by August 2017. More details at http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/11/01/38m-apartment-complex-under-c…
  • No, didn't google it, but I think I remember reading something about it before. They're related to Replay Entertainment from East Lansing, right?
  • I think Replay Tavern might actually be a retro-gaming style bar, with pinball machines and old arcade machines. At least I hope so!
  • What is with politicians and their thinking of "not voting" being better than a yes-no vote?
  • Looks like Ingham County won't be helping finance the project, http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2016/10/14/red-cedar-project-financing/92048840/ I don't blame them though. They said that they still haven't gotten any financial …
  • The site went down today for a little over an hour while the site was moved to new server hardware. I didn't know this was going to happen today, and in the process I had to do some maintenance to clean up some more hard drive space on the server. T…
  • Buried in the LSJ article about the project being shelved was this paragraph about a new Tavern & Tap location opening in downtown Okemos, Tavern & Tap in downtown Lansing plans to add a second location in downtown Okemos at the former Mer…
