  • I read over on the Red Cedar Message Board that Five Guys will be opening October 7th.
  • The FRIB project has received approval to continue with the design and planning phase of the project. This phase is expected to consume the 2011-2012 fiscal year and will cost about $55 million. There is also a new rendering of the NSCL expansion on…
  • I read somewhere that Google has now decided upon two cities, but there was no announcement of which cities those were. They did mention that the connection speed would be gigabit connections. I'm keeping my fingers crossed its Lansing/East Lansing.
  • Progress is moving forward on the Five Guys location on Grand River. When I went by today I noticed that they had their decorative tiling up on the walls. They are scheduled to open in September. Also, a reminder that construction of the Art Muse…
  • It's too bad the project won't move forward. Getting the Knapps building project off the ground could be one of the large turning points for the next step of downtown.
  • The project is behind Suburban Ice. They clear cut the forest that was back there. I don't think there is a commercial component, the developers are relying on Hannah Plaza to provide commercial amenities.
  • @hood, I didn't realize nothing was posted about the Lodges of East Lansing here. This is being built by Capstone, the same group that built what is now called Abbot Place (on Abbot Road, north of Lake Lansing). They also wanted to build student apa…
  • A structure like this would have a lot of the same complaints that we dealt with when getting the skatepark built. Putting it over by Calkins Paint could make that part of the River Trail cooler and provide more business for Calkins :-)
  • I think the part over by the playground is specifically barren because they are hoping to get funding for the ice skating rink.

  • I rode on Gillespie's river boat yesterday from the Jazz Fest to the Lansing Center. The price was only $1 each way per person. I was surprised that it was such a good deal. The boat was packed and at some times there were too many people in line to…

  • I think it would be nice to see a permanent location for legal graffiti in Lansing, somewhat akin to the graffiti walls on Venice Beach in California.
  • It's a free concert, but I'm pretty sure you will have to pay to enter the beer tent.
  • I got an email press release today about the JazzFest this weekend. Anybody going? I should be there. Lansing, MI (August 2, 2010) – The 16th annual Lansing JazzFest (held August 6-7) will offer attendees an educational experience, thanks to the M…
  • This is the third Five Guys in the state that I know of. The first was in Southfield and the second is in Greektown, Detroit. I too think it is a good sign.
  • Five Guys restaurant will be opening a location in East Lansing in the former Take Two Authentics location on Grand River. They plan to start construction today and open in September.
  • I went by the Louis St. development today and noticed that they haven't made any real progress on the site in about a week or two. The two properties have been demolished and there is a large backhoe and a bulldozer on site. I hope that they haven't…
  • Here's an update on the progress: They've been doing work on the foundation walls. Here is a closer shot from 7/16/2010: The last picture is from the construction website.
  • Thanks for the post j. My family and I like to bike to Eastwood Towne Center, and we have to cross that overpass. It is true that the overpass is one of the most potentially dangerous crossings in the region. I'm pretty sure that it is under stat…
  • @hood: I agree with you about nuclear being a great option, but I think that there will have to be a lot of work to change the public opinion about nuclear and its safety. I'm curious if property values are more adversely affected when a nuclear …
  • The Culvers was proposed for an outlot at the southeast corner of the Meijer property (Lake Lansing and Marfitt). The Meijer outlot that is in question has been proposed many times over for numerous projects such as gas stations and restaurants and …
