Starting today I have added ads to the side of the website beneath the sidebar on the full website view and on the mobile view between every other comment. These ads will help pay the bills for running the site, which I have paid out of my own pocke…

Oh okay, I guess I had forgotten that had been approved. The units on the ground floor are also nice as barrier free units. Even though the building has elevators, not having to ride one would be a lot nicer for someone who has reduced mobility.

I really like the idea of the fitness center in 300 West Grand River. DTN had been struggling to find a retail occupant and at one point I believe they requested to change over the retail to residential which got denied. Even though I'd like it to b…

Georgio's Pizza is now open, after closing for 2 years for construction of The Hub and then delaying their opening due to covid-19. This now means that the Hub has all storefronts occupied (the other being 7-11 which has been open for some time). EL…

I forgot to reply about the FitLot north of Rotary Park. That is really awesome to see. I hope that is just the start and we see more of these get put in neighborhood parks. It is great for providing a free exercise area as well as getting neighbors…

Wow that's really good digging you did there. Thanks for the background, I read up on those minutes you posted. I wonder how much he was charging for the cups of ice for it to be worth the trouble. I guess people also buy other things while at the s…

Wow that's a pretty sizable townhome development. Google Maps Streetview has some good pictures of it under construction from August 2019 as well as pictures that show the single house that was on the property before this. That transformation will s…

I am really happy with the choices that were made to fill the vacant council seats. The new members are well qualified and have plenty of community experience. I am also excited about the prospect of a larger city council. I hope that East Lansing c…

I saw on the planning commission agenda that a Walgreens is planning to locate in the Abbot.

I was just reading their reporting. Wow this is a major change. Good to see the contract is still in place until October which will give enough time to properly bid this out.

Yeah, if a large majority of students decide to do a "skip year", we may see other landlords decide now is the time to tear down and rebuild bigger. Previously that would have meant they would lose 1-2 years of rental income and the math didn't work…

Actually the lease was just renewed, https://eastlansinginfo.news/with-the-public-ramps-bleeding-money-city-eliminates-free-2-hour-parking-downtown/ https://cityofeastlansing.civicweb.net/document/31290/Approve a lease agreement between the C…

Yeah I agree though there are still a few landowners that already have large assemblies. Most of the SBS block is owned by a single owner, and I think Metzger owns Peanut Barrell to Campus Town Mall. The lot behind Peanut Barrell is privately owned …

This is great and I'm so happy to see them move forward with 7 stories. It's been well overdue to have MSUFCU locate offices downtown. I would love to see Vertafore and First National Bank move offices downtown, both are currently located near Abbot…

I agree. It's exactly what the Frandor area should be moving away from. With all of the land dug up to make the waterways, they could build a second hill to rival Frandor hill.

Here's the picture from the agenda showing the sea of parking in the southeast. This really needs to be stopped. When I look at it all I see is leveling of ground for a future building. Is this amount of parking required by code? Can that be reduced…

It sounded to me like the city negotiated the deal and it was easier to build it on city land so the city could collect lease payments. If the price was right I'm sure the casino could have found a parking lot owner who would have sold. With the shu…

This was probably foreseeable by most but the casino is now officially canceled, https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2020/04/06/kewadin-casino-lansing-wayne-county-lawsuit-sault-ste-marie-chippewa/2863225001/

Yeah I can see why this is a good time with less cars on the road, as well as we need the roads to be in good condition for transporting of medical supplies. But it's also a good time to be extra cautious and prevent injuries that would increase dem…

Why is freeway construction considered an essential service right now? I'm surprised this construction is still proceeding.
