The City Pulse has an article about how Joel Ferguson, landlord of the Vistor's Bureau's old location, lost to Pat Gillespie. In a letter sent to the City Pulse, Ferguson laid out reasons for them to stay in Old Town. The first is cost, and his es…

The LSJ is reporting today that the City Market will have traditional 90-degree parking spaces like those seen on Washington Ave after there were too many complaints. The spaces were meant to be safer for drivers pulling out as they can just pull fo…

Not that I know of. From the Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 22, 2008: George Brookover, 1005 Abbot Road, representing Community Resource Management, addressed the Commission. He gave reassurance that the request is not part of some overall…

At yesterday's City Council meeting, the city approved the request from Community Resource Management to rezone ~3.8 acres of land along Louis St, Michigan Ave, Delta St, and Elm Place to RM-54 (High-density, 54 two-bedroom units per acre). Most of …

The City of Lansing's economic development forum was on Wednesday. There is an article in the LSJ. They highlight the $550 million dollar FRIB research center at MSU, IBM's move to MSU, and Accident Fund's relocation to the Ottawa Power Plant.

There is an update on the Silver Dollar site. It cost $200,000 to demolish, including an unexpected $130,000 for asbestos cleanup. There was no mention of what might be coming in the location, except that the Land Bank is looking to sell the site. …

The IBM building in downtown Lansing is primarily for government and corporate sales, not a research and development office like the one proposed for MSU's campus.

@schurymi, micro said in a post on the General Lansing Development thread: Recently Capitol Pharmacy changed owners and is now owned by a husband/wife partner. It is no longer a pharmacy and they are trying to build it up as more of a grocery stor…

It also could be a real nice location for a large grocery store. If the LSD can pull a Meijer or a Kroger downtown, I think prospective residents would make the move. It's nice to hear about the small grocery store on Washington Ave, and a prospecti…

Some of these posts seem to have gotten out of hand. This is for discussions about developments in the Lansing area, not a place for people to argue.

There is a proposal to build new multiple-student and multiple-family homes on the 3.8 acres that was just recently rezoned to RM-54 (54 two bedroom units per acre). Oddly enough, it's being called the Delta Township proposal, probably because that …

I don't think IBM was attracted to MSU because of FRIB, although it doesn't hurt. They are in two very different industries. What does probably attract IBM is that MSU has one of the nations top (if not the best) Supply Chain school and and also the…

Of course it would be positive for the area. Jobs are always positive for the area. From what has been said, the jobs would be working with the batteries that will go in the new electric cars, but the batteries won't be made here in Michigan. That m…

IBM will be bringing jobs to East Lansing They will be occupying one of the floors of the old MSU Credit Union Headquarters on Crescent Road. The office will employ computer scientists and people with supply chain backgrounds. Information techn…

It's a poor use of a thread. There is an off-topic category. Single threads can exist within this category and shouldn't be so broad.

I don't think this is the right place to look for homicides for those cities. Please keep these discussions about Lansing. I don't think there are any cities that are like New York but have the footprint of Lansing. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Thanks LMich. I didn't know that before.

That's true, and Eastwood and Frandor both are in Lansing Township. East Lansing, like Lansing, doesn't have any malls.
-
I don't think that's true Coolbrezze. There are businesses hurting everywhere with the economic slowdown. Lansing is thriving and doing quite well. If the Lansing Mall didn't exist there are plenty of other stores that people can shop at.

I took this picture a couple weeks ago but just got to stitching it together. It's the wall on the side of Shanora's Wigs and General Merchandise at 829 W. Saginaw St. Here's a link to a high quality version [208 kb]. There was an article on…
