  • I updated the main page and hood is going to be helping me update the project pages.
  • Good news. It's nice to hear of another association moving to downtown Lansing where it probably should have been for a long time. The proximity to politics, what they are in the business of, will help them and others who decide to move to Lansing.
  • Wow that is a large building. Those wind generators in Ann Arbor look pretty cool.
  • That would be really cool about the wind generators on high-rises. It seems like the biggest hurdle would be air-rights to make sure that no adjacent properties can build taller and block the view of the wind turbine. I like that the BWL is putti…
  • Big Ten Burrito isn't in the Taco Bell building. Big Ten Burrito was located next to the Starbucks at the corner of Grand River and Charles. Taco Bell is located at Grand River and Bailey. I think there will be something coming for the lot of the…
  • New restaurant to occupy BTB location ... Gunn, who co-owns Brother’s Grill with his wife Michelle, an MSU employee, said there will be a variety of food including soups, sandwiches, salads and possibly breakfast. There also will be a complete ove…
  • I didn't know about the Lou and Harry's moving. I read that the Baskin Robbins next door has been hurting ever since the university opened up the cafe on Sundays and keeps it open until midnight every night.
  • MSU has requested $20 million for expansion on the new Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute in West Fee Hall. I'm not sure if this will call for external expansion or just a remodeling.
  • Big Ten Burrito in East Lansing has closed. The franchise owners said that they couldn't find a buyer and are leaving the state after they graduate in May.
  • I heard that the Blue Cross Blue Shield at Lake Lansing and Coolidge Ave has been sold. It has been closed down now for a while since BCBS has consolidated and moved operations to Creyts Rd. I heard that a strip mall will be going in to the locat…
  • That's a smart move to swap out the plywood. Once they put up plywood they need to put up scaffolding pretty quick to avoid the look of an abandoned building.
  • The developers want to convert the third and fourth floors of the building to rentals from condominiums. It will be brought before the council at it's Tuesday meeting. I don't think the condominiums have been selling as fast as they had thought, and…
  • That is really cool. They could probably pull out their new trip planner and replace it with the google one.
  • That might be one of the reasons why it is under construction right now, but my guess is that it has been planned for a while. If they get FRIB, then there will probably be even more construction.
  • Steel is starting to rise at the Cyclotron. They have what looks like the second floor steel up on the extension further back from Shaw.
  • There is now a large banner on the parking deck with a rendering of the Tower and the windows on the first floor of the Lansing City Club have been boarded up.
  • The Capitol Club Tower will be having a rooftop party during Silver Bells on top of the parking deck. I expect that they are moving forward with it. The windows on the first floor of the city club are all boarded up.
  • The CATA vote was important on so many levels. I am glad to see that it passed, since I am a part time bus rider and there are many who require the bus system to get around.
  • Here is a street view of 208 - 222 Beal Street:
  • On Wednesday's city council meeting: Set public hearing for December 2, 2008; Ordinance No. 1199; a request from Community Resource Management Company to rezone approximately 3.8 acres of land along Louis Street, Michigan Avenue, Delta Street, and…
