  • Hood, I've made the changes that you requested. What do you think of them? The blog has been moved to another section of the website, allowing me a little more freedom to use it more as a blog and not as the first content that visitors may recei…
  • The Land Bank owns the Dollar nightclub in East Lansing and is looking for a developer for the site. I'm hoping to see a good mixed-use building come in.

  • As the first block to be reopened, the 100 block of Washington parking stays pretty busy, but I think these 2 new blocks will show the emptyness after 5:00, especially in the parking. But maybe, as it gets closer to LCC, the parking will be used by…
  • There were quite a few articles about Sparrow in the paper. It was interesting to see some of the old photographs of Sparrow through the years.
  • On July 11, the Planning Commission is set to hear a design proposal from Meijer for a gas station and convenience store at the corner of Lake Lansing and Merrit Roads. The convenience store would have a "green" roof, and will be about 3,500 sq ft.
  • I saw it when I was riding my bike near the Stadium District. I think it is used by the dive team, which is shared between East Lansing and Lansing.
  • Here you go LMich: Beyond the built-up units stretches a pre-apocalyptic vision. Eerily empty streets, complete with light poles and utility hookups, await tenants — and houses. “I have no problems with development, but the development shouldn…
  • I learned more about the City Center II from the City Pulse article that was posted today: “We fully expect to be in the site plan review process by this fall,” Jim van Ravensway said. Is the museum in or out? “I really want to answer that qu…
  • A college town builds a year-round downtown From the City Pulse It's a pretty good read, and another thing that makes it nice is you can find input from myself at the bottom.
  • I go by the Hamptons site a couple times a week, and they look to have finished basic site prep work. I looked closer at the rendering on-site, and it appears they will be building it in the same style as Gaslight Village, with the entrance in the …
  • No, that is Peoples Church's lot, but maybe they have worked something out with the city because the site plan shows a parking ramp behind the Peoples Church.
  • Here's links to the pages about the two theaters: State Theater Campus Theater
  • They said 9,000 people showed up for the chili cookout, myself included. The rivertrail was packed, and there was little room to move near some of the vendors. It would have been nice to see Lansing close down Washington Sq like they are doing for…
  • I guess there is a terrible over extension of utilities near Eastwood, where the limit on sewers has stopped further expansion north. Here is a midday update from the LSJ about it: Sewer issue stalls Eastwood area expansion plan I usually like …
  • Yeah, a green roof is news to me also. Thanks for the info jwswrites. I think we'll see more green buildings coming as there are many tax breaks for building LEED approved buildings, and also it attracts the type of people (younger, artsy) that th…
  • Here is a link to an LSJ story today: Surface lots in East Lansing open for new units They also mention the opening of Lot 1 for development (although this isn't the first time East Lansing has tried to get the lot developed).
  • Yeah it is the parking lot behind Stonehouse Village 1, across the street from the outlined parking lot.
  • The building that the art studio moved in to isn't being planned for demolition. They moved a couple blocks east to Charles St.
  • I just found a new picture from the Strathmore site about the City Center 2 project! It looks pretty expansive, and I am still trying to comprehend how large this development would be. Here is the picture, and I've typed out the legend since it's …
  • Or you could visit a couple places in downtown East Lansing where Arialink has free wi-fi setup.
