  • I've been slow to announce this, kind of waiting to see if anybody else would pick it up before me, but the City of East Lansing is looking in to installing four roundabouts on Lake Lansing Road by US-127. The roundabouts would be installed at: …
  • But it also looks like it could be the same building as the one next to it, given that they share the same decorative bricks at the top and the same recession about 2 feet from the roof.
  • I can't picture what building that is. That's over by the city rescue mission, right?
  • I've seen huge crowds of MSU students gathering by bus stops on Thursday nights in East Lansing waiting to take the CATA bus to the Lugnuts games for Thirsty Thursdays. I think with the combination of CATA buses used on campus and initiatives like …
  • Here is the news: Michigan State University will be the home of a new world-class art museum focusing on modern and contemporary art thanks to a gift of $26 million from philanthropist and MSU alumnus Eli Broad and his wife, Edythe. The museum…
  • I think that is for the MSU art museum, aka Kresge Art Museum, which is currently planning a move to Grand River across from the Student Services building. http://newsroom.msu.edu/site/indexer/3105/content.htm
  • Yep, it sure is. The LSJ also ran a story today about the progress of the West Village development, but nothing new that I saw in it. With all the utility work, I am hoping that they are planning to move power lines underground. I am surprised th…
  • I agree. I think they are also facing stiff competition from places like the northern tier and other new student housing developments.
  • Michigan State has announced plans to raise 34 buildings in Spartan Village at the end of the spring semester. 34 buildings is a lot, but there will still be quite a few buildings left. The utility lines will also be taken out along with the build…
  • The frame is finished on the rowhouses, and the siding and other exterior work should be coming pretty quick. The units look to be what I would call 2.5 stories tall, with two full floors and then a large pitched roof with windows, but there aren't…

  • The one thing that I don't like about it, is how Delta Township is bending over backwards to acommodate Auto-Owners. Delta Township sold 1/2 acre to them for $1, but more importantly, the township will pay $24,000 for sewer and water connections. …
  • Thanks LMich for the link. I had planned to replace my question with the actual link, but I hadn't had the time today to get around to it. Although this new building will also be sprawl, it is a good sign that they will be slow to move to Dewitt…
  • The LSJ articles specifically mentioned pushing back the move to DeWitt.
  • Auto-Owners has decided to push back the construction of the new corporate headquarters, and instead will pursue a new $45 million dollar data center 2 1/2 miles south of their current location, 496 and Creyts Rd. It is expected that 80 jobs will b…
  • I went by the Beaumont yesterday, and the region that hood yellow outlined is now complete, but it looks like they haven't even started to think about the rest of the development. I wonder if sales have been slow and that is what is keeping them fr…

  • The gas station and Pizza Hut on the corner of Abbott and Saginaw are currently being torn down to make way for a Rite-Aid. This project is moving pretty quick, as Pizza Hut moved out only a couple months ago. The Rite-Aid will have a drive up win…
  • The city council will vote Monday night to decide to sell the parking ramp.
  • (Scene) MetroSpace has opened up their new location on Charles St next to Georgio's. They have their first exhibit open in time for East Lansing's Art Festival this weekend. This means that City Center 2 has now been cleared of it's last tenant, a…
  • The house across the street, Theta Delta Chi's old fraternity house, has now been fully demolished, and the site of the house will be used as a staging area for the construction equipment and materials. Construction should start in mid-June.
  • Virginia Ave in the news again. It looks like the project will be scaled back to have 30 housing units: 16 homes and 14 townhouses. The project will likely be named "Avondale Square". More can be found at the State News website: http://www.stat…
