  • Yet they're the ones who want to sue the LGBTQ homeless organizations for descrimination. If they weren't so actively promoting hate, that would be one thing. They are the ones who have started stirring the pot. Almost any article that dire…
  • The shelter does look nice, I just wish it weren't The Mission.
  • Yes, I've noticed the overall increase in the take over of public spaces. Likely a sign that we need more resources for them, but I wish we could do better than The Mission. The population in Lansing do seem to be less aggressive than places like …
  • I'm personally not a fan of the Mission's goals in general. They don't care so much as helping the homeless as they do "helping them find God" above all. The director has been quoted saying pretty much that in more than one article. If they're go…
  • We will have to agree to disagree in some aspects lol. I think my problem is that it's one developer for all of them. It feels forced. Had this been developed appropriately over the years, I think I'd be okay with more independent elevations.…
  • I don't really care for hoe they're trying to break up the buildings so much. It looks too busy and too forced. This doesn't need to read as so many distinct storefronts. At least it will be an improvement over what was there, assuming they can f…
  • The EL Caines, unfortunately, isn't that great, from my couple of visits. I often go when I'm visiting family in Ohio. Those locations, the chicken is so fresh, juicy and hot...and the sauce is amazing. They're the typical fast food venue though …
  • @hood, I've thought the same. I need to be less pessimistic about this project. Coming back from some time out of town always has me very judgemental of our local developments lol. I just also hate to be in the "well it's decent...for Lansing" gr…
  • Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything more for that corner but I'm always a little hopeful for something more. Not even high end, just something new. I guess I'm amazed it's even profitable to have so many liquor/lotto places so close to one another. …
  • I know this has been brought up before, not sure if anyone has been by recently but looks like they have tenants. More liquor stores and chicken. Corner of Kzoo and Penn... I can't say I'm surprised. I'd been betting with people that it's go…
  • Still not that impressed by it and not thrilled it's just Hobbs+Black, but I have to remind myself it's still a significant and exciting project for Lansing. At least it's moving forward. It will be 4 medicore H+B projects in a row on the Gran…
  • @MichMatters, I know what Granger said but as I've said too many times, I can't take them on their word...I know him too well. It's going to look a lot nice in those renderings than what it ends up. Only way it's going to even happen with him is i…
  • I was trying to figure that one out with the placement of Boji in the background. I figured we had to be looking along Grand at the Bus Station. Intersting, thanks for that info. I hope so too, but I'm not counting on it. It's likely going t…
  • Amazing how much better it looks just having storefronts and tenants! I found that photo interesting because I remember seeing this one. I think its original use was a bus station. I didn't realize it had a life in between that and Walter Neller.…
  • Probably just another failure brought to you by Schor... I've been surprised how long that site has just sat, fenced off. If only he could've gotten this pushed through as quickly as he did that shitty excuse for a City Hall.
  • Yeah...I was thinking of all the eras and areas I'd like to explore...I feel myself already losing productivity during work hours tomorrow haha! So cool though. I knew aerials have been around for a long time but never knew an easy way to acce…
  • That's the hangar, it's not a maintenance building for the village. It's entirely fenced off from the village. That is what I was talking about though. I was able to locate the old house that's closer to the road with the 1981 aerial and tr…
  • These were just past the Village at Chandler Crossings. There's a retention pond, many newer pole barns and an older silver hangar that appeara as a white roof. It's hard to tell what it is from the aerials. Looking at the aerials, it's to the ea…
  • There's actually still at least one of the hangars still out there from the airport. I know one of the guys that owns what remains of the property. I used to spend a decent amount of time out there.
  • @gbdinlansing, you summed up a lot of wonderful features that stuck with a lot of people after attending Sexton. You actually may have been there in the same years as my aunt, but I know class sizes were pretty large back then! You'd never see a s…
