@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…

Yes, I'm glad they have plans for it. I just worry they're going to ruin original features that remain. That auditorium is near original, architecturally. It's slated for renovation. I don't expect them to do a historical renovation of the space…

I hadn't been inside for probably 20+ years. Given its age, it's really held up well. I just hope upcoming projects don't completely remove the historical aspects that have managed to survive for so many years. I'll post something on here if …

I wish I'd thought to post here sooner to bring attention to others, but the Westside Neighborhood Association (WNA) put on a walking tour of Sexton today, which was absolutely wonderful. It sounds like they want to have additional tours, focused o…

I was trying to remember where the local DZs were! It was always such a reward to go there haha. I noticed this construction as well. It looked like they were breaking it up into a strip mall that would face Clippert. I'd be curious if they …

I'll believe it when I see it. Even if it does happen, it will never look like that. It will be the cheapest, most scaled back building. He'll probably try to make it a pole barn (you probably laugh, but that was a thing for awhile that killed pr…
-
I drive by this pretty regularly. It did move fast after several stalls. I figured it was a design build project based on how it it was progressing and how unprofessional/sporatic the whole renovation was. I've got to admit, it turned out better …
-
Yes, I think that's something we can all agree on. It's great to see something so significant and so many buildings actually happening. I just hope it isn't scaled back!

Gary Granger has been "planning" something there for over a decade at least. And not just an idea, he's met with the city several times with idea after idea. It's never going to happen, unless someone else pays for it. He wants the city to pay fo…

I figured that had to exist already, just hadn't had the time to check. Thanks!

Wow, you really put some thought into that Mao, city wide! Definitely a lot I hadn't thought of on there. I think there are a decent amount of these that are already historic sites, but it would be interesting to go over a map of those with what y…

Completely agree. I would have to agree, also, that this would be in danger. I don't think many realize what was there before all the addiitons. While not some masterpiece, it's still interesting and significant for the area. There has been reus…
