  • 615' Dang! That's pretty impressive. Thanks for fact-checking (they still feel like 1,300')
  • As an interim thing, the towers should be lit up at night with subtle color tones - purple for breast-cancer awareness month, green-and-white for big game days, etc.
  • All the ideas floated above sound amazing. St. Louis has it's arch. We have our 1,000'-high smokestacks. (......but we also have a beautiful capital building and one of the best skyscrapers in the midwest in the Boji Tower!!!)
  • And here are the links for the full listing of awards, statewide. Definitely some great stuff that the DNR is funding. Detroit got a huge $3M for a much needed easement along the water around the Riverfront Towers that will allow a boardwalk to run …
  • The following is pulled from the MDNR website.....showing this year's grants awarded to our region (announced in December '18): It's worth noting that these are matching grants, so the City or County is putting money in too, making these larger f…
  • btw, don't count on an architect's website for status updates on a project, this looks to me more like a promotional tool for their company. That said, they seem like a pretty good firm and I do take some comfort that out-of-town designers are invol…
  • Tear down Dunhams and build this at that site.....it would be ten times more cost effective. This architecture is blah, at best. You guys are missing the point by talking about architecture 'style'.....that part is trivial compared to the building m…
  • Jared, I agree 100% Here's a situation where they should definitely tunnel it under the existing amenities. They better not try to tear up that beautiful softball field either. Or the handball courts.
  • Haha, not trying to be too irreverent.... Real question: is any of the drain work moving forward with the Red Cedar/Frandor project site? I was under the impression (or maybe just hoping) that some of the Drain Commissioner's work was going to ha…
  • ...and Grache's masterplan
  • start getting excited for my plan instead!!!
  • there's not gonna be a Red Cedar start
  • I'm with you. Can't they run it into the stream or into Hawk Lake (shouldn't this man made lake also drain into the stream?)
  • Ooof, this is really sad. Sounds like it was a young man (25) with a big heart -- a very positive person from the looks of his facebook page. Really tragic for those involved with this place. I'm sorry if any of you knew this guy or the people runni…
  • Wow! What a cool project! This is the kind of thing that will make Lansing unique. Definitely a gorgeous building. I don't quite understand how the basement unit will be feasible? I would say that this stretches Old Town's reach further northwest…
  • I love the ferris wheel idea! And I think you're right that with intentional programming this project could and WILL be a success. I'd like to see it succeed so that the funders continue giving money for projects like this. The steps to the water…
  • Mich - these are beautiful photos (you should submit to the city for PR purposes). These events look fun, but wouldn't this permanent installation actually preclude gatherings like this from happening, in terms of space it would be taking up? I w…
  • Jeez! I spent two hours of my day writing on here and cross-checking stuff on google-maps -- you better believe this is thoughtful! Btw, this ranting was me procrastinating on an application that I finally submitted today
  • Perhaps off the rails a little I do not want Friedland to go out of business (my grandpa was in the scrapping industry so I respect that business). The villain term was way over the top, I admit ....definitely did not mean for that to be taken too …
