Agreed! Interesting, have to look into Ft Worth. Reuter Park really should be one of the greatest urban spaces in the state of MI. It has so much going for it. I think it will become very special within the next ten years.

I remember hearing about that art piece being controversial and a waste of money (in the grand scheme I cannot understand why people are such tightwads about money.....it's just made up anyways, right?). But some little known history is that the scu…

GBD, yeah the Washinton pedestrian mall was a weird thing. I spent a lot of time there in the late nineties/early 2000's skateboarding on those old fountains. Before the skatepark was built the plaza was the most likely place to meet other skateboar…

...for its preservation, I should say

City Hall is such a cool building. Totally a UN building I hope people appreciate it as much we should....and fight for it.

Does anyone know what the tan "new oulet (sic)" space is supposed to be?

The pocket park seems misappropriately named. Looks like more of a entry plaza for artwork or signage. I agree, no one will hang out here (unless there's a bus stop) so probably not worth investing that much in. Put some benches and tables out in th…

I used to go to the dentist out here and I would take MLK all the way from 496. This was always one of the most depressing sites along this stretch. What I never realized was how close this is to the more 'urban' stretch of S. Washington. This could…

This development at Holmes and MLK is fantastic! The stormwater work will have a major impact performance-wise and visually. Are there incentives for this? Or is the developer just fighting the good fight?

Thanks Hood. I've heard good things about Costco too. I just generally dislike big-box stores. But they are a reality and people love them so maybe it's foolish to try to fight that fight. In this instance, I'm afraid they will directly compete wi…
-
Hmmm. Okay, let me try to explain myself better -- "Costco sucks." This is me being angsty, callous, and (admittedly) immature. It is my gut reaction to Costco and is indeed how I feel. "Never been to one but I know it sucks." This is me discredi…

Lastly, calling someone else immature does not seem in line with the maturity you speak of on here.

Still stand behind the content of my comment though. If you have differing opinion I'd be happy to hear. Sometimes I like to present a more extreme take on something to elicit responses. I know that it's hard to gauge tone in online forums so someti…

I know you're mature, that's why you should be able to tell when I'm ranting. Didn't mean to offend anyone :)

One thing I don't get - where are the 12 other houses supposed to go? Seems like the immediate neighborhood is already chocked full of nice houses. I'd rather see old houses get rehabbed than torn down to build new.... Maybe I'm missing something?

Costco sucks. Never been to one but I know it sucks. It does seem to be a destination so I agree with Jared - having it near downtown Lansing would bring a lot of people to the core of the city. Anywhere else is just contributing to nasty sprawl, ba…

Wow! What a cool project. This is exactly what Lansing needs - totally hip and forward thinking, but also rooted in the Lansing/MI vernacular style. When going up the street in google street view you can get a good before and after image.

@gbinlansing The new builds on vacant lots that come to my mind are on Butler St just north of 496. There are about 6 or 7 if I remember. Built in the late nineties/early 2000s. I had the pleasure of being a teenage laborer on a few :) Rob Eschbach …

Looks pretty nice. View from that upper apartment is awesome! I really liked the old proposal for a 6-story building here - it would have actually showed up on the skyline - but I suppose this kind of mid-rise infill is the name of the game in Lansi…

Nothing on this site will ever live up to how amazing University Village was - in terms of layout, scale, atmosphere. I have so many great memories from those apartments and grounds.... I always hoped the old state police buildings would be preser…
