Oh, you've misunderstood. I was saying that the current configuration of MLK uses the old Birch Street right-of-way north of the river for a few blocks. You can see this as it as the southbound lanes lines up with Birch south of the river. I'd never…

Okay, looked through some old Sanborn Maps since I knew the church had been there for awhile. As soon as I saw the name I put my face in my palm. OF COURSE it was Friendship Baptist; they are now down on Pleasant Grove in one of those megachurch bui…

I was going to say that I remember it being a black congregation. I'd attended Union Missionary Baptist Church just a few blocks north that survived the decimation 496 brought to the area, and kind of vaguely remember the two churches being friendly…

Which corner was your dad's station on, GB? Right now, there is a station at the southeast corner, of course. I'm wondering whether it was in the footprint of the freeway? BTW, there was a church that stood for years afterwards down the block at …

Good point. I forget whether TechSmith is buying the land or leasing it from the Foundation. The former would place them under city jurisdiction, the latter wouldn't.

Yeah, it's a really simple mid-century modernist design. Here is an old office building in Muskegon that loosk very similar, yet dates from the 50's or 60's: And Flint City Hall completed in 1958:

Apparently, this first hit city staff in March 2020, when the company was going to do a presentation for them, but this is literally around the time of the shutdown order so the meeting was cancelled. Maybe that same month or slightly later TechSmit…

Dbusiness had an article on this one, yesterday, I see: Officials recently broke ground for the 62,500-square-foot, two-story building near the Michigan State University campus. Meh. Glad they are staying in the area, though.

TechSmith's official groundbreaking was a few days ago: https://twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/status/1410210280039141378 Do we have any renderings of this one?

Yes, this is part of the drain commissioner's project: https://cms3.revize.com/revize/inghamcounty/Department/Drains/Documents/20210625 Press Release-Michigan Ave Tree Removal.pdf For the trees that are removed from these median area…

I was looking through some recent township board agendas for DeWitt Township since they are about to transfer 34 acres to the city for the expansion of Emergent BioSolutions, and found this rather large project planned in the township. Planned to be…

It's supposed to be Magic, I'm pretty sure. But, yeah, until you get close on it, it seems like a piece of art that's probably going to be misread.

I was just trying to remember what this lot looked like. It wasn't THAT long ago, but I never took any pictures, except when the first steel went up. There was never really any reason to take pictures of the parking lot. lol https://twitter.com/G…

Noticed this driving by this evening. I can't remember if they already have a tenant or not, though I can't imagine GG putting money into if they didn't. https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/status/1405532097427558404

Had to go look something up about McLaren and they mentioned the garage last month: Construction of a four-level parking deck at the new hospital is scheduled to be completed this fall. The structure will include 654 parking spots, as well a…
