  • I don't believe the Lansing or East Lansing numbers. For someone whose lived here since the 90's, the different between the 2000-2010 period and the 2010-2020 period is night and day. Just way too much construction and not having seen enough hemorra…
  • The corner party/grocery store that's been under construction at the SW corner of MLK & Allegan for seemingly ever has finally gotten it's signage up. Looks nice for what it is. This section of MLK is definitely starved for nearby/walkable neigh…
  • Yep, definitely part of the sewer project. Was by there today and noticed deep digging in the Frandor parking lot with some interceptor sewer components. I do remember now that part of the project was to rebuild the drain under the parking lot as th…
  • Can't quite remember if this rendering was ever posted, or at least at this size, but here's looking down the main street:
  • No, the Mason Esker is a bit further west in Lansing; the esker takes a mild northwesterly course from Mason-ish.
  • Well, the main pipes run under the east side of the parking lot, so I've figured there would be some construction within Frandor, but I don't really know.
  • Yes, Aurelius is a total road and bridge reconstruction. Looks like the drain project work on Clippert is done, but now Homer seems to be closed off right near where the northbound US-127 ramp meets the street. Work is still being done in the par…
  • A concept Gillespie Group is marketing for 300 N. Larch. https://twitter.com/GillespieGrp/status/1419708877344550915 One thing I do appreciate about them is that they market their smaller properties, and in a way that's realistic, instead of…

  • I'd forgotten about this one, but glad to hear that it's moving forward: Old school building gets new life LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - After nearly a decade of sitting vacant, a former Lansing school is getting a makeover. Otto Middle School will…
  • Edit: Just realized I was disoriented. This is the senior apartments BEHIND the market rate apartments on Michigan Avenue. I drove up Clippert today, and saw that this wasn't the corner.
  • I think this is the market-rate apartments? https://twitter.com/redcedarproject/status/1418317566985097216
  • Nonprofit proposes consolidating services at McLaren's Greenlawn site after new hospital is done LANSING – A Lansing nonprofit serving at-risk children and families has its eyes on parts of the soon-to-be vacant McLaren Greater Lansing campus. …
  • The architects for the Gannon Ramp replacement at LCC have a webpage of the project up. July 7th Renderings: A reminder, this will go from 979 spaces in three stories to 1,777 spaces in five stories, but within the existing foot…
  • Guess MSUFCU and its neighbor finally got their issues worked out. lol https://twitter.com/CityofEL/status/1415069211349725189
  • 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 …
