  • I wonder what this will be? I was always convinced he'd tear down this non-descript old building. Kind of glad to see him repurpose even the less spectacular stuff, though, I'd like to see him develop on all of the empty lots. Anyway, good seeing…
  • The city's public service department posted this photo today of the complete worked on Cesar Chavez/Grand River: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EC6359WX4AImjfy.png
  • Jared, thanks for all of your hard work. The tweaks have definitely been improvements, and I'm starting to get the hang of adding pictures, quoting, etc.
  • LSJ has a story this morning of some businesses moving to South Lansing: Panera Bread, Five Below and Stock & Field prepare to open within weeks in south Lansing LANSING — Three new businesses are headed to southeast Lansing to the shopping area…
  • MDOT posted this old photo about two weeks ago looking at South Cedar Street in 1947: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBdFNepX4AM93Ov.jpg There is only one significant hill on the street, and slopes down from Paris to Holmes. So we are looking from ea…

  • It's weird, when I was younger, my family used to get furniture from Park's Furniture. I've been baffled for years how one of the few occupied spaces along that stretch of road looks nearly abandoned from the street, and how they were allowed to ge…
  • Someone has been fixing up two old buildings at 909 and 913 West Saginaw, recently. They are both owned by a guy in Laingsburg. I don't see any projects listed for these historic buildings, but he'd been painting them and fixing windows and such. …

  • Looking at the agenda for the Planning & Development Committee for next week and the minutes from their last meeting we learn that... They recommeded approval for the rezoning of the land annexed into the city at the northwest corner of Waverly …
  • Well, this was unexpected, but I'm not really mad. The DDA voted tonight to end its exclusive purchase and sale agreement with Royal Vlahakis after they attempted to ask for another extension before the meeting, and will instead put out an RFP for …
  • LAN, this is a resurfacing, not a street reconstruction or reconfiguration. In any case, it's only a three-lane road with two parking lanes. When it goes two-way next year it's going to feel even tighter. The ordinance is also a rather weak one, …
  • From the Planning Commissions Sept 11 meeting: A public hearing for a lot split and a site plan & special use permit for 3225 West Road in the northern Tier. A developer is seeking to build a 4-story, 107-room hotel, and a 4,015 sq ft marijuana…

  • The city has tried to get Lansing Township to get more regionally for years to no avail. They've tried that. Before I mentioned the annexation thing, I'd mentioned the attempt for years to get Lansing Township to put in a sidewalk on the eastside …
  • It was the 60's; I think you can guess why it stopped working. BTW, school districts existed outside the city limits; though I imagine being a city Lansing's was regularly the most modern as opposed to the rural districts. I'd imagine if Lansing u…
  • To be clear, Lansing Township existed before the city did. The township was organized in 1842, even before the area was even chosen as the capital; Lansing wouldn't even exist until 1859. I'd like to see the parts of it on the east side annexed o…
