• Complete Hitch requested - and was granted - a vacation of a ROW behind the property back in September. The right-of-way was of LaBelle Street, which continued west past Edgewood, but was never developed as a street, of course. It actually seperat…

• So income is capped at $31k but rent is up to $830. Right, up to. 550 for that level of income for a single person isn't ridiculous.

• Check out this artistic depiction of the Capitol Park Motor Hotel in the 1960's. The motel portion was at the southwest corner of Capitol and Lenawee where the Michigan Catholic Conferences headquarters are today. To the right, you see the existin…

• More of the new CATA shelters are going up, I saw this one a few days ago on Cedar. Apparently, they are more than just shelters: https://twitter.com/RideCATA/status/1141370135556571136

• Another full view of the art installation on the North Grand garage from Downtown Lansing's twitter account: It is kind of crazy the change a little color can make to an environment.

• At next Monday's Development & Planning Committee, it looks like the owners of the Motor Wheels property are trying to restart the redevelopment of the partially redeveloped warehouse portion of the site. They are requesting an Obsolete Propert…

• Just drove by this one for the first time in months. Looks like they have most of the new windows in and they look really nice. They also seem to be floor-to-ceiling unlike the old windows so there is more glass. Would love to see them put out a n…

• All underground storage tanks have to be removed in Michigan, too, within a year of abandonment. Of course, I doubt the law (signed in '94) is retroactive. BTW, a new underground storage tank (UTS) cleanup fund was signed into law at the end of 20…
