Mt Hope Cemetery is the highest point in the city, oddly enough.

Thanks GB, I'm a little sensitive about the issue. The Mission was founded by the Doltons in 1911, rented space on Michigan Avenue and purchased the building at 611 Michigan Avenue in 1948. My Mom's best friend was a granddaughter of the Doltons an…

Yeah, let's hide the homeless and less fortunate. Certainly wouldn't want visitors to think that we have homeless and indigent people in Lansing of all places! We should tuck them away, lest someone think poorly about our glistening city. Sorry, t…

No worries. I appreciate having the site available.

They demolished the part of the structure that was over Grand Ave when they did the AF Construction, hence we were left with a stairwell to nowhere.

It's the gas station that is currently Admiral/Marathon at K'zoo and Clippert. My older brother worked there while in high school.

I've known the owner Yvonne for more than 20 years. We co-taught Quaker kids for years. It's heartbreaking to see the Gateway along with her other business Go Green Trikes in utter shambles. I knew John from the Buddhist community, at another poi…

It's my friend Yvonne's building now. It will house her company "Go Green Trikes" as well as the small business embryo. She's quite the community builder.

I think that if Schuler's opens a new location to replace Eastwood it would more likely be in West Lansing/ Delta Twp or South Lansing/ Delhi. From what I know from a few of their employees, there are no concrete plans yet. Downtown isn't too feasi…

Great news about the Walter French Building! https://www.capitalareahousing.org/properties

Marscot is off Miller Rd, between Pennsylvania and Aurelius

Correct, MichMatters. Walter and his wife had two grandsons, Mark and Scott and that's how the SE Lansing development got the name, 'Marscot'. On another historical note, Walter Neller also founded 'Lansing Civic Players'.

I think they may have added another floor in the intervening years. State Theater was behind the larger building on Abbot.

Yup!

Found this article on the building. Might be what it originally looked like? http://kevinforsyth.net/ELMI/state-theatre.htm

I haven't had that problem.

That's impressive, David!
