  • Data centers are usually placed away from busy areas in order to be more secure.
  • They have been talking about this for a while now. Last I heard they were looking at a site on Mt Hope near the Tennis Center. I'm glad it finally got done though. I think Crescent Rd will be a good location for it. Much better than in the Computer…
  • I love this idea! It's already way more busy than I ever expected. I'd love to see it busy year-round.
  • My wife actually asked them about that when we were in there last. It sounds like they were disappointed that there was originally stuff in the plan for bicycles that was removed. If I remember right they were disappointed by how much money was bein…
  • I've always wanted to see the utilities buried too. It would be expensive, but I feel that the money saved from outages would more than make up from it in the end. I also think that it looks horrible having wires everywhere so that's another reason …
  • The property in the tech park is owned by the MSU Foundation. I found that out by accident last week. There's a sign in front of 4000 Collins Rd saying that MSU Foundation is moving there from the north side of the tech park. Living as close as I do…
  • I hadn't noticed any more work on the new Fiat store that Snethkamp was supposed to be building and I think I know why now. It turns out they sold the Lansing store and as of June 1st it is now LaFontaine Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Lansing. Not sure…
  • That Trowbridge QD building is horrible. It's too small and the only time I ever saw it busy was when people would walk across from the old train station. Hopefully they will rebuild in the area.
  • So after leaving Lowe's this morning I noticed a developer's sign in front of the old Bonanza/Ponderosa Steakhouse on Cedar just south of I-96. It mentioned "Join Starbucks" on the top so I looked them up online and was able to find plans to replac…
  • Drove by this morning and noticed that the trees around the are mostly cut down. Sad to see them go as some are pretty large, but it's definitely a sign of progress!
  • Any idea what the restaurant bring built directly north of Culver's is going to be? I can't find anything on it. I didn't see any signs up around it. The only thing I've been able to find is a mention of a contemporary Mexican restaurant in this art…
  • So I was driving by the old Dykstra Ford/Metro Ford building on MLK and Holmes the other night and it hit me as I passed it that there were lights on inside the building and what I thought was scaffolding. I tried to see if there was still a For Sal…
  • It sounds like TCBA has been pushing for the Saginaw extension and I think something on Oakland also. Curb-protected bike lanes would be awesome. I've seen them in other cities and they look great. Makes me jealous. They are still relatively new so …
  • So I found this proposal from the TCBA that would create a bicycle link between Downtown Lansing and Frandor. It wouls branch off the River Trail near Shiawassee and run north of Michigan on mostly residential streets until it reaches the west side …
  • I'm pretty sure that it was there when I moved to the south side in 03. I don't remember for sure though.
  • This is a small thing, but the burned-out former medical office on the west side of Aurelius about halfway between Forest and Cavanaugh has been torn down. It happened sometime in the last couple days. Not sure if they are doing anything with that p…
  • Bill Snethkamp already added Chrysler and Jeep to their Pennsylvania store when they closed their Mason store. Evidently Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on West Saginaw was fighting the addition of those franchises so close to them. That will be ni…
  • I don't remember seeing anything on it but that isn't too strange. I'm surprised that GM is letting them keep the old facade. They are pretty strict when it comes to their image standards. Even Terry Hanks wasn't able to avoid renovating.
  • They have now updated the project name. It's officially called 1855 Place. I'm looking forward to this being completed. I previously read that they would be moving Residential and Hospitality Services here, but I didn't know that they would be movin…
  • Kind of a small thing, but I noticed yesterday that Feldman Chevy is tearing down the old brick building on the corner of Michigan & Howard. Don't know if that corner will be empty or if something will be rebuilt. There are signs all around it t…
