Say - are the rents for restaurant space downtown just too high? Was just thinking there are places on the Washington Square strip that I'm pretty sure have been vacant the entire 5.5 years I've worked at LCC. There's no need for that - there IS d…

LEAP would like y'all's input: https://pennycontest2017.ourcommunity.org

As part of my continuing crusade to get some more crosswalks on Michigan Avenue west of Harrison, I emailed the SkyVue development today to suggest THEY ask the city / MiDOT for some more crosswalks. Received the following reply: "Thank you for …

Say, anybody know who'd I'd contact at MSU about the need for more crosswalks west of Harrison on Michigan Ave? I'd guess at least a couple hundred people cross there everyday, more will once Skyvue is done, it's absurd there are no crosswalks. I'…

Gotta say the rents for places in Lansing often make no sense to me. The city is not all that dense. Very often it seems like you could get a far larger home in only a slightly (and I just mean a couple blocks) less convenient location for the sam…

I should mention too that, even on Christmas Eve, there was a decent amount of pedestrian traffic - and I don't mean people walking from their car to a shop, but wandering around, enjoy the parks which were all decorated. It was nice.

Wanted to mention, I was recently in Cincinnati, OH, and was quite impressed by this development: http://www.liberty-center.com/directorymap . Think Eastwood in the sense that it was all designed by a single developer, but they did a stupendous job…

Sounds like an advertisement for Uber.

Incidentally, we got a letter from LEAP about the Under-the-Bridge project, which is now moving forward. Struck me, though, that apparently part of the issue was that it will be in Lansing Township, and apparently the Township was unwilling to main…

In East Lansing, not Lansing, but I have emailed or tweeted several times now trying to tell the city and state DOT (which actually owns the road) how badly a crosswalk is needed near Kensington on Michigan Ave especially, and in spots between Harri…

Here here on slowing the roads, friend.

Our one visit to Sacco's, did not like. Played the music extremely loudly, couldn't hear people at your table. Eh.

Wouldn't surprise me, but Aramark is all over the place, it is by no means just a prison food company, it is huge. 270,000 employees per Wikipedia.

Building.

I don't know. Frandor is a popular stop. It's also clear that that crawl into and out of Frandor is going to put a significant dent in the "Rapid" part of "Rapid Transit". Personally I think I'd rather just have a stop on Michigan Ave - WITH a we…

Walked behind the development today, looks nice, note the underground parking entrance at right. Building looks bigger than it really is from the front, you think it's a square, when it's really just an L.

Workforce housing is housing aimed at people making 60-120% of median income.

Rendering of the SkyVue courtyard on their FB page. And 47 likes! Future tenants, I wonder?

I definitely don't like the whole sense that keeping Michigan Avenue in a proper state of repair should be a special project! It is to the city's great shame that they cannot keep perhaps the major road of the city in proper repair with normal moni…

Are we talking about the old water tower (I think) that is part of the Gannon Building? Yes, I have no idea why that was ever part of the building either... not sure how old that building is, but I didn't think it was that old.
