Up up up.

Have had exactly that thought gbinlansing - there is actually, already, a ton of great stuff to do in Lansing, but it's all over the place. Put it in one spot and that would make one awesome downtown. Unfortunate that we have so many poles (with n…

As someone who lives in a nice neighborhood just about a mile from downtown - golly. At one point someone in the neighborhood pointed out that the city's master plan suggested four story buildings near the Harrison/Michigan intersection (hardly a c…

It's interesting because the bank used to fly "Don't Tread on Me" flags, and the front had a nice fountain with a large plaque with an extended Bible quote on it. Neither is especially controversial but I do wonder if they aren't in part seeking a …

Apparently when a tweet has more than one image things get funky. Let's try that again.

Some minor/major renovations happening at First National Bank of America. I say minor because it looks like they won't change the appearance of the building all that much. I say major because construction has already been going on for months.

Some stuff in the ground now.

Don't know - walking by it rather often as I do, it certainly looks like a call center. The biggest collection of cubicles you have ever seen, my friends.

I see, interesting photo. No there is still a Dunham's there, that's why I was confused, but the building doesn't look like that. And "Inovalon", which is probably the "tech center" you're thinking of, is right next door. If Dunham's used to occu…

So this is kind of a random question, but it's development related so I'll risk it - what happened to the McDonald's in Frandor? Used to be a fine place, one of my former students managed there, so I enjoyed seeing her when I dropped in. Then it g…

I just meant that I doubt LBWL can develop sufficient renewables, certainly within their service area, to replace Eckert anyway. Even now the bulk of their renewable's portfolio is landfill-gas generated electricity purchased from Granger. (Which …

In other news... "Dave & Buster's considering Lansing Twp. location "
-
Why do I have a feeling "use more renewables" and "don't rely on the interstate grid" are two desires greatly at odds with each other.

Well that's funny. There was a brief time when LCC swam at East Lansing HS if I'm not mistaken because of the demolition of our pool. Not sure where they swim now.

Smashed (today).

Indeed. Corporate troubles apparently. When you find yourself closing busy stores, corporate troubles.
-
I will tell you my one concern is that the surrounding area won't properly adapt. Frandor, for example, is a mess to access as a pedestrian from any side - it can be done, but you end up walking along lane edges or through gigantic undesignated mas…

I, for one, look forward to living in the shadow of a monster. (Honestly I do wonder if I will be able to see it from my house. That would be cool.)

Today.

On a related note - bunch of flags and a small bulldozer at Saginaw and Abbot. Feel like I heard a long long time ago the city was going to make the little empty parcel there (which they own, was space for potential future yield lane) into a small …
