"I guess I was on the wrong page." But I saw it! Thanks.

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.

PS - I have long suggested perhaps an ice skating rink there... very happy East Lansing is going to try one in Valley Court Park.

Ditto on wishing for something other than a parking lot at Grand and Michigan. (But you know I noticed walking around downtown Chicago recently - even very close to the city center you can find some small surface level parking lots. How exactly th…

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.

Did not take a picture, but arriving via Amtrak last night I happened to de-board at the location of the new station, and it makes for a MUCH better impression upon arrivers than the old station. It still was not in use for train passengers, howeve…

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.

We saw a movie in Eastwood tonight, and out Uber driver on the way there commented that if they keep building stuff there they're going to have to widen the entry/exit roads. Sure enough, coming home we found ourselves in a gigantic line of cars in…

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 …

Anybody know of something going on near the intersection of Michigan and Highland? Lots of utility flags in the ground, and on both sides of Highland. Couldn't figure out what might involve digging on both sides of the road.

I was talking with someone with GLCVB and asked them if they were in favor of a casino downtown. They said that officially they have no position, unofficially they want it because it would mean another hotel downtown, which we do need.
