LSJ.com has updated the Majority story, they seem to be backpedaling on the closing.

Dusty's English Inn can do it, out in the middle of no where. Majority could have made it with all the people in the vicinity. Its sad to see it go, I ranked it as our top area restaurant for 'the whole package', however it was never busy. I thin…

I'm curious if the Lansing Center expansion would actually do anything.... meaning, there are so few hotel rooms downtown, that who would they book there? Chicken and the egg, but I think another hotel needs to open first, besides the Radisson is a…

I had not heard of the possibility of an expansion by the Lansing Center, that would be quite tragic. Nothing like creating one gigantic stretch of river that would only be used on special occasions, and completely vacant of attractions the rest of…

Lmich, I think that you hit the nail on the head, if your going to have the market at all, you need to make it 7 days for the facility. The part time tenants can't support the place, they can supplemant it, but they alone can't do it. So the next …

It corporate owned and not a franchise, so it may take some convincing, and we may need to put together a compelling package, but hey, this is smaller towns bring in big city amenities. Its not always simply sitting and waiting for someone to disco…

There seems to be some interest locally on this. I think we may be able to make a decent pitch at this. Just a matter of what Zipcar will want or need for a demographics, but I think that most of the local players necessary to make this fly, would…

I put it out there to see what response would be. So many, do own cars, but I sometimes wonder how many of them really need to own a car. For me personally, public transit, just doesn't work, but that has more to do with my field of work. A zipca…

San Fran, Chicago, Ann Arbor, New York, Boston, all very large places, with Ann Arbor being the smallest. www.zipcar.com It looks pretty cool. Public transit shortcomings could be picked up by the zip car. Ann Arbor has an Excape as one of its a…

I'm not exactly sure, it was simply mentioned that money was intended for a mural.

There have been a few different forces that have wanted to see if creating distinct districts would help with the promotion of the areas. Old Town has been successful in being a district, but there are so many other areas that are non distinct. Th…

So far it is very broad, as that was the purpose of bringing the group together. About 35% of the 100k is earmarked for very broad use. Signage and streetscaping is about it, but not a single specific yet. If the group is successful the money wil…

I went over and chatted with Tom, the townhouses that Fady wants to build are on Larch, on a lot that is vacant, east side of the street, near American Eagle.

yeah, its that he is in support, It's Tom Powers of 319 Grand River. Just like when John Pollard of whatever Blair Street. I wrote a letter of support for Richard Karp's condo project, its just a letter of support to help the council members push …

This program is growing and evolving every year. Once a city wins a grant with a project, its really up to them to then run with it, some have succeeded and others, not so much. Brian Anderson at the EDC is working very hard to bind together the S…

There was a quick meeting of property owners and the EDC today for the Stadium District to start talks about using the cool cities grant to reshape the district. I think we might want to have a forum for the Stadium District and the Stadium Project…

I think there will be some good that will come from the fire, the building was uninspiring. I watched the fire, it was pretty extensive, and plenty of water was dumped on it. My house burned down last year, and I can tell you that the water does a…

Also, don't know if anyone caught this one, but the Fast Temps building, in Old Town, caught fire tonite. It appears to have started in one of the upper apartments. The upstairs units are definetly totaled. The roof of the adjoining building to t…

An artist colony is a general art studio. Artists rent a small space, but have common access to craft items that they might otherwise not be able to afford. For example, a kiln is very expensive, and expensive to operate, but amongst 10-15 potters…
