I was downtown for appointments and took a tour around, over at the Scott Garden things looked pretty nice, lots of flowers still blooming, next door at the Cooley Garden things looked rather neglected not really bad just not that great, some of the…

The rehab of the former Rite-Aid store on Penn. and Michigan Ave. looks pretty good. It still has the facade details of the old building, but new windows and doors and a different color make a nicer looking building. The urgent care center in the pa…

My idea about the camp would be a place where people would have to follow rules and regulations in order to camp there. It is true that there are people who will not except any help offered, or any rules, I think that most of those people may be men…

I noticed that the small building on Washtenaw across from the Grand Ave apt tower has been demolished with crews still clearing the site. I hope there will be something besides a surface parking lot built there.

Today I noticed that the new trees have been planted along E. Michigan Ave! They look fairly mature so may survive the tree vandals. There is also a variety of different kinds of trees. Looks OK, a few of the old trees are still there and look so ni…

I would like to see the greater Lansing governments get together and to solve this problem. I don't like the thought of people needing to camp out but I believe if the community would create a camp with good tents and a place for those folks to gath…

Wow I had not seen this. About 14 stories, it would be the tallest in East Lansing. It looks like a nicer version of The Hub. I understand that the market for student housing is higher than apartments for the general public, but I do hope they inclu…

Over on the north side, I saw construction equipment and crews at Otto JR High School. I remember reading about a project there on this page, but I can't remember what was going to be built there. The fish ladder project is looking very nice; they w…

I checked out the downtown construction sites yesterday and saw crews installing steel beams up to one story at the high-rise site. The Latino workers gave me a double take as they left work passing by. I don't want to jinx anything, but I have not …

The new service station and mini mart being built on Abbot and Saginaw is nearing completion and looks pretty nice for a gas station. Like the one it is replacing the pumps are behind a small berm of grass and nice looking "rock" walls out of sight …

There is an artical in the City Pulse about changes to the Ovation project due to increasing cost, with tariffs driving up cost. I had been worried about this all year while hoping the project would get under way before "the great orange builder" de…

Today is game day, only mild mayhem going on, one fight in broad day light. No flood lights downtown so far and fighter jets just flew over! I don't think the lights did much good. I wanted to say the new scoreboard is really great, so clear and bri…

I noticed the new housing going up on Pennsylvania Ave yesterday. I remember it was noted here but I was thinking it was further down to the south, it was great to see something new being built in that area. When U of M actually builds all that has …

Just so you know the Landmark is all student housing, it is the Newman's Lofts a separate building on Albert that is senior market rate housing. I live in the Newman Lofts building and I would say it is nearly 90% leased, the rents are not really ou…

Yes! thank you for that information. It may be better to rebuild the road, but I will be happy with repaving. There were crews and what looked like volunteers clearing out the weeds along the drain streams which looked better. I think they may want …

I saw there are steel beams going up at the City Hall, and the apartment building in the next block has walls going up to the top floor. Just dirt at the Ovation corner. I would like to see the city get the owners of the burned-out liquor store acro…

I also pointed out the graffiti. I would like to see some enforcement of vandalism laws, maybe if these ''artist" had to pay for their crimes against our community others might not follow. Even I can tell that one or two people do a lot of the taggi…

I noticed the new fence in front of WLNS, it seems a little over done with the bent iron spicks arching down on the street side. It is not as ugly as it could be and I don't know what kind of threats they face but this fence is more defensive that t…

I was very happy to see the Spartan helmet icons have been installed on the north facing side of the north endzone scoreboards. They may light up but I think there may not be any other illumination. I was reminiscing about the "olden days" when we …

Geez! I really try to have little faith that the mayor is doing the right thing for Lansing, but he is concerned with something else it seems. Why didn't he notice after the orange destroyer was put in office and all his talk of tariffs coming, he d…
