I noticed the building at Kalamazoo and Pennsylvania [ a long-time eye sore] has been renovated at least on the outside with the sort of common steel and rock faced brick style of facade you see these days. I think there were four front doors so may…

I cannot really remember if the Sears Store was flooded even during the big floods. I would think that he could just build on top of a berm like across the street or even build on top of a parking structure like the Red Cedar project was originally …

What I have noticed is that some of the retail spaces in Pat's new buildings have not been leased out since the buildings were built, I think that may be that rental lease rates are too high, rather than then undesirable locations.

Is there a final design drawing of what they are actually going to build, I have seen several different depictions in articles about the development.

Has the Gillespie Group ever built such a large project? I wonder why they did not choose the same contractor that are building the "Wellness Center" which is Granger I believe, they seem to have handled that huge project quite well. I would think t…

I was so happy to see this event taking place. considering what has been going on in DC and Wall Street I was anticipating an announcement any day about canceling or downsizing the project. There were some cool big projects on paper in '07 and '08 w…

This project is very impressive. If I could wish, I'd wish this was being planned for downtown Lansing. This is the kind of big project we need downtown; however, I am sure it will benefit the whole Lansing community. This weekend there were several…

I could see the "Bank of Lansing" building on N. Washington and Michigan as a good building to designate as historic. There are many artistic flourishes in the design. Also, the downtown Library is a beautiful example of the Mid-Century Modern desig…

thanks for the info. I guess 11 years is very old for a score board.

If you would like to take in an unusual sight on campus, take a look at Spartan Stadium. They have removed most of the scoreboards that ringed the north side of the stadium except for the frames which gives a good view of the original curved wall of…

Wow I was hoping for another Starbucks! The Bank of Lansing had several branches that were great examples of Mid-Century Modern design. Look at all the marble, and the simplicity of the design. I wonder if Kenneth Black designed this building it loo…

A new building is already being built where the old Bank of Lansing building stood behind Trader Joe's. I did not see any signs saying what is be built, I am hoping it is not going to be another bank branch office.

I found the City Pulse artical really interesting, giving voice to the thoughts I had about the past and future City Halls. However, the explanation of the new City Hall design as reflecting these insane times seems like a "good excuse" for an unins…

Good points given the propose of the building is a less expensive way to offer sports facilities to more people, I have always thought they look like a half-inflated blimp. Didn't the Sliver Dome have an inflatable roof? it looked like there was a b…

I noticed some sort of renovation/demolition going on at the former Rite-Aid store on the north side of Frandor. I don't know when the tore down the Spartan Cinema Theaters at that location, or for what reason, that was such a great place to see a m…

I hope so too, what I saw the other day was new insulation siding boards cladding the whole building, this may be the project finally getting underway.

It is just a small project that I noticed over on the corner of Kalamazoo and Pennsylvania, a long vacant eye sore convenance store is being renovated. I wonder if this area will become more attractive to developers as Sparrow grows. I hope the plan…

I guess this is a positive project, the thing I don't like about this type of inflatable building is that they can become dirty and stained by rain and pollution. There are a lot of these buildings out east, maybe they are made of better martials th…

At last night's game Spartan basketball game, the U of M proved again that they don't really care about our traditions or history here in Greater Lansing and then to just pretend like they did not know about our traditions and history is ingenuous. …

There are tow new restaurants moving into the remodeled store fronts next to El Azteco which have been mostly vacant for years. A slider burger joint and a pizza place. OK I hope they serve good food they have a lot of competition in this neighborho…
