Here is my list of some local streets to repave, Baker Street, Moorse River Drive, High Street, Cesar Chavez, Hosmer Street, Hazel Street, Malcom X, West Kalamazoo, West Michigan, West Barnes Avenue, Olds Avenue, McPherson Avenue, Boston Blvd. and I…

It is kind of funny that Granger is inviting people to view the demolition, after all these years of being forced to look at this mess owned by the Grangers, now they want to celebrate finally tearing it down. If this was my company, I would not wan…

It is almost unbelievable to see all of these projects are actually happening, the fish ladder had become an eyesore imo, the plan looks great. It looks like this was always going to be an amphitheater but was never finished. It is cool that I have …

This shows Logan Street looking north. It is interesting to see that all the cars in this photo are American! There is a badass Camaro next to a Firebird, behind a Cutlass. Those early safety bumpers on the Olds look like an afterthought. It still k…

These projects look very impressive in this visualization. I have to wonder what the rents are going to be. I was thinking while watching the video that it is ironic to see this huge building going up on a rather small lot, compared with all the lar…

I took a bike ride on the new trail link behind Brody, it is only about 20 feet long, but it is a more convenient connection from campus to the trail around the Red Cedar development [is there a name for this development yet?] ponds and on to the La…

I am still amazed that E Michigan in front of Frandor has not be repaved, does anyone know why it has been delayed for so long or when we could look forward to the end of the moon scaped pavement. I know I should call and find out but maybe someone …

I saw an exhibit at the Broad Museum which included displays from minority communities in Lansing. This included some photos and stories about the building of 496. They displayed a story about the video "They Even Took the Dirt" about the neighborho…

It is interesting to see the year-built stone with the Preuss name on the building. I wondered why that building had been left behind in the Old Town revival, it is a good location.

The work on Campbell Hall is nearly done on the outside, the new windows look great, and they just finished installing copper finish around the chimney tops, everything architecturally correct, the same goes for the museum. I find the most interesti…

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…
