It is kind of a miracle but they city sold City Hall and the hotel plan is going to happen!

Meanwhile the Farm Lane bridge is looking very nice. Crews are installing the streetlights, they have a vintage look, similar to the lamp posts around the central campus. There are two tall lamp posts at each end and several shorter lamp post in bet…

Yes, it seems like a new "artist" is inflicting his ego on us around town recently. The new sound barrier walls next to the Cherry Hill neighborhood has been tagged with big dumb tags, nothing artistic about it. I would like to see the fools who do …

I hope that the development of the Genesee School does happen. It is such a great building, quite different from other Lansing elementary schools. Maybe they will hire the same people who did the Holmes Street School, they did a really nice-looking …

I agree I guess I was thinking of the people who spent years and a lot of money on the Old REO building in REO-town and another on East Michigan that closed. Good food and great beer are indeed the keys. I hope the new place does well, I love that b…

A mural would be a good idea, in most case with murals around the city the taggers tend to leave the murals alone. In other areas of campus, they usually cover the graffiti over fairly quickly, they never covered anything under the old bridge. I kno…

A new brewery /restaurant is opening on Ionia Street downtown, called Saltrock. There is an artical about the new business in LSJ.com they seem to have a good plan. I wonder if the brewery pub trend is running its course, I am a beer drinker but rar…

The Farm Lane Bridge is open for traffic while they finish the sidewalks and light poles. It looks great, maybe if you are interested in seeing it you might want to get over there before the graffiti "artists" decorate the walls.

Yesterday as I drove out to Horrocks, I noticed that there was scaffolding up in front of the old mansion in next to Cooley Garden. I remember someone had bought the house a few years ago but I never saw anything going on there. I hope this a sign o…

I saw an interview with the developer who is very excited about buying City Hall and turning it into a first-class hotel. He is the same developer who had been wanting to develop the City Hall for the former mayor and seemed very much into getting t…

Yes, I guess acers of empty blacktop must always be available for parking. This is Lansing after all. Plus, they took away the bus stand shelters so if one did want to visit Frandor without a car you must be ready to stand outside in the weather to …

I took a closer look at the "sandstone" colored squares, and they may not be the finished exterior, maybe some sort of backing for whatever the finished facade is. I hope it is as there is a lot of wall space covered with those squares.

I visited the new Ranney Park, and I was very impressed with the new water works. I was remined of drawings of designs of the future that I used see when I was young! I also like the fast-flowing streams and large ponds. It will be nice when the tre…

Crews were laying the rebar for the sidewalks on the Farm Lane Bridge, and they are finishing the approach road beds on both sides. Most of crew and equipment trailers have been removed, and the new sidewalks in front of the Auditorium have been fin…

I quit Facebook a while back, I followed a foraging group, which became political! There would be comments about gathering mushrooms from private and State lands, saying it was anyone's right to gather what they want where they want. They commented …

The Michigan Central Train Station was basically a bombed-out shell, and they found the money and will to save that building, I think the task of saving at least the facade of Eastern would be a much easier and less expensive than any of the rehabil…

Wow so cool, it's like a picture of somewhere else, something so cool looking and beneficial for our water systems can't be in Lansing! I am happy that it is. Thanks for posting.

There was an interesting note in the City Pulse stating that the architects for the Ovation Center have been chosen, and they are Albert Kahn Associates! of Royal Oak. I think this might be a good plan.

Just an observation, I have had reason to travel on E. Michigan Ave and found that it looks really terrible with the trees all cut down. I would suppose there are not many who remember what Michigan Ave. looked like before those trees were planted i…

The new restaurant/game center next to the Jackson building had the roof spans delivered yesterday. This project has completely rebuilt the building adding a second floor. The work has been going on for months and must be costing a lot of money. I h…
