  • I had not thought about data collection by these camara things. It seems like an odd thing for EL to be doing but these days who knows! Sometimes I think these modern days suck so bad with all that sort of thing, killer drones, Identity theft, kids …
  • If they are there for parking enforcement perhaps there should be some sort of sign letting drivers know they will be ticketed by a recorded camara shot. Of course, if writing a lot of tickets is the motivation to make money than maybe they will jus…
  • Fandor has such a crazy reputation here, there are so many businesses packed into a rather small area, and the diverse people who shop and work there let me know that I'm not in East Lansing. I think that it feels comfortable to see that I am far fr…
  • Here in downtown EL the city has installed these grey pillars that look like they have cameras inside the top. They are near corners like Abbot and Grand River. There are often door-dash drivers parked there as well as delivery trucks parked in the …
  • Well, I guess they are somewhat successful at getting the lots developed, but I agree that the place is not a place that I often shop even though my husband works there at the Gap, which is where he ended up after Banana Republic closed. The Gap is …
  • I saw that the business the is going in at the former bank site on Lake Lansing in Eastwood is going to be a Chick-fil-A restaurant, soon every block will have at least one chicken take-out restaurant! and a Carhart store is going into a vacant stor…
  • Two restaurants are moving into the renovated train station on Michigan Ave, downtown. The Morning Post a breakfast place and D'Nulffos a seafood and chop house. They will employ 30 people. Great News for that growing neighborhood. They run the same…
  • I noticed that work as well, there are a lot of small banks here, I wonder who uses them sometimes. Also right in that area, crews were renovating the old Bigbie's coffee shop to the west of the Midtown building. Also, on the "East Side" up at Michi…
  • The LSJ.com has another one of their "projects to watch" in Lansing articles. It is interesting to see the timelines that say people will be moving into the new city housing in June, moving into the new City Hall in a few months, and the steel being…
  • I like that this building which looks to have a similar lay out as the Landmark building but looks quite different, higher quality exterior treatments give the building a nice look, at least in the depiction.
  • An artical about the new housing proposed for the Student Bookstore space on Grand River Ave is on LSJ.com. The depiction looks nice, and it is great that the owners of the bookstore are involved in this development. I think this will help to get a …
  • I think those speed measuring machines can clock anything that zips by.
  • I think some signage telling people what is not allowed on the trails, informing people that may not know there are rules. I know that would not stop all electric bike riders from using the trails, or perhaps just having some sort of petrol riding t…
  • There is a new building being built in Eastwood on Lake Lansing Road where a bank stood before. There was no signage saying what was going up there, but there were a lot of workers on the site, it seems they are like working at fast pace as much of …
  • At least a sign telling what bikes should ride were might help, perhaps size and weight should also be considered. I think trail rangers would be good for safety out there. Of course, the police would have to get out of their cars which they really …
  • I agree with you about the powered bikes that travel along the bike paths and pedestrian sidewalks. I have often had one of those big things zip by me on the sidewalks of Grand River Ave, and on campus. I think it is a very good idea to get them off…
  • The GR projects look really good. It would be nice to see something built that looks a little better than most similar projects in Lansing.
  • That looks like a "cool" project; however, I was talking about the vacant lot behind the MSUFCU building on Evergreen and Albert downtown East Lansing. I'll take another look over there to see if anything indicates what is happening back there. I w…
  • There is a large steel structure in one of the empty lots behind the MUSFCU building that is about a story high square, also several crates with some sort of equipment in them. I would guess that it is a HVAC project or possibly communication equipm…
  • I went to that casino in Montreal out on the St Helen's Island where Expo-72 was built. The building the casino is in was a pavilion built for the world's fair. It was a while ago, but they still had coin slots the pay outs with coins! You walked a…
