I am wondering what year this map was made. I have seen the "Lansing Theater" in photos of Michigan Ave, which must have been the '50s. I remember the Michigan and Gladimir [sp] theaters and there was an adult theater on N Washington in the '60s, I …

The LSJ.com has an interesting photo gallery of some of the historical landmark buildings in the area, the photo of the Olds Tower/Boji Tower looks so 1930's modern. I thought I posted this note.

Is Ganger really building new buildings at this site? Or is these one of those six years from now situations?

thanks for that information

Outside my window is the "Hop Cat" building [it has another name]. I don't know when it was built, but it has a brick facade on west side with a paneling only on the top floor. The front does have the paneled material, but it also has ceiling to flo…

I guess I got the idea there would be new sidewalks streetlights and trees from the older drawings. The outside materials look like the materials they used on The Landmark [student housing] on Grand River in EL i.e. cheap. The apartments on the sou…

The construction fences have been removed from Campbell Hall and the building looks like it is brand new. It should be ready for students to move in when they return in late August. They have also installed large green and white place name signs at …

I had not been over there in a while, so I took a drive to see if anything was happening on that corner. I found that the school building had been demolished, but everything was about the same. The shopping plaza on the northwest corner has been imp…

I am happy to hear people do care; it could be such a nice attraction for downtown. We would go downtown in the early evenings to watch the fountain's light and water show when I was a kid in the '60s. Even back then the park had a 'reputation"; in …

I just spent about an hour looking at this site, the riverbanks were so industrial, with so many factories there was not many places you could even see the river. These photos spark my memories, the neighborhoods on the west side of the Capitol, the…

It would be great if the folks who develop and build projects at MSU could develop and build public projects in Lansing. I know that these are two different forms of administration, I think that the University projects have to go through similar ste…

Thank you, I could see this huge flat area behind the trees going north on Abbot/Chandler to the east but could not see what going on there, a sod farm! that makes sense. The reason I thought it was some sort of government field or something restric…

It is in Bath township just past the EL city limits on Abbot/Chandler the fields are on the right behind the trees and the buildings are on the left heading north.

We take Abbot/Chandler for the start of our trip on backroads up to our cabin. The cabin is on the eastern side of Northern Michigan so going over to 127 takes you back west about 30 miles if you go up to Harrison. Along the way just past East Lansi…

The clock tower is one place I never went into at Sexton, it was off limits for students, did the tour take you into the clock tower? I believe the clock is keeping the correct time these days. There is a farm on Round Lake Road that has a barn wit…

It would be great if they would clear the waterways, I don't think a canoe could make from East Lansing to the Grand on the Red Cedar right now. It is a shame as the trip is really pretty along the way, is it a Lansing thing or DNR responsibility?

I attended JW Sexton High School in the early '70s, after attending the modern '60s Dwight Rich JHS which also had some nice features, like a sunken garden around a huge oak tree in the front and another garden in the center or building. The auditor…

I wonder if the state could provide funds the clear the waterways through the area. Seems like a super DNR project! Or maybe the local parks and rec. department should have a waterway petrol boat with equipment that could regularly lift the logs out…

Behind Bordy [complex] is just the way I described the area, it is the area that is now connected to the River Trail right behind the dorms on the southwest corner. Just drive down the Red Cedar Parkway, or Kalamazoo Street towards EL and the work i…
