  • Today I saw signs of construction re-starting on the longest rehab on Grand River, the building next to the Jackson Building has new metal cladding on the walls a roof facing the alley. Do you think it is the same people that started this years ago.…
  • I think if the feds. had kept the tax incentives the sale of EV's would have grown stronger rather than declining, the artical remined me about the end of the incentives. I have a gas-powered vehicle which many people still preferred before the oran…
  • I do like the depictions, I would rather see less corrugated metal panels, and more wood details, to me that would be a more Scandinavian look. I often hear negative comments about Lansing; I grew up here with probably had the same thoughts when I …
  • Today I read a couple of articles about GM's plans for the Grand River Plant. I believe that they are ending the CT5 Cadillac, and replacing it with another Cadillac coupe, a Buick four door sedan, and a next generation Camaro. I think [ didn't writ…
  • My land up north in Iosco County has a fast-flowing stream Stewart Creek that is joined by Hoppy Creek which runs from a little spring feed lake called Hoppy Lake, there are beavers in the area although not really one my land, they build dams upstre…
  • Thanks for posting this picture! Now we need one of those little lumber jacks.
  • I wonder why my degree from MSU did not lead to being a Millionaire? I guess I should have been a packaging major. This building looks like they will include engineered wood lumber for its construction. this depiction looks like the Multi-cultural …
  • Thanks for the discussion, my last thoughts about this area are that honestly, I would like to see any kind of development there, Industrial or housing, the wedge of land between Larch and Cedar would be a good place for a Target or Meijers with hou…
  • This would be exactly the kind of development that the South Side needs, modern housing with contemporary infrastructure [the design could be improved] that would be far better than the 60 to 70-year-old ranch houses of that area. It seems like the …
  • I like our station; I understand that it is located where most passengers come from in EL but I wish we could have the old station on S. Washington as a stop too. The new station needs canopies over the track platforms; it can very wet waiting to bo…
  • Very cool, South Lansing is where most people live these days and could use new housing. I like the lay out with the gardens and woods, the buildings are interesting if basic. OK Lansing make it happen!
  • As I read more about this project I went back and forth on the idea depending on what I had just read. It seemed to me like the pro side was winning among people who had not already had an opinion on data centers. Like me the more people read and un…
  • I agree with your points, it has been a long time since I went to school, I think that there have been several generations of Americans who have had a poor education the areas of civics and government, even something like school pride that said you …
  • I think this is the real deal and we will see hopefully an interesting and useful "civic center" grow up from the old parking lot. I can't really remember what stood on the block other than the little brick building they are keeping. I do remember t…
  • This idea reminds me of the destruction of the East wing of the White House. Move the downtown library from an historically important and beautiful building into a gray cement parking ramp. Wasn't there a rehab of the library in 2018 or so not very …
  • The Meijer's service station will be convenient it is true, although getting in and out of there may be challenging.
  • The final phase of the Michigan Avenue repaving project has finished with all the kind of crazy crossovers or Michigan lefts. The Clifford Street [Stapels] intersection has a left from Michigan east to N Clifford and west bound to the south from Mic…
  • Construction has begun on the new Meijer's Gas Station on the corner of Abbot and Lake Lansing Rd. with all the woods there removed. Whatever! are my thoughts on this development.
  • This is interesting and good news for our community, high paying jobs and producing products that lessen our reliance on fossil fuels. I hear a different opinion from DC about electric vehicles and renewable energy in general, so this seems plan to …
  • I read that McDonalds is still seeking to build a shop at the site of John Anthony's flower shop on Michigan. It said that they are working on a new plan that fits with the neighborhood's zoning and development requirements. IMO that spot will soon …
