Just a note about the "Sad Little Town" story, someone has come up with a T-shirt with a mittened fist with a star in the middle and the middle finger flipping the bird, and "A Sad Little Town" printed below. You can get one at sadlittletown.com! Pr…

I am not sure why a Free Press editorial would want to say something like "Lansing is a Sad Little Town and should not be the State Capital!" She bad mouths just about everything here including "Lansing Tacos"! Where did she go for tacos? Not Pablos…

I may be wrong [I have been in the past!:}] but while driving past the new apartments on S Cedar downtown they seemed to be working on the overhead utility-lines in front of the new buildings. In my brief look as I passed it looked like they may be …

It looks like the reconstruction of the Farm Lane Bridge is starting up again, there were crews working under the bridge today and signs up noting the road will be closed as of 12/18. Up the street the new student center is taking shape and looks la…

I was surprised to see that the Blue Owl coffee shop has closed, it seemed pretty busy maybe they upped the rent. Meanwhile another coffee shop selling Arabic style coffee is opening in the space where the MSU Museum "Art Lab" was located. The new T…

The rehab of the Black Cat Cafe is moving along, it looks like there will be an adobe exterior, and pitched roof facade over the door. I believe the name is Los Tres Tex-Mex ? they had a sign up but took it down for the exterior work. It is interest…

I looked a Dave's Hot Chicken's menu and they are another fried chicken tenders place with 14 levels of spice. I have recently figured out that a lot of young people do not like chicken with bones [my niece and nephew won't eat chicken with bones] I…

I think the green lanes are a good idea, however the city only painted the lanes in front of the two loading zones in front of the Newman Lofts building. I guess it is green, so people won't park across the bike lanes. It looks a little odd.

Great I can't wait to try Dave's; I know I will be smelling the restaurant cooking up all those fries and chicken tenders. We get all the cooking odors from the many restaurants that surround us. I know! I live in the middle of downtown EL, it's onl…

Signage was put up on the westside store front of the Newman/Parking ramp building. Get ready! it will be another chicken restaurant called Dave's Hot Chicken. I guess there is a lot of money to be made selling chicken these days! There was a LA Cal…

I was downtown yesterday and saw a huge crane removing a very large piece of machinery from the roof of the building at the southwest side of Washington and Michigan. [I don't know the name] I was wondering if this may be the beginning of the redeve…

The storefront next to the Jackson Building has renewed activity, it looks like they are prepping for the second-floor expansion. The Campus Corner site has been totally cleared out to the joists; I don't know what is going in there. The two spaces …

It will be great to see the hilltop there fully developed. I was out that way and noticed the construction of a Panda Express and the east side if Eastwood right next to the highway. I am sure there of a lot of people who love Panda Express, but doe…

East Lansing has installed maybe a dozen blue screens on pedestals all around downtown, with three in the small park at Albert and Abbot which seems like a lot for a corner lot sized park. I guess they are some sort of information device/screen. The…

I have looked at this wall art and it depicts the letters MSU. OK not super imaginative but better than a blank wall!

The white board that I noticed on the MSUFCU building was a templet for a wall sculpture. The sculpture is nice looking, with large green swirls of metal with different finishes. It is not illuminated at least not yet. Across the street the Black C…

Tuesday a crew was putting up what looked to be white board for a mural on the new credit union building on Abbot. Yesterday they took all the white boards down! I wonder why. Today there is a crew doing something and Abbot south bound is closed aga…

I understand, I used to think the mid-century building was so cool with the fountain in the lobby and the huge modern spaces, if they asked me I would have kept the old stone City Hall before the '50's version was built. It was also a very interesti…

Yes, it was built in the '60s and was Lansing's first [I believe] muti-story parking ramp and was thought of as very modern and a great addition to downtown. There is one on MSU's campus near the Administration building that was built around the sam…

That is good, two huge pot shops on the same block, was a very bad idea. I think a better plan would be for the developer to build their outdoor amities over the Grand Ave ramp overlooking the river and the city lease a few floors to them for priva…
