There is an interesting artical about the old West Saginaw downtown district in the City Pulse this week. I was just over there checking out some homes for sale and noticed a sold sign on the old furniture storefront. Seems like a few things are goi…

The first of the 3 building is standing, pitched roofline, large windows, sitting close to the street corner. Not very exciting so far, but it is good to see buildings going up there. I could have seen a building like the one they are proposing on t…

I like this building more than I thought I would. It fits well into its space, looks like Silicon Valley in Cali.

I heard a radio news report that stated the funds for the Walter French project have been approved, which is great news. It will be good to see the building full of people and activities.

The construction of the new fence next to the Red Cedar River has begun, I was happy to see the ugly cyclone fencing taken down, I would guess that the new fencing will be like the black bar fence on Michigan Ave.

I think that ELPD needs to have a large but not aggressive presence on weekends and game days. If people, see and know there are a lot of police on the streets maybe they would keep their guns out of their drunken fights after the bars close. More p…

The renovation of the storefront on Grand River next to the Jackson [Jacobson's} building has started, I remember the plan was for a two-story building with a bar-restaurant and a games room? upstairs. It is good to see this vacant property being de…

I could see a recreation facility, how about a glass elevator to the top of the stacks, maybe some sort of restaurant and observation deck in the sky up there! The site is not that isolated, there is a two-lane bridge, and I could see GM perhaps all…

I watched an interesting report on the YouTube channel "The B1-M" about the renovation of the Battersea Power Station in London. [The one on the cover of the Pink Floyd Album]. It made think of our Ekert Station and the possibilities for a smaller s…

I do not like the idea of a larger surface lot on Michigan Avenue. This could be a whole new urban neighborhood and he thinks a slightly up scale strip mall is the way to go. This guy should get out a go around the country and see that some projects…

I took a look at two projects the other day, the new apartment building on the REOTOWN sign site has some wooden framing starting, it looks like there will be no basement level. Over on Holmes Street the school renovation is progressing, it may have…

It is great that we need more hotel rooms in Greater Lansing, I guess I just think what those views must be like for new visitors, I might think "what kind of a place it this?". I do understand the economics of the site, the growing market for exte…

I think if you wait a couple of weeks all the work will be finished. I remember the sculpture; I liked walking around it. The sculpture was of a huge scale which made the shapes hard to figure out on the ground level, but when seen from the Capitol …

I visited the new Heritage Hall yesterday. I found the Hall very nice; the entrance does not feel like you are going underground, it gently slopes down to the stairs, and out of the bright/hot sun. Inside is a huge bright space that could hold a lot…

Looks like a very nice building and a step above the most recent apartments being built around town. Being located on the high north bank of the river this building will stand out in the skyline and will have great views in every direction.

Crews are taking down the building.

Crews were putting up fencing around the Sparrow building on the west side of Penn and Michigan, perhaps construction is beginning soon at that site.

I had noticed the hillside chopped off a couple weeks back, the northside hotel- cement factory district is a mystery to me.

Looks pretty good. I have not been by this area in a while, I believe the bridge renovation is, or near complete, just that alone improves the neighborhood. Now it looks like a great location for a high rise.

There are several photos of the two-way street conversions downtown in today's LSJ.com.
