I read that the Money Ball Company is about to open their new headquarters on W. Saginaw in a rehabbed building in the old commercial district east of MLK. I hope this will be the start of renewal of that area. It could be a nice "old town" type dis…

Today I asked a worker who was with a crew installing more posts in the woodlot behind Erikson and Wells halls what they were for. He told me they were for hammocks! They are for people to tie their hammocks to, rather than trees. While I would say …

This looks like a very ambitious plan. I like the greenways planned. I am sure this is not part of this plan, but I noticed a line of posts [wooden signposts?] placed along the river starting behind the Kresge Art Center going down to Bogue Street. …

I noticed some activity at the long empty car lot on the south side of Michigan Ave. and Howard, crews were cutting down all the scrub trees and bushes that had grown over the years, and I could be wrong, but I think the rest of the little old house…

Barnes Avenue School is where my dad and aunts, my brothers sister, and I went to elementary school. It was truly a neighborhood school, where you could be in class with the same kids all the way from kindergarten to the 6th grade. There was no cafe…

I was happy to see this story. It seems like MSU is just waiting for someone to pay for a pool, which is OK, but it seems odd for some reason, maybe this gift will help get a proper pool for the many uses it could have.

Thanks for the information, I am looking forward to watching these projects being built. BTW campus was really beautiful these past days with many trees and flowers blooming. The flowering trees in front of Dem. Hall framing Sparty are extra pretty …

In other digging news, crews are digging up the outdoor swimming pool behind the IM West. It's kind of sad as it was such a great place for summer term students to hang out. I guess the only pool at MSU will be in the IM East. I was a swimmer and li…

This is an interesting plan, they say that Lansing needs housing so this looks to be a good plan. I was downtown today and took a look at the Hillsdale and Capitol Ave. project [Capital View?] and it looks pretty nice, better exterior treatments th…

There is land excavating and lots of fencing around the Farm and Shaw site. I was wondering what is going on in front of the MSU Auditorium, lots of digging there too.

I noticed what looks to be a staging area was set up this week in front of the MUS Auditorium this week. Also, a sign noting the closing of the lot in front of the West IM. Looks like these projects are getting ready to start soon.

Thanks, I guess I missed the earlier explanation. Seeing the drawings helped.

Thanks for posting this information, now when I walk by the Farm Lane Bridge, I can understand the removal of all the trees and greenery in that area. It does seem a bit strange to see the plan for building a pedestrian bridge right there next to th…

I noticed that the lot on the corner of Hillsdale and S Washington has been paved and marked for parking spaces. Kind of disappointing.

MSU has removed all the trees from the Farm Lane and Shaw Lane green space where a new student organization building is going to be built. The trees were not very large, but it is always kind of shocking to see for the first time. One thing about MS…

I don't know where the '09 pavement is? I would like to see the street leveled to a small curb or even no curb, the brick work seems to be very old perhaps from the early last century. I could be wrong about that, but I think it should all be remove…

The construction of new apartment buildings on Cedar [Ballpark North?] was well underway as I drove by yesterday. There were already poured foundation walls and lots of excavation going on. The new building site on Shiawassee was also busy with two …

Thanks for the information on that building. It is a nice enough looking building but seems small for most proposes. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first "modern" buildings on the block, though I cannot remember what was there before, i…

I was asking about the S. Washington Ave Block.

I wonder why the 1960's small brick office building has not been part of the redevelopment of this block. It has not been occupied for many years.
