I just saw this today, it's pretty cool for a cyclone fence! I hope MSU is planning on doing something better than the cyclone fencing they have put up next to the Red Cedar along Michigan, Beal and behind the Kellogg Center. I know it was put up a…

Thanks, I guess it was the first time I noticed the sign, and now I remember hearing about it. I thought I was reporting something exciting and new!

I went to the Peanut Shop today and noticed they have begun to plant some good-sized trees behind the Capitol Building. I hope there will be a lot more. I also noticed a SOLD sign on the Masonic Temple building on Capitol Ave! I had not heard about…

I think if they went all in on the deco-streamline design [ the Knapp's building] like the marque some of entrances pictured it would be better than just references to the style. I do not like the several different pieces of the early "2K" design el…

I was surprised while going out of my morning walk to see almost two stories of cement floors and walls erected at the credit union building that were not there yesterday! Some of the walls have a dark brick patten. I wonder how much of the building…

There is some more and better information on the new arts center in this week's City Pulse, with details like floor plans. It is going to include "artist housing" as part of the plan to bring more people downtown to live. I think that is cool, the p…

It looks like they are including some of the streamline design found in the Knapp's building, this is an interesting feature, but the rest looks like the average so-so design. I am hoping this is an early depiction, perhaps to be improved. It is int…

It would have been an impressive place for a performing arts center at the Masonic Temple building. Of course, Blue Cross could not do without that surface parking lot in the middle of Lansing's downtown. It is great to hear that it may go on S. Was…

I may be wrong about this! but I think there was a line of trees and brush on the north banks of the river when I was a kid living on Park Ave. I don't remember being able to see so much of the trains and lots behind from the south bank. I knew some…

I understand why they chose the west side site, just a little humor at Delta's expense! For most folks the whole area called Lansing! I would love to see a new neighborhood built on the Verlinden site, I was thinking it could be mixed use with small…

It looks like Lansing is closer to getting the new GM battery plant as funds have been approved for some of the costs to develop the site. I wonder why they did not consider any of the huge pieces of GM owned land already in the city of Lansing, wi…

I read about an entertainment venue being developed in the building at 224 S Washington Sq. which the LSJ points out is the site of the original Knapp's Store built in 1915. I have to say I did not know this was the address of the first Knapp's, I w…

I took a drive over the rebuilt Aurelius Road bridge the other day, it was so nice to see the new smooth pavement. I found that I was still looking for potholes as I crossed, wow it's about time, I am glad they got to it. Then I went down Forest Roa…

One of the Red Cedar buildings almost finished is the senior building on the southwest side which was built with steel bricks and cement, and I think that it looks of a higher quality in design. The hotels so far, steel and cement are being used, it…

That is a great view! I hope we hear about the block being filled with the development of the Washington Ave side. The project in this area between Cedar and Larch is one place I would have thought would never be developed into housing, but there mu…

Lansing's airport is going to receive a large grant from the infrastructure funds recently made available. I hope they spend some of that money on the terminal building, it seems dark and old fashion in that building with the low ceilings and window…

A new awning has been put up on the College Manor building [Begger's] it looks nice but water drips off right down the middle of the sidewalk. There was an article about EL developments in LSJ yesterday. I did not know they are planning another offi…

It is good to see the development happening, I like the parking is behind the buildings. I hope they plan an urban style design for the facades, like the rowhouse style down the street on Grand Ave and St. Joe.

The work on the credit union building has picked up as the first cement and rebar are going down today, also they have closed the north side of Evergreen next to the site. The new crossing signals beep but do not talk [I hope] and we cannot hear it …

I believe the folks who bought the REOtown old service station a year or two are the same folks who own the Traverse City attraction.
