  • 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 …
  • Here is my spring Red Cedar beaver report! The little fellows cut down several dozen small trees this winter along the river path behind Beal Garden. Including several white birches that were planted by MSU along the trail in the studium side. Beave…
  • That is just crazy! My house on Cape Cod had a smaller tax rate than a home in Lansing! Maybe Lansing should have a nickname like "Taxachusettes" something like "Taxsing" or "Lansing, The Taxing Capital of America"! We have the most expensive parkin…
  • There is a new building going up in the Frandor area on N Homer and E Saginaw at the former site of a service station. It is a lager two- or three-story building so I would guess it is not a fast-food restaurant, there was a sign with an attorney's …
  • I am not a homeowner in Lansing, and there are times when renting feels like throwing money down a bottomless hole. I think a lot of people have the income to say get a home loan, but when you add taxes utilities, trash removal, and home maintenance…
  • I saw the new public service buildings on S. Washington, and I was impressed by the size and look of the new facilities. I guess it makes the tiny city hall make more sense as many departments are now going to be in the new building. It also looks l…
  • I guess this is not on the subject [EL development], but anyway one way we could calm things down is cut down on over-serving alcohol at all the bars, and maybe not selling to visibly intoxicated people at stores. As a bartender in Mass. you are hel…
  • I agree that we are failing our community if we have mentally ill people going around vandalizing and breaking windows so often, they know the guy. I would probably know him to if I saw him. I noticed the back door of Detroit Wings has been smashed …
  • I think I know who you may know the guy talking the police are talking about, some days he is kind of mild some days and some days he would be aggressive calling me names etc. I think that although some people should not use cannabis or relay on it …
  • I saw an announcement about the renovation of the Washinton Apartments on S. Washington Ave. The LHC is going to rehab the building into affordable senior housing. I looked at that building for years, it really is unique in Lansing, and I hope they …
