  • It all seems like kind of weird to me that this city owned building is going to be the site of a private enterprise, granted they will be paying rent and bringing people downtown, I would have rather seen the pole barn removed, it never was and may …
  • There is an article about the plans for the City Market building on the LSJ.com, there has been a refinement of the renovation that has moved the shuffle boards courts from a second level to an indoor outdoor patio on the riverfront side and the who…
  • Thanks for posting this picture. I guess it is just not necessary at this point, but they have yet to take down the small brick office building on S Washington. I am looking forward to the new buildings going up on S. Washington, I don't think they …
  • I also think it would have been better to clear the site and build something that would have been a better use of that space. I had not thought about the "black market", I left that market the day I moved back to Lansing! The prices have already com…
  • I do not know for sure it is going to be a pot shop, but renovating that small dealership building is what several other have done. Like I said it is such waste of a huge space, it must have cost a lot to acquire and renovate. The mark up on MJ must…
  • It looks like the Sawyers site next to the University Edge building is being renovate into the long planned pot shop. There was a lot of landscaping being done in the parking lot, they were pulling up some of the blacktop and planting trees! The sma…
  • There are crews still working on the former QD building on S Washington. I have a feeling it is going to be a grow house, there has been no work done on the exterior. Up the street at W. Barnes and S Washington the building there was being cleared o…
  • Wow so much water, it really is amazing to think most of that water is runoff that would have went straight into the river. I think all these pounds are already helping to reduce flooding . I was wondering about the house shaped building with the pi…
  • I do like the Realtors building, it is nice to see some bolder design.
  • There is an article about the plan for Clara's on LSJ.com [paid site] to open a Starbuck's "Community Store" in the western side of the building. A Starbuck's Community Store includes space for community groups and activities, I guess geared towards…
  • Some nice sized trees have been planted along Evergreen and behind the church. Looks great. The work at the credit union, and the apartment building seems to have been paused. There is a depiction of the new credit union building on the porch of the…
  • The crews were pouring the cement banks stairs and sidewalks in front of the western apartment buildings Wednesday. I like the color scheme for those buildings, it was looking like they might be beige but they are now a dark charcoal around the top …
  • This is a great thing to hear about. Of course to me [absent 35 yrs.] the "old football building" seems new, so it would seem they need more and improved space. It is great to see that other spots are included in these plans. I have wondered about t…
  • I had been hoping to hear about the hotels, and the rest of the plan moving forward. It will interesting to see how the leasing of the retail space goes. I think that being close to campus and Frandor will help filling those spaces, both of the new …
  • Of course I understand China is "communist" in that this is what they call their governing body, what they actually have is not communism, today it is a autocratic dictatorship and one ruling party with an centralized economy controlled by that dict…
  • I believe China does have a five thousand years of history for much of which they were the largest and most powerful country in the world, and they look at the last 200 years as a brief moment of turmoil in a long history of also believing in their …
  • Perhaps there is a lot of "blame" to go around, and I don't have an option some of the points you bring up, except I am pretty sure Democratic leaders and our local health officials where doing their best to keep us informed with the best and true a…
  • While at Frandor after a heavy rain I noticed the "rain gardens" are already draining the parking lots. I don't know if they are hooked up the new system. Many of them had a high water mark on the new grass which was dirty with parking lot run off. …
  • I was thinking the wonderful change was the person who is the President today. He was here to support our state, and gather support for his policies. That stands in stark contrast to the last time Air Force One was in Lansing, last October the forme…
  • I saw Air Force One and the other aircraft that traveled with President Biden to Capital Region Airport fly right over my building in East Lansing. I could see that it was Air Force One by the colors [and it is a 747!] from my patio! The giant cargo…
