  • 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.
  • Crews are putting up the signal poles for the Abbott and Albert interchange today. They are going to be the pole-style with a pole over the street holding the signal lights. They look good, really huge but better than the old poles and cables. It wi…
  • I just saw this report. I had not heard of that version of baseball, but it seems to be a good idea especially with a famous player like John Smoltz involved it should be a first-class facility. It is great that this will be free.
  • I am sorry to say you may be right about that. Why the city has to a fit a business into that building is what bugs me, just get over that it was a mistake in the first place and tear it down. This is another example of Lansing trying to do somethin…
  • 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 …
  • 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.
