I took a drive through the University Edge side of the development, and found that the building's apartments seem to be fully leased. At least that would seem to be the reason there were so many cars parked there. It could be that these are "free" s…

Thank you, this looks pretty good. Seems to fit in with the other new buildings and has some nice green space, looks like the same windows as the Newman, but no patios or balconies.

The Evergreen site has been cleared except for some foundation walls on the east side are still being worked on. They have set up a construction crew trailer on the site as well. This project seems starting up, as opposed the the credit union site w…

Great to see this is happening! If they could tame the traffic on S Cedar this area could become another "urban village/town" center like Old Town. How about "Frenchtown" [I know there is nothing very French there but the name is Old Lansing] or "S…

I believe that the city has a right of way on the strips of land between the sidewalk and street, so it could be possible to expand the width of the sidewalks a few inches for the trail. If they were to do that I think the south side of the street w…

I could see the trail continuing on the south bank from Moorse Park dam and under MLK on to Riverside Park then perhaps pedestrian/bike trail sharing newly paved public sidewalks past the private property on Moorse River Drive connecting with the t…

I have noticed the city had already removed maybe a dozen trees right next to the curb on the river side. This was done a few months ago, it is good to hear that it has something to do with the river trail and not traffic or utility related. The tre…

I meant to say the new buildings lining the street to the south, Frandor is confusing!

I was surprised to see renovation work beginning on the old and worn Seven-11 on Grove Street today! I wonder if it was the last one that looked like it did when I went to school in the '70's. Maybe I will go in there when it is cleaned up. They are…

CATA has started their on campus service and East Lansing connecting routes again, and already have many more riders then I have seen since I moved here in May. With the students and employees of MSU back in town I'm sure the ridership numbers will …

I was happy to see the rain gardens being installed along streets outside of Frandor. What a nice change this is all going to be. There is also a "fancy" new pot shop open just across from Sears. They were having a festival out back with vendors mus…

I took a look at the Lake Trust site and saw the depiction on the new signage, it does not very much like the depictions above, there seems to be a lot of the former cement façade included, it did not look "bad" but it is not all glass and light, so…

I am impressed with these drawings, and there are no dated flat slab rooftop features! I will have to go take a look, but the drawings have City Hall signage depicted, I was just wondering if this was a hint that City Hall is moving or just a hopefu…

That is very interesting news about old West Junior, I used to attend advanced art classes in that building. At that time they called it The Academic Interest Center, and students from all over the district could take classes that were not offered a…

I do have to wonder about their leadership. It seems the need for storage businesses is unlimited in the area. I can not understand why they would just be so complacent and seem to not really care about what is built on this huge piece of land. The …

I am writing about this here because I don't know who to call or write about this. There has been a high pitched alarm sound going off in downtown E.L. 24/7 since the power went off after the storm the last week. It is so loud that I can not sit ou…

I had a thought that the difference with the lower numbers may be related to right wing antigovernmental propaganda that was out there at the time which convinced some people not to respond to the census. I could see 16 hundred of those type of fol…

I went out to West Lansing yesterday, via Michigan Ave, I saw that demolition has begun on the Sparrow building that was once a potato chip factory near 8th Avenue. I also noted that construction fence has been put up around the whole block of 500 …

So far only some digging in the former parking lot, the city is installing new curb cuts and utility poles for the traffic and pedestrian crossing signals there, I am hoping it will not be a voice animated crossing signal like on Grand River and Abb…

I remember reading about a fountain "wall" with faces of local people spouting water, and other features like a floral clock. It will be very cool to see when [if] those features are installed.
