What the heck is pickleball? all the sudden this last year I hear the name pickle ball! I have never heard of this sport! Today the lsj.com has some nice shots of the new hotel in the Block 600 building, the rooms are really nice. [subscribers only…

I think the Temple Building could be a great hotel and conference center, maybe building a residential tower/parking structure connected on the surface lot next door. Over on Cheery Hill the computer depictions of this project are not very good. I …

I am posting here to mention several different things I noticed traveling around Lansing yesterday. I took East Mt. Hope out to the post office and it was so beautiful! I had not been that way in a long time due to the condition of the road so it wa…

Just when i thought we had rid our city of those things he is bringing them back. I know some folks like to use these scooters but I did not miss seeing them spread all over town this summer.

I believe that latter era was what I was referring too. I do not know that the area was named "Lansing" Township before there was a City of Lansing. The township laws and boundaries that were later devised where often used for red lining …

Wow, would you look at that! I am going to enjoy using this street again, I was walking down there this spring and I was so disgusted with the condition of the street, all the potholes and broken pavement thrown up unto the sidewalk, it was really s…

Lansing Township was created for tax evaders and casual racist back when those areas where really the edge of town. It is much different today of course, as anyone who drives by Waverly High School could tell you. I think that today though it may …

Is the new fleet all articulated buses? I guess these will be used on RT#1 and in East Lansing so I won't see one passing by my building. I do get to see the new Amtrak locomotives. which I a train "nerd" think are very cool from my windows every da…

I will write to the Mayor, he or his office staff always respond. It would be good to see the city take over these silly boundary islands that are just lines on a map. I think the people who live and own businesses there deserve the better infrastru…

I am very sorry to hear about Roma, to me it really was like going to a shop in the North End of Boston. We get a couple of slices of "Grand Ma" pizza a week over there and often go on Wednesday for two for one bread-day. Is there any place else lik…

I live on S. Washinton Ave and have noticed the three-lane configuration works very well even at "heavy traffic" times. I think three-lanes could handle the traffic where it is currently 4 between MLK and S.Washington, and on the east end as well. T…

The Cherry Hill plan looks OK, with a bit of imagination I wonder if they could use the houses there that all must be over 100 years old, as part of the new buildings. Out east they would take a little house and strip it down the bare walls and inco…

I was wondering which project is called the "Lower Town Lofts"?

I rode my bike by the new Rotary Park area on the River Trail downtown, it is coming along nicely. I saw a big pile of sand for the beach, the fireplace looks really good, the colorful canopies were in place and the lights for the illuminated "fores…

This looks pretty good! The rooftop fun zone is very cool! There is going to be a great view from up there.

The news about Mt. Hope is really welcome, it's almost unbelievable! I wonder if there has been any change in the paving materials that might perform better in the shaded areas of the road. I have noticed that many shaded streets have a lot of potho…

That is good news that there are things going on to get the Wing underway. I have been wondering about the Red Cedar project, has there been anything said about a starting date? They were saying late this summer, so here we are and no news. It would…

I took a look at the new Target Store in EL. I found it very nice, it seemed kind of small at first, I guess because the other stores are so huge. But then I noticed how nice and compactly the merchandise was displayed and how easy it was to find th…

Thanks! I am sort of like Icabad Crane in that I was away for 35 years before waking up in 21st Century Lansing! so I do not remember the names of either building, it might be a problem like calling MLK, Logan Street.

I think the name will work OK as most people nowadays would not know the name Oliver Towers. Was the original name honoring someone named Oliver? I can not remember how it got that name. It is really looking great. I guess the upper floors would ac…
