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…

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…

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…

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…

It seems like traffic on Saginaw and Oakland, Cedar and Larch travels mainly in packs that fill all the lanes side to side due to the traffic signals. The packs fill the lanes because the can but are not many cars deep. With single lanes like on S. …

This a quite a study. It is very interesting to see the two way depictions. It shows it could be done. I am hoping this becomes a real project soon.

I guess it is the large amount of land we have to build on that is the reason most building don't make it beyond five or six stories in Lansing, it may be cheaper to build horizontally! Some bolder design should be considered, and buildings fronting…

The site preparation for the credit union building began today with crews pulling up the pavement. I am happy that we don't get much noise from the work going on. Behind there the building site on Evergreen has been cleared and filled in with top so…

There an article about the Lake Trust development in the LSJ.com [free] and I also saw a report on YouTube fox47 where they talk to the developer. He said the building's '60s Brutalist cement façade is a historic representation of this type of archi…

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 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 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…
