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.

The hill there is an interesting feature of the landscape in that neighborhood it helps to make it very nice area. It makes for a good walk too. I was thinking it could be sand or gravel deposit from the glaciers as there are several sand pits/mines…

There is also a short video on the University Edge leasing page that gives a 3-D view.

I came across an interesting fact about Professor Newman, the fellow for whom the building is named. Perhaps some may already know this, but I was looking through a history of East Lansing book and found a photo of the home he built in the early 19…

The University Edge building are looking pretty good with the finishing work on going, I like the awnings they give a contemporary boost to the look to the buildings. They have planted a lot of landscaping, I hope the plants and shrubs will soon cov…

I am wrong in thinking that Frandor's parking lots are going to be renovated for better drainage? It seems to be a patchwork of repaving small areas being done right now, and they are using regular asphalt by the looks, nothing like permeable pavi…

I took a look at the Aurelius Road project and was a bit surprised to find it is more of a rebuilding project rather than just repaving. There were some very large cranes on the bridge so some heavy work is being done. That will be nice to drive tha…

The construction fencing along Evergreen and behind the church was removed today. They did a nice job on the area, some trees along there would be nice too. I guess the street is open, but may close again when the big projects begin again. I believe…

I noticed the other day that they have installed the windows and doors on the ground floor of the "University Edge" buildings on the east side of the development. They look good, seems like there is going to be a lot of retail space[for these days] …

Has this renovation taken place, or is it just a rendering? I have not been over that way. There was an interesting article in The City Pulse about the group renovating the "City Market" pole barn. It gave me a little more hope that this will be …

Today the construction of the credit union building seems to be beginning, but some of the work may be the sidewalk handicap curb cuts project. At any rate they are pulling up pavement at the corners that seems to have been just recently laid. Take …

The pool looks pretty sweet, with some nice green space too. I see a lot of cars parked there, it seems like they are having no problem leasing out this place.

I was wondering if there is a rendering of the building project behind the bank building? I could be wrong! about the site, but I believe it is the site of the last building in the Abbott/Graduate project. There seems to be a separate surface parkin…

I see you are saying the new south bound lanes of MLK follow the old Birch Street. To be honest I can not remember going down Birch Street on the north side of the river. My Dad was well kind of a "fearful" of passing through that neighborhood himse…

OK now I see what the tents were about. It is never "very quiet" here in downtown EL, but I am sure it will be a lot more noise very soon. I am hoping that this building will not block the late afternoon sun we get on our patio. Maybe that three foo…

I do remember when it was all residential from the north side of the Logan Street bridge all the way down Olds Ave, but I don't remember any sort of loop or short cut on Birch Street. The blocks were in a grid pattern, so I could be wrong but I thi…

The street paving project on Evergreen and Valley Court Park is nearly finished, it looks like there will be more parking for the farmers market days. They have erected a curtained fence around the brick building behind Dublin Sq. including two big …
