The station was on the northeast corner of S. Logan and Main Street right where the bridge over 496 is, it was one of the first properties they took. I believe there were gas stations on three of the four corners. I remember this church sitting on …

I went to the MSU Board Museum a few days ago, they have a very interesting exhibit about about automotive design, and it's influence on art and life. Part of the exhibit included a whole section about the construction and destruction of I-496. Ther…

I guess you could say the design reflects some aspects of the Mid-Century design you find in many MSU buildings, like the Library. If you look at it with this in mind the design is more understandable. On the subject of East Lansing development, …

It looks like this first floor of a taller building. Not too much saying "2021" there in this design, but not "that bad".

The walls for the new hall are up sort of giving an idea of the entrance area. They have removed a lot of soil from the west side of the hill. I hope this is for some nice green space, I understand they are not going to replace the parking lot on th…

This does look nice and I am very pleased about the rain gardens and the reduction of pollution, it is a good thing. I wonder if they are planning any pedestrian pathways through the gardens as it seems like they maybe hard to see while driving by. …

I am sure that this is for the drain project but it was still kind of shocking to drive down Michigan Ave today and see that they have cut down nearly every tree in the center median across from Frandor! I guess this is were the streams are going t…

Where on campus was that? Maybe out in the fields? I took a walk around the central campus and there was hardly a branch down. The Red Cedar was rolling along quite high [I think they could surf at the falls] but not out of the banks yet at least at…

I saw the Magic Johnson mosaic portrait behind the front desk and found that the mosaic was made from different colored basketball shoe laces! It is really cool! as is the whole place. Very different lots of wood. check it out the have a 30% off dea…

It is Ervin Magic Johnson! Draymond is a good guy but he is not quite worthy of a portrait over the front desk.

I noticed a lot of work being done at the old QD plant, I hope is is not another grow house going in there.

This place looks really great, my sister is coming in from San Francisco and taking advantage of the $50 a night rate they offered us at The Newman! I will enjoy seeing the inside and the roof top bar.

The reconstruction of Evergreen Street behind the Graduate Hotel looks very nice and seems near completion. I peaked in the windows of the hotel lobby and I was surprised by the quite elegant decoration of the room along with a large portrait of Erv…

That will be an interesting area to watch area as this may signal the developers are ready to build there. I wonder if they might include some resident owned condos or homes rather than all rentals. I found in my brief home search that there are ver…

If you would like to check out a really cool new urban park that might serve as an inspiration for our Riverfront Park check out Little Island Park in New York City. Of course it was financed by very wealthy folks but I could see something "like" th…

The Graduate Hotel has put up a nice new sign on the top floor facing Grand River, it has a stylish script letters, I believe the hotel is close to opening. I like the look of this building and that is stands out from the others in this development.…

I guess that would be the hotel project talked about several years ago? It seems like a great spot for a hotel. Any building of some height would really stand out on the high bank of the river. I am not down there to report about it anymore, but I …

I may be wrong about this but I believe that they were beginning to pull up some of the black top behind the Red Lobster for the drain project. This is a very interesting project to me, I noticed that the earth scaping in the park looks nearly finis…

That is interesting news, who bought that site?

When we were looking at apartments at the Newman Lofts were shown one that looked out on this area, I asked about the construction that is visible in this photo behind the hotel as I thought it may be the beginning of the credit union building, the …
