I was glad to hear the city is going after the former owner for the money they stole while leaving this building to fall apart. Very bad Spartans! I hope they do not own that title anymore. I also hope this a for real we are building not dreaming p…

Was it "cool" to live out there at one time? I only hear about shootings fires and worse going on out there. I remember when I lived in Mass. watching Spartan games and seeing the ad for Chandler Crossings on the side court ad wall. I checked where …

Reading this article reminds me of the family and the neighborhood connection to our schools was very important, creating an identity a place of common cause and interest. I can relate to this feeling as my Dad went to Barnes Ave and Lansing Central…

Yup, that's the one. This was the '75 flood I believe, which was a really big one. That is a very Mod design for a gas station. I think it would have been a good idea back then to either protect this area with maybe a dike or levee or just move all …

It looks like Greater Lansing is going to have an impressive number of hotel rooms available. There are about six or seven hotels being built now or will start soon. Even as I write that it seems unbelievable. I realize that the further out they bu…

I remember those signs, this one was next to Fisher Body on W. Michigan Ave. Artistically it is a nice logo.

We had a "flexible space" at the Civic Center, they could fit a whole three-ring circus in the Civic Center elephants and all. Looking back on it I think we should have kept the Civic Center even if we did build the Lansing Center. I know it was a d…

All winter there was no rotary at Beal and Barnes the old one had been removed. This spring they reconstructed a new circle at Beal. I have not been down Smith lately but they had removed a rotary on that street too, maybe it's also been rebuilt. Th…

I was excited to see all the traffic cones on this part of Pennsylvania Ave, in hopes of seeing a really bad section being repaved.[I know I should look at the repaving plan] It was the flower project which is very good, think how nice it would look…

Barnes Avenue School was a big part of the neighborhood along with the St. Casimir School all the kids stayed in the neighborhood for school. I'm not sure if any of the students at the El Shabaaze School are from the neighborhood. I never see any st…

Thank you for the interesting information, I believe most of the neighborhood in that area was developed in the 1910s and '20s, my Dad grew up on Delevan Street and went to Barnes Ave, which was built in 1919. There is a really nice house at 1814 De…

This is great news. I have been waiting to hear about this one since I moved back here in '15, it really is a nice building and finally, it is going to get a new life. [I hope]

Just a note from REOtown, they seem to be beefing up parking enforcement on S. Washington Ave. I am not sure if there is a time limit for the 1000 block up, I know there is not one for the 900 blocks, there has been a parking enforcement person down…

I agree, look at these bricks still in place after decades of use as the foundation for the asphalt paving. Properly installed I believe bricks are less susceptible to making potholes because they do not fall apart in freezing weather and can allow …

As a kid, I went to some events like pancake suppers in this building. I think it was called the Macedonian Hall[could be wrong!] like the Polish Hall up the street, is one of the older buildings on W. Mt Hope. I am looking forward to driving on thi…

I was in this neighborhood yesterday looking at a nice little house for sale on Butler Blvd. There are a lot of nice houses and some that could use some work. In all, it is a pretty nice area, if the city would pave the streets that would sure help.…

Today at the LSJ.com site they talk about the Park Place development. It is confusing to me, as to why they have changed the plans so radically and come up with something less appealing and much smaller. Have "market forces" changed so much, is it t…

I think they watch the posts here. Today there is also one of their 'Projects to Watch' articles. It is kind of interesting that they did not cover all the projects, that we have more than six big projects going up here is very impressive to me.

I saw the elevator structure is going up on the corner of Lenawee and Townsend. Looks taller than I remember from looking at the drawings. Great to see this building going up. The park looked really nice as well with the daffodils blooming around th…

It may not be new to everyone but I found some very interesting construction project videos on youtube from "The B1M". the videos make it look like every country in the world except the US has super-sized development and infrastructure projects happ…
