I can understand taking down the over the street section, I do remember it now that I see this photo Ugly!, did they lower the ramp so as to not loom over the new building? Then they turned around and said it was OK to build another [although better…

Oh yes, that house does stand out from the neighborhood because of it's Federalist [Greek revival] style. It also has a large lot maybe it was a farmhouse on the edge of town when it was built. I seem to remember something about a Governor living th…

This looks great. As I was out of town for about 30 years I have been wondering about what happened to this structure. Why does it seem that the elevator structure is three stories taller than the building? It would great if they also renovated the …

Which house is that? I could be wrong! but I thought the oldest house was 1214 Center Street in Old Town. What is The General Consulate of Morrocan Empire? it sounds like they located in the wrong Capital City. It always pops up on my googlemaps.com…

I think East Town works maybe "Lansing East Town" would make a distinction between East Town and East Lansing, but I definitely think the area should be one of our Towns.

It is true that most things are not all good or all bad, 496 and M-99 were thought of as necessary, and it is understandable why they built them where they did. I was just noting that the neighborhood in the film was not a scary crime-ridden ghetto …

Even though wines with too much tannin can me chock:} I will look forward to trying the calamari, have not had any since I left Mass... You could catch them [squid] right off the town wharf so they were very fresh! but not fun to clean. Very inky!

I believe the gas station was at the northwest side of St. Joe and Butler Blvd. and could be still standing at that corner. Or it could be on the other end of the street at Butler and Saginaw. When I was a kid in the '60s we were taught never go thi…

This looks pretty good. I agree it reminds me of the new Willow Street Apartment building. I think they look Lansing "style", and will fit nicely into the neighborhood.

I was into "Lansing Development" stuff when I was a nerdy kid and I remember this plan. It actually seemed more attractive than the more drastic modern buildings that were to replace the building altogether. This plan would have covered up and loome…

It sure would make a lot of sense to renovate such a nice old home, I could see it being used perhaps as a Lansing History Museum, or even a Lansing/Michigan African American History Museum. For most of the 20th Century, this neighborhood was the ce…

These plans look OK for the location, that being said it looks pretty much run of the mill, not much of interest in design.

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…
