The rehab of the Black Cat Cafe is moving along, it looks like there will be an adobe exterior, and pitched roof facade over the door. I believe the name is Los Tres Tex-Mex ? they had a sign up but took it down for the exterior work. It is interest…

I was just kind of dreaming about a possible route, couldn't NIBYs be over ruled as the sidewalk to the street belongs to the city?

The new part of the trail by Frances Park has a similar steep bank so they did build retaining walls there, I wonder why it would be so impossible to build a wall or boardwalk along the eastern side of Moores River Drive. I think there is enough spa…

I looked a Dave's Hot Chicken's menu and they are another fried chicken tenders place with 14 levels of spice. I have recently figured out that a lot of young people do not like chicken with bones [my niece and nephew won't eat chicken with bones] I…

I think the green lanes are a good idea, however the city only painted the lanes in front of the two loading zones in front of the Newman Lofts building. I guess it is green, so people won't park across the bike lanes. It looks a little odd.

Great I can't wait to try Dave's; I know I will be smelling the restaurant cooking up all those fries and chicken tenders. We get all the cooking odors from the many restaurants that surround us. I know! I live in the middle of downtown EL, it's onl…

Signage was put up on the westside store front of the Newman/Parking ramp building. Get ready! it will be another chicken restaurant called Dave's Hot Chicken. I guess there is a lot of money to be made selling chicken these days! There was a LA Cal…

I was downtown yesterday and saw a huge crane removing a very large piece of machinery from the roof of the building at the southwest side of Washington and Michigan. [I don't know the name] I was wondering if this may be the beginning of the redeve…

The storefront next to the Jackson Building has renewed activity, it looks like they are prepping for the second-floor expansion. The Campus Corner site has been totally cleared out to the joists; I don't know what is going in there. The two spaces …

It will be great to see the hilltop there fully developed. I was out that way and noticed the construction of a Panda Express and the east side if Eastwood right next to the highway. I am sure there of a lot of people who love Panda Express, but doe…

East Lansing has installed maybe a dozen blue screens on pedestals all around downtown, with three in the small park at Albert and Abbot which seems like a lot for a corner lot sized park. I guess they are some sort of information device/screen. The…

I have looked at this wall art and it depicts the letters MSU. OK not super imaginative but better than a blank wall!

The white board that I noticed on the MSUFCU building was a templet for a wall sculpture. The sculpture is nice looking, with large green swirls of metal with different finishes. It is not illuminated at least not yet. Across the street the Black C…

Tuesday a crew was putting up what looked to be white board for a mural on the new credit union building on Abbot. Yesterday they took all the white boards down! I wonder why. Today there is a crew doing something and Abbot south bound is closed aga…

I understand, I used to think the mid-century building was so cool with the fountain in the lobby and the huge modern spaces, if they asked me I would have kept the old stone City Hall before the '50's version was built. It was also a very interesti…
-
Yes, it was built in the '60s and was Lansing's first [I believe] muti-story parking ramp and was thought of as very modern and a great addition to downtown. There is one on MSU's campus near the Administration building that was built around the sam…

That is good, two huge pot shops on the same block, was a very bad idea. I think a better plan would be for the developer to build their outdoor amities over the Grand Ave ramp overlooking the river and the city lease a few floors to them for priva…

I am bit surprised by the reaction to this plan. It may not be the perfect solution, but I think it is pretty Lansing positive in using a historic building keeping City Hall downtown on Capitol Ave... I don't enough about the use of a private develo…

The city announced that they are going to renovate the Masonic Temple for a new City Hall. I really like this plan.

I was writing about the former book/Spartan gear shop [next to the bubble tea shop] behind the fountain on Grand River, the space next to the Jackson Building does have something going on but is all boarded up so I can't see what they are doing, see…
