Over on W. Barnes Ave, I had a friend who lived in this building in the '70s. I don't remember much except it was old fashion and the views out the back windows were full of trees and overlooked the florist shop gardens and hot-house where the commu…

The rose garden at Frances Park is in full bloom right now. They have really a lot of blooms this year and have benefited from all the work they have done over there the past two years. The rest of the garden looks great as well with all the seasona…

I got a better look at the new Amtrak locomotives today, very sleek and a nice paint job. I also saw that there were a couple of new looking passenger cars as well. My building has a great view of the Washington Avenue rail crossing to the south. It…

Just another little note about our streets. The center median of Pennsylvania between Mt. Hope and the zoo is all in bloom right now and looks really nice. The annuals they have been planting really filled in and are very pretty. Now if they could f…

Yes, I wish they took the whole structure down. Like I said our parking ramps have the best addresses downtown, and I thought perhaps another type of building could have had that space on the riverfront. That being said I think this is one of the be…

I think on MKL the two outside lanes of the five are in very bad shape and need more extensive repair, they also seem to have cement pavements that are different than the three inside lanes which seem to have asphalt pavements. Mich just noted that!…

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…

I hate to hear the statement," they are cutting down all the trees!". Maybe they thought no one would notice out there. I'm sure more pavement is on the way.

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…

Maybe they had a change in management over there. The grounds and buildings seem to be well taken care of, at least it looks that way from across the river. The Main Street name might have been confusing because there is no Main Street. As summer ap…

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 …

On my drive, I noticed the [one of the?] elevator structure had been built and also that this is a huge site. I hope they do it well.

I had to go out to Okemos for an appointment which was in the Jolly and Okemos road area and this first time I have had reason to go there. Looks like a large hotel is going up out there. Anyway, I went home via Collins Road and Forest Road. They ha…

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!

This has gone from a pothole filled city parking lot to this huge building in what seems like a short time it is pretty amazing. I agree that the brickwork is very nice and the way they have "hidden" the parking structure is one of the best examples…

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…
