I know I should link these stories but I do not know how!. On the Lansing history Facebook page, they are talking about the Civic Center, many have very fond memories of that place. It would be important as you say to make this new project a civic…

I had read that Mayor said there could be an announcement about a PAC before the new year, and the people from Urban Systems[?] saying they have the land to do this now and that such a facility would not cost the city much money. Perhaps he meant th…

I have been wondering if anyone has any thoughts or insights about this potential development? Mayor Andy said an announcement could be coming in the next few days.

An Interesting article on LJS.com about the idea of building a performing arts center in downtown Lansing! This could be a part of a new hotel conference center. The PAC would be in addition to the Adado Park stage plan and the under the bridge venu…

That is a good one!

I hope they will find at least one new name for these two developments, Park Place and The Park District are too similar and hard to keep straight which development is being discussed. I would think that shadow canyons[you can see the shadow effect …

You have brought up a very good point. My old neighborhood park Quentin had restrooms and a nice brass [beat up by ice skates] drinking fountain. I think many parks in Lansing had restrooms. I could see using the modern park and street restrooms lik…

I went to the new liquor store which was very nice but still just a liquor store. I would have liked some other sort of business to move in there but it is certainly better than a closed gas station. It is really great that local groups are steppin…

I have been in a couple of discussions about the I- 496 project and its effects on the city and the people who lived in the path of the highway on the Lansing Historical Society's Facebook page. It is very interesting to hear the stories of people a…

Of course, there is some sense to all of these facilities, they would not be building them if not. They do not really add anything to a community, but at least these buildings will have found some use and pay taxes. It is very liberating to get rid …

As most people in Lansing live in single family homes it seems kind of weird that folks have so much stuff they can not fit into their own homes. I guess people just want to keep their stuff forever. When I moved here I got rid of a ton of stuff and…

It is great news to hear. I am hoping to hear the same news about the Red Cedar project soon. There will be a lot of folks working in the building trades.

I was implying the EL city council feels the students are pesky and need be regulated, I do not feel that way. It would be best if they let the market decide who rents and what gets built in EL. Also, as I am trying to do, look at East Lansing as a …

While wanting a diverse community is a good goal, forcing these "anti-one group" restrictions seems unfair and not good for developers. There would not be much to East Lansing without those pesky students. Our building in Lansing offers nine-month l…

I heard the owner of the auto service business on the radio talking about how excited he is to see this development next to his business. While it will be very "Lansing" to have a service garage next to a new hotel, I wish he would have sold his spo…

Oh, there are lots of good skyline views, like on the near east side from Art's on W. Kalamazoo. Westbound on Michigan Ave from behind the SJC Building and the Capitol dome is cool framed by trees on the west side.. Down at the riverfront park looki…

I was flipping through a Motor Trend Magazine at my barber shop when I noticed a promotional photo of a Lexus [I think] turning onto Michigan Ave. with the Capitol and downtown skyline in the background. I think it is interesting that ad photographe…

The wide streets that we have in Lansing could lend themselves to linear parks or "pedestrian greenways". Greenways that connect the developing districts that provide beauty, shade, and safety. In some places, they could include dedicated bike/scoot…

The mall was put built in 1973 and lasted until 2007, over thirty years was a pretty good run. I am glad that the city saw it was time for a change. I could see the urban centers that were emptied out like Lansing's become the place folks want to li…
-
It's true that the mall did "have to" fail. I think if they had built the shopping center and office tower that was planned for the 100 block there would have been a lot more people and activity on the mall. My point is that the arcitects and City p…
