I thought one point they made about how the use of local stone and bricks that give a building local references are being replaced by mass-produced metal and plastic panels made in Eastern Europe and used all over the world. I understand spreadsheet…

It was a coincidence that I took a good look at some of the buildings going up around town when I read in the City Pulse that they had done the same. They critique some of the recent architectural trends reflected here, from good The Stadium Apartme…

We have reason to be a little concerned when progress seems to stall here in Lansing, they talk about some projects so long it's almost miraculous to see them get underway.
-
I am not sure if the project has a page, I can't remember the name[The Metro?:} so I'll say at the old "Y" site there is rebar in place and cement being poured for foundations. Soon the buildings will be growing out of all that dirt they have been m…

Work is continuing on the older buildings on the campus. There is for sale sign in front of the house there, which may mean that the half-way house plan is not happening. It would be a great idea to rebuild the sidewalks and streets that connect …

I took a bone-rattling trip to the PO on Collins Rd. and then to Bell's Pizza, [huge car eating potholes everywhere!] from Bells I could get a good view of The Hub. It looks huge but seems to be fitting into its space. There a lot of big windows whi…

Good news that GM is planning on building the model Cadillac here at the Grand River Plant. I was surprised to hear that it would be a passenger car, not an SUV or crossover. I guess that GM to still wants to build cars, so there still must be a mar…

I heard the end of a radio news program Sunday am in which a fellow from I assume to be from Urban Systems [I think that's the company name] talking about the developments they are planning for the Lake Side block and beyond. I only caught the end o…

This all seems haphazard in the way the city plans road repairs/repaving. Pine St. has about six different surface conditions from newly paved to very poor potholes across whole lanes. This seems crazy to me. The same thing on Mt. Hope, now with poo…

Now I understand this better, thanks for posting. It seems that its economics over interesting attractive design in most of these buildings. I may be mistaken but it looks like the sticks they are using for the EL highrises are metal, used it the sa…

Great news, that building is really an eyesore right now. I think it is great fun and interesting to watch these buildings, one by one, businesses and developers are finding new uses for buildings that seemed beyond usefulness. The southside is were…

I got a new bike for Christmas which I know jinxes the spring weather, but once it turns nice I will take a bike tour to see the campus, some of the features are in place I believe.

Yes, Pleasent Grove was a Lansing public elementary school k-6. A lot of kids I went to Dwight Rich JHS with came from Pleasent Grove. Students who lived in Church Hill Downs and that area went there. It was kind of the edge of town back than past H…

I have not been through the campus in a while, has this plan been built?

Another interesting article in The City Pulse talking about a study that is being funded for a new performing arts center somewhere downtown. It noted there is one developer all ready to jump in on this. It also noted a couple of PAC's that have bee…

This depiction looks good. I wonder why they put out those other drawings a while ago just to see if we were paying attention? I think these facades will catch and reflect the sunlight from the west. It looks like a good balance of brick and glass.
-
This seems misguided and unfair. Is another brewery what we need in our public market? Why would the city want one operation out for basically the same kind of business replacing the one business that made it in that building? I have to wonder about…

I look at the stacks every day they are right outside my window and I have never seen this angle, but the logo is fine with me! Just a little basic. I have been wondering if they could use the cement stacks as a core/base for a building around the s…
-
The new logo is OK, but when I first saw it I did not think "oh that is a reference to the 3 smokestacks", they are all the same height for one thing. There is a jewelry company named Effy that uses a very similar font and logo. To me, if you are go…

I can wait to see it!
