Up at the wall, they have been doing a lot of planting mostly perennial shrubbery, looks nice. I hope more trees along S.Washington are coming. They are also constructing a nice chrome[?] railing along the walkway above the river bank. I always rem…

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.

Are parking lots so lucrative that "developers" just sit on these huge areas of downtown and rake in parking fees? Building owners are required to keep up their property why do these lot owners get away with these eyesores? I may be wrong but it se…

I will enjoy seeing this one go up as I will be going to the Meijer store often. Thinking about the traffic pattern, it seems like if you want to leave the parking area and head south or westbound you will have to leave via a left on to Michigan Ave…

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 was never much of an attraction. Basically, it was a metal sided pole barn/warehouse with bench seating. Being used to the Civic Center and Munn the building felt cheap and unattractive, it did not have the facade back then. Even at the height of…

I read in LSJ that a group is renovating the former Metro Arena. I had no idea it was still standing. Sexton had a hockey "club" over there for a couple of years in the '70s. My buddies from Quentin Park [where we learned to skate] were on the team.…

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…

I am liking this one more and more, it is interesting to see a different approach to a four-story apartment building and the roof treatment is much better than the overhanging slabs so often used, I am hoping this signals the end to that trend.
-
These plans look OK for the location, that being said it looks pretty much run of the mill, not much of interest in design.
-
While understanding that this was perhaps a malfunction, it is unacceptable that the city has offered no explanation and uses an alarm that gives an announcement that is frightening and no one can understand. It looks like this false alarm scared pe…

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 …

I wrote to the Mayor as I do not know who is in charge of this alarm. Maybe lightening set it off, let me tell you it is loud in REOtown. "The Dam is Bursting Alarm" is kind of my title, as I really can not understand what it says except the words "…

I was alarmed by the "the dam is bursting" alarm that went off about twenty times last night during the heavy thunderstorm that was passing, and then more after. I can understand if it was malfunctioning, or whatever happened, the thing is the annou…

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…

The BWL has removed the barriers from the Washington Avenue side of the great wall. It looks OK. It will be nice to use that sidewalk again.
-
Oh, I thought I had the big news! On my walk today I noticed the new signs in the window. Seems like a good move the building is quite large and has off street parking. I think this may the first time I have heard of businesses moving from East Lans…

The Good Truckin'Diner is very popular especially on nice days and the weekends. It is also very small so will people wait for tables as the food is great. If you were over here on Sunday you would see hundreds of people going the Riverside Church. …

The bar is named "Lucky's " and it's Cory's with a "C" just to be correct! What's good at Cory's anyway? There are always a lot of cars parked there. In hindsight, it would have been a better neighborhood if they set all the new industrial buildings…
