  • I was impressed by that 4.2% figure, all of this building starts to make sense!
  • This huge open space was just for the public to appreciate and pass through. I think it was designed to be the opposite of the Old City Hall.
  • Hey, sub--- Lansing is also home to some very nice pot shops, I suggest you find someone with a card to get you some and smoke it! You need to chill out! I grew up in Lansing [when it was racist] I lived elsewhere for thirty years and returned to my…
  • Just a side note! The new maintenance man at my building had been working at the Skyvue building and told me he quite there because the workload was just too much as the building has many defects, and now that people actually live there they have to…
  • Does this indicate that the development is going to be built in two phases? I noticed the "future use" area on the right.
  • When I was a kid I thought the building looked like the U.N.! I was only here that one time for jury duty, there were many brakes in the trial and this is where they sent the jury to wait.
  • I voted for Welcoming Hands, I think it is interesting to look at and would not block the view of the Capitol. There is a depiction in a light blue as well as red so maybe it can change colors or we can choose any color. I think we have a giant head…
  • Yes, it is not very exciting. To me it seems dated. I'm hoping the 500 block, of S.Washington, will be a more interesting and better-designed development. The Urban Systems people seem more interested in creating a building that is worthy of its ad…
  • I agree, the drawings I have seen look uninspired in that "it's good enough for Lansing" kind of way. I really hate that! Are these drawing depicting the project today? It seems like these drawings are a couple of years old. We can always hope for b…
  • I have answered my own question, I saw workers repaving the entire River Trail near the Elm Street bridge yesterday. I know it is terribly nerdy but seeing this made me so happy! Sometimes it is discouraging to wait so long to see these projects sta…
  • This is a great sight! How long have they been talking about doing this since '06?
  • Over here on the REOtown section of the trail, they have begun rebuilding the collapsed bank near GM and the trail is closed there. They have also replaced many cedar planks on all the bridges in this area. I am wondering if they are rebuilding real…
  • I agree that this route seems not right, they could call this train route "The Hipster" service from fancy Ann Arbor to fancy Traverse City/Petoskey! I bet Governor Snyder would be on the first train. This route reminds me of the roads up there, t…
  • I have been reading about a plan for high-speed rail service between Ann Arbor and Traverse City. This sounds like a great idea but the planned route bypasses Lansing to the east. It seems like Durand is the place this new route will cross the CN tr…
  • Thank you for posting this. I was last there about 40 years ago so I remembered the fountain but not how it worked! Looks kind of cool with the reflections on the marble wall, for some reason we like building fountains but then have a hard time main…
  • They seem quite similar to the busses we have now maybe with rounded edges. The last time I remember a big change in bus design that I thought was cool and futuristic was when CATA went from the old 60's style chrome paneled buses to the sleek all w…
  • Looks like fun It's cool the kept the bank vault and the mid-century modern feel. I think that The Bank of Lansing built that building, many of their branch buildings were nicely designed.
  • This is so interesting, first JFK going down Michigan Ave. in a convertible Olds did not seem to cause much of a reaction from the folks of that day. Also in these classic photos, Downtown looks full of buildings and businesses of all kinds. I do re…
  • The news about "The Wing" is very interesting. These guys are for real it would seem. I think the location will be challenging and I think that that is what the developers are looking for [as in people will want to live Here?!} and the fact this inv…
  • It is too bad they did not just incorporate the old into the new, it is interesting to see a building fitting into the Plaza space. I guess they could build a hotel there. Our history is why we should not really compare Lansing with cites like Ann …
