I go by this building often and I noticed some renovation going on in the front of the building nearest to S Washington. That may be the area this new business is moving into. I would like to see the owners of this complex restore the Washington Ave…

I have this idea of planting a forest of trees along both sides of the 127 embankments with a pedestrian/bike paths along be the street level on the east and west sides. They would lead directly to the cross streets into Frandor without crossing so …

Thanks, it was pretty cool to live in such an old house except it was pretty drafty in the winter. This house was what they called a "floated over house" or "Long Point House" at one time part of the town was on Long Point which is at the very tip o…

Cross your fingers and knock on wood the Red Cedar project passed city council last night and will start this summer along with the drain project it could be a very nice area in a few years. I have noted here before that Frandor could lay out a la…

More good news for REOtown. The depiction is nice. I wish they would pull up about half of the block-long parking lot behind here. It seems like it is very large for such a small building. I know that rarely happens.

I never saw the taco place open, I used to think it was only open for bar hours. I am not downtown so much at night so who knows? The pizza place could be a success there are not any "good" pizza restaurants downtown other than a slice of Grand Ma s…

Thanks for the info... Yes, that is the '60s facade on that building, I wonder what was there before it became offices. On Sunday I had a chance to drive down W Barnes Ave, they are rebuilding several blocks of the street, but of course, it stops r…

Thanks that is interesting. Out on the Cape they used to do that for historical structures. Tear down everything but the outside walls and add a lot of bump outs and dormers to make condo spaces out of single-family houses. During the construction, …

Due to one of the better mmj shops being down there I have been traveling S. Cedar to Edgewood Blvd to get my meds [it works!] a lot lately. I noticed they tore down the former smokehouse restaurant on the corner all except for one cinderblock wall.…

Yes, that Speed Wagon building is gross. I think they just closed one day and left everything in there. That would be great to have a nice four corners of retail and housing at that intersection. The good pavement starts about two blocks up W Barnes…

I was also out to the PO and noticed the work going on. To me this project symbolizes what happened in the past, people leaving, the recession businesses going down, a huge motel like this left to become an eyesore, now being transformed into new La…

You raise a good point. Just what is it that makes people think to have students included as potential tenants, is such a bad thing? It's true that Lansing should have a "college town" on the east side. I have heard that several years ago when Coole…

From the start, this had been one of those "I can't believe they are building it projects". It is going to be a very nice place to live with all the green space and it sits kind of on an axis of several different neighborhoods so it will be convenie…

A foundation pouring update from Lenawee Street! The new one I saw this week is for the front of the building and is kind of complex, i.e. not a straight line, it looks interesting. I have hope that this development will have a nice "downtown" feeli…

I like that plan. It is much better than the huge cement structure they built for the Skyvue which you can see for miles from every nearly every direction. Seeing the cars parked in that one is about the only way one can tell there are people rentin…

So many great construction jobs with all of this development going on. It is going to take some time to get used to these massive buildings. I have enjoyed watching them go up. I was wondering where is the parking for The Hub? I can not see where it…

This is good news. The city responded [I wrote to the Mayor directly] to my request to repaint the lane markings for the new 3 lane configuration alining the old with the new pavement by Pattengill. Even though they are going to repave this area soo…

Here in REOtown the former Speed Wagon store on S Washington and W Barnes Ave looks like it is being renovated. They should tear it down and start over. This with the clean up going on across the street are really good signs of interest in this neig…

I am looking forward to going to the Meijers here. I am over going to Krogers on Holmes and S. Washington. Just yesterday I was advised by the cashier to duck for cover in fear of guns coming out during a fight between to women. I don't know what it…

I was by Pleasent Grove and Holmes Rd and noticed the small supermarket there had renovated the exterior of the building. Looks good. I also noticed the new duplexes going up. Pretty much run of the mill in design but it is really great to see the n…
