I had been thinking they were going to build another building fronting Cedar St. maybe this is the start of that project.

That is a lot of blacktop, too bad about that other parcel, what was in those buildings anyway? I can not remember what was there something like a K-mart with an auto-service in the side building? In the way old days there was a trailer park in that…

As an adult I was only in the building for an extended time was when I served jury duty, it was a trial for a man who shot and killed a Lansing Policeman at Frandor. I am pretty sure the two buildings were connected which may have been a basement pa…

Thank for all this interesting info... Even though I can still not imagine why there is such a huge market for storage space it sounds like this will really improve the property. Is the smaller former garage building to the east of the main building…

There used to be a building next door of similar architecture the was called the Board of Water and Light Building which may have had a connection to City Hall. You could pay your bill there and bring in burnt out lightbulbs and they would replace t…

Seems like a not all bad thing but! This building is in a park next to a formal garden, where is going to store his "merchandise" in the rooms of the house? It is good to see the house will find some use and not torn down but this is quite a downfal…

I am thinking as I may have said before, perhaps there could be a sort anti-blight ordinance that would require some sort of buffering of surface lots next to streets, landscaping decorative walls, no cyclone fences etc. if you want to have your lot…

I live in a building built in 1964 and across the street from one built in 1924 they both front the street our's with a fountain, and have parking in the rear. It is not impossible and I would think sighting buildings on the street front with a side…

Thanks for the information. It seems like there will be a lot of folks living on the south side of downtown in a year or two! I think it would be cool to create a linear park from Kalamazoo down to Malcome X along S. Washington. The street is so wid…

I like that spot for a new City Hall location. It would fill in a large part of the "parking crater" that Lansing has become famous for! I also like the site I saw a while back, further to the south near Hillsdale. That spot would pull downtown all …

This guy talks like it's 1999! It would be great to have all this workout but I think Lansing would get along just fine without him. I would like to actually see the City Hall remain where it is and build a courthouse and jail over on Lenawee next t…

Is the container apartment court inside the warehouse on Hazel and Hosmer still happening? That would bring some people to the south.
-
That is interesting news. This area may be moving in a good direction, Art's Pub has been a great success, the food is really good there and they are always busy. There is a great skyline view from their dining room. I could see this part of the tow…

Looks really great. This kind of gives me an idea what the BWL could do with the Eckert Plant.
-
In a sculptural sense, they are graceful if not gigantic, and I understand and applaud the reason they are there. I am hoping they do not go further north then Clare, where the landscape changes to "Up North".

Here on S.Washington, there is overnight parking allowed[I don't know if it is offical] on the 900 blocks. The street is very wide here so it causes no problems. I think that overnight parking could work on many streets. A resident only parking syst…

I hope you are correct in saying perhaps they will not be there very long. They seem to have gone up very quickly and easily maybe they can come down as fast. I just went by there today and the new ones are so huge, and I have not heard anything lik…

This is just a point of interest [I hope] while traveling up to my cabin up north on US 127 I have been watching a new array of windmills being erected between Alma and Mt. Pleasent on the eastern side. They are much larger than the older array near…
-
Wow, I think this could be a good development for the Greater Lansing area as I am trying to think about all the developments going on just outside the city limits. I believe that most folks who do not live here call the whole place Lansing. There…

Yes linking our three classic downtowns with a free and easy shuttle would be even better. Maybe add an east-west loop through the outer Capitol Complex and crossing the north-south loop downtown and going out to Sparrow and back. My bright idea abo…
