There is a new video featuring the new Market Place Apartments on lsj.com. It says that is is going to be a restaurant open to everyone there. Maybe it will have a river view.

It is really great that they are repaving Walnut and Pine streets. I wish they would just go up and down every street downtown with that milling machine. Capitol Ave is really bad from one end to the other. This may sound unlikely but I wonder if…

There are a lot of what if's. I think that the college could have grown out of the Sparrow Nurses School and created a "college town" along East Michigan and back into the Eastern High/Boys Reform school area. The farms for the college might have be…

It is great to see a project actually getting underway.

I am hoping that the next project Gillespie builds will be better and of more quality than the Marketplace. I think color can be good without looking kind of cheap. I have not seen the 3rd phase drawings in the window lately, but they depicted the s…

I wonder what projects the Mayor is talking about? The changing skyline is very interesting.

I found a book in the library about the history of Lansing, titled "Lansing, Capital, Campus, and Cars". I found the story it presents, of our history very interesting and well written. I found it especially interesting that there was nothing really…

I am not a big fan of the colorful siding, but I think visitors will remember these buildings and think of Lansing as a colorful place. I have not really traveled around much since I moved back to Lansing, so I don't know are they building this type…

I read on the Mayor's site that they are slowing down this process to put together a plan that includes the police courts and lock-up facilities. The Mayor thinks and I would agree that all of these issues should be planned before moving forward wit…

I heard on local radio news that the mayor is holding a news conference today about the City Hall project, the headline of the story was "Is the City Hall Project coming to a sketching stop"!... I wonder what's up?

Art's Bar on Kalamazoo is looking good with the new windows and doors on the building. Looks like they will have an outdoor patio with a big overhead door in front.

I think the case in Boston is that the new growing Seaport area is on a peninsula across the harbor from downtown, with traffic choke points at the bridges. Go over those points without adding more traffic to the street level is the idea. It was jus…

The LSJ wrote that they are taking another look at building a new courthouse and police facility behind the current courthouse [formerly Auto Owners] building. There is a half block wide parking lot there so there would be room if they build up some…

I saw an interesting idea being proposed in Boston on the boston.com page. They are considering building an overhead gondola "ski style" cable car system that will connect the expanding Sea Port District[South Boston] with Downtown. The traditional …

I am very happy to hear that they are are making plans to improve the downtown riverfront.The public/private funding is not really encouraging, but it seems like some companies have already pledged funds so maybe it will work. I hope this is a chanc…

It is interesting to think about how downtown Lansing would be different if the University were located downtown, or if East Lansing had a layout that surrounded the campus as do many campus towns. I think this is the site to consider such thoughts …

You can find that article at Curbed Detroit.

I read about a very interesting project called The Great Lakes Hyperloop. Cleveland to Chicago in 28 minutes! Via a tube with magnetic levitation "trains". Let's get Lansing in that loop!
-
I read where Lansing is the number one affordable {mid sized} city to live, in the whole country! That is pretty cool, that is one reason I live here. Maybe having the worst streets to drive on helps to keep home values "affordable".
-
That is great news! Maybe we will get some new drawings or new ideas for the design. I guess Lansing is happy with lowrise buildings, which is fine really. it is kind of a distinction of our city. I hope they will build low rise buildings that are o…
