There is a drawing of the new brewery on one of these pages, it's painted a cream white with big windows. There is a lot of space so they could do many things inside, I think an outdoor area is planned as well It looks like the key shop is moving a…

I noticed the same thing, I even said wow they are using steel! A little further down the street I also noticed the afternoon shadow over E.Michigan Ave cast by The Avenue building, everywhere else on the street had thawed out in the sun but not on …

The one-way system works OK in Manhattan if you are going uptown or downtown but cross-town can be a real pain. Like, say when you come in from Laguardia you can find yourself in a taxi cab for a very long time. If I was anywhere close to my destina…

It's OK MJ your thoughts are not crazy, I think everyone who reads this blog is frustrated with the pace of some of these things. It is hard to understand just what is holding things up or why someone would end up building a cheap ugly building. Thi…

I like the brainstorming about this site. I have been thinking about this project that seems to be stalled and wishing they would get it going before another economic downturn comes along thanks to that fellow in DC. The current plan is not "that ba…

I think a bigger impact could be made on the Oakland Saginaw and Larch Cedar corridors. Although they are State highways they do not carry the volume of traffic they once did and could carry today's traffic on two-way streets without much trouble. I…

This is good news. They could build a whole new neighborhood in that space. I hope for a high-quality development perhaps a Town Center-type plan but with higher density and a more urban layout the Eastwood. I wish they would also buy out the strip …

There is a nice photo of this building when it was new on the Lansing History facebook page. It was never a flashy design not bad just not very interesting.

Yes, the trees there are really nice, the Oct. 2016 google pictures have some autumn color. Now that I look at more at this the building is situated well in its spot and the parking lot even has some nice trees. I think with the improvements I will …

Some of the pages read proposed for "Meridian Township" Michigan. No big deal to me but wrong.

You bought a Cadillac! thank you very much "here's your Buick" it looks almost the same doesn't it?! I am really disappointed to hear that the city may not be able to "force" the developer to deliver same buildings they "sold" the city. It seems kin…

Thank you for the information about the forests. I thought I had heard that a few spots along the Red Cedar and Sycamore Creek had never been logged because of being in the swamp. Just an old "Indian Story" I guess. It seems like Mr. Moorse of Lan…

I wonder why the developer would try to pull this off? There still seems to be some kind of a jinx on this stop! The no glass design is just so bland and not at all fancy, fancy is what they sold to the council. I would really hate to see this devel…

My windows look out at this building and it has been a long haul for this project. I will enjoy going there and watching all the activity from up here. The Nailed Shop has help wanted signs up so maybe they are going to open soon. There was recent…

I would say that it is true that browns and tans were the colors of choice back then, when I think of it I don't know why except that it was different than the '50's mod-colors more natural I guess? this is a rehab so they are kind of stuck using th…

This "Bear Lake" area must look like what the first settlers saw when they came into this area is what I think when I take the Dunkel Road exit. I never knew there was a lake back there before looking at the site of the new hospital. I wonder if thi…

These are the woods that boys in my neighborhood would "run away" to and also it was a spot for teenage partying and hobo camps. It was considered a dangerous place with trains still running through there. It was known by Schafer's Woods or Lindell'…

I believe as this one looks like it will be a glass-sided it will be reflecting a lot of sunlight into the neighborhood. This may help to mitigate the shadow canyon effect that we are going to find on Albert and Abbot streets area. My apartment fa…

It is rather ironic how fast these other developments have been approved and are rising into the sky. I guess they learned a lesson on how to get these things done. I wish they would share this lesson with the folks developing the Red Cedar project.
