  • It is so far back I never noticed it until this weekend!
  • Yes, the New Detroit is really exciting and unexpected. Only ten years ago most Americans thought Detroit was a dystopian hell-scape, never to return from the ashes. Of course, they were wrong then and would be amazed to see a building like this goi…
  • I recently saw a report from South Florida that sea level rise is starting to affect the expensive homes and their values, on the local waterways and canals. The report said that some are having a difficult time selling their homes and have had to l…
  • The new trees that I noticed where on the east side of the street a couple right in front of The Daily Bagel, there could be more up the street. I think it's true that these lotus trees had reached the end of their lifespan. I think these trees coul…
  • I just noticed that the new Dollar General Store has opened on S. Cedar. It sits way back from the street with parking and some grass! out front. When I drive down that way I often think about why I like it better than W. Saginaw, I think that most …
  • I'm not sure why they like to be coy about these announcements, I wish they would announce these projects when they are ready to start. I wonder what was in this place before, it did not look very nice. On my walk down to get some bagels this mor…
  • 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…
  • I used to go there when I was a starving student, back in the day the Ingham County Health Department was there and provided health services to low-income folks for free if I remember correctly. The Health Department was thought of as one of the bes…
  • 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 think there could be a truck haul route to the landfill/concrete factories and using access from N. East Street/old 27 up from Lansing and down from I-69. Get at least some of those trucks off of Lake Lansing Road.
  • 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…
  • This is a huge area, are they in the process of moving out? I noticed they seem to be cleaning up the pole-yard right next to the trail. There is a huge communications tower in the middle of that lot, seems like that would have to be moved before an…
  • 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…
  • I think that this developer would be open to ideas about this project. There are many parking lots in Lansing that have the best view of the river. I know this is the way Lansing was built, the rivers were the outback for dumping and industrial use …
