On the Capitol, I noticed that they have entirely surrounded the building with a fence and are digging up part of the front lawn. I assume it is part of the geothermal well project. Are there plans for the re-landscaping of the lawn that have been p…

It would be great if we had another industry to replace GM in our community but I am pretty sure that while maybe not growing, they will be here for a long time to come. What I would like to see is the land that GM has left, and the huge surface lot…

I do not agree that most GM workers are poorly educated and lack skills. These folks have to do much of their work on computers and with robotic machines. Their work requires intelligence and skill. They build very intricately sophisticated vehicles…

I agree that Lansing is positioned to do very well in the next decade. The area seems to already be a draw from both cities that have little growth or opportunity, and from places that have become just too expensive to live comfortably. I often ask …

I stopped by to see the sculpture, and I found it to be very cool, and interesting to look at. It is easy to walk around it and seems to there to stay as it attached to the ground below the bridge. I would guess we will find out who paid for this at…

On another subject, I saw a notice from the city asking people to participate in planning an amphitheater in Adado Park. I have said here before that it would be great if the amphitheater were designed to be visited at times other than during shows.…

I was not annoyed! I guess that I may be just a bit jealous of Ann Arbor because it is nice there. It's where the Governor prefers to live! I am also a Spartan so it is difficult to say something nice!

Sorry I could not get a good photo of the drawings through the windows. One thing I did notice was the area that looks like a parking structure is located on the Shiawassee side of the "new corner building" between the corner and the current newly c…

I was speaking of being part of the ring of wealth and population that surrounds Detroit of which Ann Arbor is a part. I know that Ann Arbor itself is a smaller city, but it is older and has a densely populated center, which makes it seem larger.

Speaking of cool, I saw photos of a new sculpture downtown on Michigan Ave and Museum Drive. I saw it on the #lovelansing site. It is a huge stainless steel head with gears springing off the top pointing down to the towards museums. I do not know if…

I think that there may be a bit of truth to the thought that many people who live in Lansing have a poor opinion of our town. I grew up here then moved away for 35 years and moved back. I can tell you that Lansing is a lot "cooler" than 1980, and th…

ok, I'll give a try! The drawing that I am speaking of is projected on a flat screen so photographing through the window might not work too well.

Hey come over to REOtown for lunch, and some shopping and check it out yourself. There is a lot of free parking!

Yes, I have a camera but I do not know how to upload a photo to this site.:{

In the urban renewal days of the 60's and 70's they knocked down about half of downtown Lansing which had dozens of historical beautiful 19th and 20th-century buildings. I would say that being historic or beautiful has not really meant much to this …

The location of City Hall is to some people is symbolic of our local government standing right in front of the powerful State government in a way demanding to be seen right outside the Capitol's windows. The Plaza in the front suffers from the same …

I think it would be a good idea to replace the street and traffic lights along Harrison with more attractive and efficient lights from Mt. Hope to Michigan Ave. While the traffic lights serve to slow traffic in the neighborhood it would be nice if t…

The drawing depicts the area on the west side of Cedar in front of the first and second phases of the development, which is now a parking lot. I believe that there is a parking structure drawn into building further up Cedar from the corner. The corn…

As I walked by the Intrigue storefront in REOtown I noticed a depiction of the Outfield Apartments built out to the corner of Cedar and Shiawassee dated 2017. Are they going to build out the area next to the street soon? It looks "colorful" but grea…

There was a hotel at Michigan and Capitol that was called the Hotel Olds and it was the center of a lot of activity downtown. Then it was called The Jack Tar Hotel but they failed to modernize and the building was sold to the State at some point and…
