It seems to me that the mayor would do better getting the Red Cedar project underway during his administration as his legacy project, rather than this city hall deal. Moving city hall to a side street on the edge of downtown does not seem like such …

It is true that I have only lived here for a couple of years but it seems like there a lot. During that time I have seen a new self-storage businesses open at the old Ford dealership on MLK and another on Hosmer. Maybe I just do not have a lot of ju…

I like the part where the owner says he did not pay his taxes because he did not like the way the city was treating him. I did not know this was a legal option. I would tend to agree that in this case, something new is better than what is there now.…

That is a great idea!

I do understand the design and orientation of the Hall of Justice, and I think it is an OK building in design. A welcoming western entrance would have been nice for the local Lansing folks who may have wanted to walk there. The idea I was trying t…

I may be wrong! but weren't those blocks originally cleared for the Capitol Complex [is it still called that?]. It is kind of sad that these developers just sit on these properties. Back when The Hall of Justice was built, did anyone say anything ab…

add "see"!

I drove down Grand River Ave from the east for the first time since they tore down the buildings on the 100 block, and I found the open space so pleasant. I could see the whole church building next door, and it was like the campus had expanded acros…

In yea! they repaved this street news, they finally repaved the really bad sections of Moorse River Drive by Frances Park! Just a small area was paved but it's really great to see some of these streets getting some attention. I have only been back h…

There is a Stadium District thread where you can post about this area.

I am sure that most people who read this would know, but I just subscribed to the archives site of the Lansing State Journal. I was looking for stories about my older brother, he was a great athlete at Sexton in the early 60's. On the site you can l…

You put it very well. I was reacting to the story as it seemed to be a done deal, and at least they were planning to use the current building. I was looking at the LSJ building just yesterday, and there really is not much to it, other than a nice sa…

I agree that LED lights are good for lighting streets more brightly, I can see some of them on Elm Street, what I like about them is there is no light going up, over the lamp. When it was snowing the other night it was totally black above the lights…

I am very happy they are choosing to keep the current City Hall building. It is going to be so cool to see that corner come alive. I agree that the Mid-Century modern look should be a part of the rooms and public spaces. It will be interesting to s…

I was very happy to see so many new trees are being planted all over downtown and through our parks, even in parks that have a lot of trees already like Moores Park and Potter Park. Also in the good news for your car, N. Washington Ave has been repa…

I am hoping that these funds could be matched or added too with money from the county parks and trails tax funds. I think that the river trail and river front are good as they are but some investments in the infrastructure and just general appearanc…

There a story about the private/public plans for the downtown riverfront on LSJ.com. They used ideas from the "Penny for you thoughts" campaign. It sounds very exciting and will really make our river front a great asset to Downtown.
-
Great, thank you! If they can see over 496 this building could have some good downtown skyline views.

I have yet to hear about the Jackson National plans for downtown river front improvements. I just saw this "tune in at 11" short story saying they were having a meeting. I did not tune in at 11 so I missed it.

Wow! I go by this building on my back way to Michigan Ave all the time. I have to say it is an unexpected place to develop into housing. There are tiny pieces of the old neighborhood around this building but it is kind of isolated location. But hey …
