I saw a brief report on the local new about Jackson Insurance planning to spend a million dollars on river front improvements from the Cherry Hill boat ramp to the fish ladder! I did not see anything reported today as of yet. Has anyone heard of thi…

I like that Mich seems optimistic about this one too, and maybe once Virg is out of the picture things will go a lot more smoothly with our neighbors. He displays some of the same traits as this guy in D.C. who is in the news a lot insulting people.

I am hoping they develop this area in a more urban, less suburban style. I am thinking of the area behind Eastern H.S. that was the last large in city space to be developed. While the houses look nice it really looks out of place in the middle of th…

The state owns the street thing seems like they[the city] are making a poor excuse, I drive through small towns where the state highway is also the main street. Does the state plant and maintain those trees and flowers? I think the state would allow…

Well thank you. I did fully understand what they are doing. It was just a bit shocking to see the entire area under construction, which I also knew was going on. Just like the substation I'm sure it will be beautiful once it's done.

I was at the downtown Post Office and noticed that they have removes all trees on the west side of the Capitol for the geo-thermal heating project. Just a thought but why did they have to do this directly behind the building? There are so many acres…

After reading the post the theater was part of the original 20th century building. Very interesting thanks for posting it.

Great photo find! This is from the 1956 based on the cars and the movie showing, also the 100 Grand River building has not been altered. It is interesting to see the facade's stone work that looks like the theater matched the building next door, but…

This plan looks really good. I also think projects like this reusing old buildings are more interesting than building something new. This near northwest side of downtown has a lot of people living in the area and there are really no services at all.…

I only remember that is was always there and it must have been nothing too remarkable. I would look for pictures of the State Theater that might include the building which was next door. I asked on the other page and yup they finally did it! Yea!

google chrome, I guess it is just me I will go around it and try to clear that notice.

I can any hope that the folks in EL government will learn something from this long lesson.

I have thought about this area as well. I think surface lot owners should be required to fence and landscape all downtown lots. Empty or unused black top should have to be pulled up and replaced with grass after a certain time empty . Make developin…

It would be good if they could do more with the building itself. It still looks like a warehouse, and the art work on the outside walls needs to be improved, or re-done. I do like the exhibits inside. A nicer looking building and landscaping maybe w…

I do not know it there is enough room at these four corner intersections, and I know it's all "euro" and all but traffic circles or rotary's slow but generally do not stop traffic and are much safer for pedestrians and bikes. People live on streets …

They have also planted new trees on Ionia street. It is really great to see these trees planted now I hope they will water and take care of them.

I noticed the new Clock Tower on the LCC campus is nearing completion. They have yet to install the clock faces, but so far it looks really nice and is a great improvement over the smoke stack/guard tower that was there for so long.

I have a good tree story for once! They have planted new trees in the empty spaces downtown along Kalamazoo Street by the Library and Cooley. That is the first time I have had good news regarding our trees. Yea!

This corner, and at Larch there should be some sort of pedestrian protection. Has anyone ever considered making these street two way again. I would guess not, but our downtown area has changed a lot since these one way street were made that way, it …

I really think in may be time to think about slowing down the traffic on our downtown cross streets. How much longer would it take to get across town if the speed limit was lowered? Our corners should not be dangerous.
