I remember that sign. I saw it on visits home back in the 80's? It was a silhouette and the tower was depicted out of scale with the rest of the sky line. It was the only building back then, at LCC that was identifiable as part of the sky line, I th…

I thought it was just a smoke stack for the welding classes, I went to L.C.C. when they built that building, no one knew what is was then either. I'm glad to see it removed, and I would also like to see that rope patterned cast cement removed from t…

I went to the new bar in Old Town "The Grid", I really like the room,the windows are beautiful, they made a very cool space for the bar and the games. I only played the pin ball machines, and was thinking the whole time that I should be putting thes…

Maybe they intend to keep the ally between the two buildings.

It is still difficult to get a feel for this from these depictions. The east facing facade has no windows, and the "U"' shape seems odd. What is that an air shaft? What is in the middle and then the back building has windows looking into the middle.…

One other note, they painted the new affordable house on Elm Street bright blue, with a red front door. Looks OK. I hope they cover the open space under the house, that would help even more.

Work has begun on the "Under the Bridge" project I noticed the other day. They were starting to paint the murals on the side walls. I was beginning to wonder if this would be one of those things that was talked about that never happened, it is very …

I do like the look of this design, I think this is the Albert Street side, it looks more like the brick faced buildings in the area.They have described it as a two ten story buildings on the radio news, and there looks to be another building next to…

Looks great let's build it!

An interesting article in the LSJ about the fashion industry, and how it is growing here in Lansing. The Runway project is at the center of that growth and success. I find this very unexpected and really great. Lansing is very good at making things …

I think it would be better to redevelop the older north campus buildings like Giltner Hall. While I have no fond memories of some of those older over heated stuffy class rooms where I would struggle to stay awake, I would like to see the older campu…

I find that computer generated depictions often do not look very good. This looks kind of dated and basic. I do like that it is not phony looking and I would like to see a depiction that better shows the more contemporary details that are there if …

Story about this project in the LSJ looks like it is going to start soon.

I lived in a very small town for a long time, they had a town meeting every year and anyone from town could speak, offer ideas, and criticisms [a lot of the latter] and I swear even with all those voices they got big things done. They agreed on and …

So this is still on despite the most recent vote?

I have to some what agree, I am hoping they doll it up a bit, I think it is OK for some areas that may never see anything built on the empty lots. I know that we are not like Detroit in that we will recover our population to it's high point so one d…

I do like this project at least on paper. I am not a big fan of knocking down old buildings, but E.L. really does not feel like a cozy historical district downtown. There are already "tall" buildings and parking ramps along Albert giving the street …

Thank you for the post. I am impressed at how nice it looks inside. This house went up so fast, and I think many parts were pre-fabricated off site. I was thinking Habitat for Humanity might have been building this house, it is interesting to hear t…

Thank you for the update. I hope they can find a way to help the new development areas mesh into the older campus. The new areas feel and look a bit like an office park, more trees and landscaping, with large direct pedestrian and bike paths to the …

Looks really good. It has been difficult to look at the new building while driving by. It looks like a first class building.
