I hope they do figure out a way to save the old buildings. The Abigail building will need help to brake the "hunted old institution look". It's kind of creepy right now. IMO! I wonder if all this housing is built there it will extend Old Town type o…

I think both downtown East Lansing and Lansing have similar problems, there are times that almost everyone leaves. The tourist season in the town I where I lived was lengthened by having many different kinds of festivals that would attract differen…

I have never understood why people from G.R. and A.A. are so arrogant. In G.R. I think their Calvinist views that they are descend [by God!] to be better may have something to do with it. They simply have do not time or interest in people or places …

Thanks, I found the page about this move at Capital Gains. I have been thinking that a high end restaurant may have of hard time in that spot, it is very large, there would be a lot of seats to fill every night. I'm thinking one or two smaller cafe …

I was downtown on my trip to the Peanut Shop and I noticed there is some kind of work going on in the ground floor of the Knapp's building. I have not heard of anything going in there, I wonder if anyone had heard. There were just signs for the cons…

All good points. When I went to MSU the school year was divided into quarters. I worked at the Kellogg Center so I had to be enrolled every quarter and there were lots of students enrolled for summer quarter. I wonder, do they no longer offer classe…

I guess I commented on the E.L. page, this looks so great. As they say in Massachusetts "cross yah fingahs" maybe it will be as nice as the drawings.

The LSJ has a great drawing of the City Center. It looks really great. It seems kind of ironic or interesting that this project seems to rolling a long with little interference while down the street they are still waiting for a final plan after year…

Thanks for the information. I am thinking that if they really do build out the empty GM sites we will for sure be seeing a lot more people in Lansing. I think we should really be working all of our infrastructure and facilities, to entice new people…

I am afraid this it the start or continuation of the dulling down process that always seems to happen to major projects here. Soon it will be just a parking ramp! just kidding

I saw the latest plan for Grand River and Abbot on the LSJ site. I like the front facade but the [I guess] hotel building looks a lot like the Raddison downtown.

I was downtown Saturday and there were lots of costumed people in every business that was open. It is a great example of if you have a thyme and a little promotion people will show up. I was thinking it's too bad there were not more places for these…

I honestly think or dream that a thru traffic tunnel maybe two lanes from Harrison ending at Park Lake road would tame the surface traffic by removing thru traffic. No other exits except maybe for west bound Grand River Ave. I am just thinking out l…

I did not know about the free parking at the MSU ramp. Is it also free on weekend?

If you want to have a little project envy check out curbed Detroit. The plans for the old Hudson's site are really cool, as are the plans for the new Piston's Practice Facility. The river walk and making Jefferson Blvd. pedestrian friendly are proje…

I really do not have a problem with governments helping to get these project built. It often seems like here in Lansing we see these grand plans, and once the local government get a hold of it we end up with something less grand. I also find it kind…

I hope that the restaurant will not be closing. We need a mix of real sit down restaurants and sandwich shops.

I may be wrong, but it looks like the MSUFCU is expanding their downtown Lansing office to fill the vacant store front at Washington and Michigan. If that is true a bank is better than empty, but it seems strange to me that some sort of retail shop …

Do you think that time will ever come? Are there cities in Michigan where developments are being built without some sort of tax abatement, or other government subsidies? If so than planners, and government here should find out how they are doing it.

I hope they do what is required to get this project built.
