Gambling is an entertainment game, but can become an addiction for some people. The plan as it is now would give money back, and provide hospitality industry jobs which is more than that area is providing now. I am thinking the mix of people would b…

I am sure that it is money and the lack of any reason to do something better, they just plug in a building that is the same highway exit design they build everywhere. I guess we have to be satisfied with "it's better than what was there" statement t…

Why don't they just pave the whole thing and get the pain over with! Then we could call it one of the longest and ugliest strips of concrete and black top in the country, complete with abandoned buildings full of junk that you can look at through th…

If you have not already read it, the story about the trail improvements coming this year in the City Pulse is very interesting. I think they are saying that much of the river trail will be repaved like the Hawk Island loop is now. That loop right n…

I am in with it would benefit downtown. It takes a lot of people to man an operation like that 24-7. Those people would be a new part of the downtown economy along with casino players. I think the urban site could be very busy and extra busy on hom…

Yes, I am being optimistic wishing they will build something that we will want to look at for a very long time. I may be wrong but doesn't the Greektown Casino have street front shops and fast food restaurants along Monroe Ave. with the casino hall …

I am happy to hear that they are opening a coffee shop there. I think these folks will have a good business there, they have a successful shop on Michigan Ave. I thought the name Crafty Palette was the former businesses first and biggest problem. Th…

I have also be wondering about the whole Red Cedar Frandor area. The "Morgan Lane" entrance next to the Sky Vue is almost totally one huge pot hole. I am wondering if this part of Morgan Lane is a city street. I think if they curbed and installed pe…

I now it's all old stuff to folks here, but I went to Fire Keeper's Casino in Battle Creek for the first time this week. First I- 69 is really bad for most of the way, every seam in each section of concrete was broken, I hope they put some money int…

I had heard about it a while ago, and I thought may be a good place for a bar but the whole beer price exchange thing sounded complicated and too focused on a small number of craft beer lovers. I think that the craft beer craze is great but how many…

I know that no place is like it was 40 or 50 years ago, it would be a pretty sad place if it were. It seems from the prospective of 2017 that we in Lansing never have been fully repaid for the destruction of our neighborhoods for freeways and roads,…

I was thinking the same thing about the casino. The current drawings depict a large parking structure along Cedar?? The space next to the Lansing Center is not that large where are they going to put these things? I also think he will wait to build o…

This is a great thing for downtown. I have been noticing that even on weekends there are people downtown, patronizing the businesses that are open. I think it is true that people these days like a real urban environment. It is so cool that he said a…

Thanks for the info. I know that MLK is part of M-99, I was kind of bemoaning the fact that ever since it was built it never saw the traffic it was built for, and they destroyed a lot of that neighborhood to build the boulevard.They use to truck the…

There was no road there, Aurelius ended at Mt. Hope. It seems that some roads like this and Logan/MLK were over built, why a six lane divided highway right through a [my] neighborhood? They were built when GM and Oldsmobile were at their peck employ…

It is interesting to me that they are going to replace the Aurelius Road bridge, I still think of it as "new" in that I remember when they built it. Before they built that road you really did not want to go back into those woods, which were full of …

A great place for a hotel would be the current City Market site. I love the idea of a city market, but what we have now is a bar and a cheese shop which is really a waste of a important place in the center of our city.[plus I really hate that pole b…

I know I could look it up, but doesn't the casino proposal have a hotel included? Those must have been some desperate days back when they made this agreement. It got the hotel built so I guess it was a good thing. It will sure be nice to see a h…

I looked at The Market Place's web site, which was saying new apartments will be available in Spring 2018, so I guess that means they will be building the new buildings during 2017. The utility poles must be part of the prep. for that new project.

Of course a great improvement, and I also hope it is a plan that is really going to happen. Speaking of colorful facades, maybe it's just me an overly harsh judge, but does anyone else think the siding they are putting up on the Sky Vue building l…
