I am a bit confused! Are you talking about 116 W Ottawa? Also is the building depicted at Walnut and Ottawa still an apartment building? The new drawings are quite a relief, the nighttime lighting will add a unique building to our skyline. OK let ge…

I read an interesting opinion ed. in the City Pulse about saving Eastern. I was surprised to read that the architects for Eastern were the same who designed the Michigan Union and the MSU Union.

Thanks for the information. It looks like a terrible plan. I wonder what they need this building for. I have always disliked the placement of the street and the church. These days they could close one side and still have no traffic problems. It was …

I watched an interesting video on YouTube about current life in Detroit. The commentator was interested in Detroit's resurgence and how they are becoming a better city with its current 700,000 plus population and leaving behind the old ideas and per…

I remember the downtown library was renovated just a couple of years ago, perhaps they did not update the building's infrastructure. This is perhaps the most "Lansing" building still standing and being used for its original purpose. Lansing's Kennet…

Thanks I did not pay attention to the subscription price, and I think this maybe too much for what I get from the LSJ.

Let's talk to Ervin Johnson, "The Magic Ovation" !

I know that in many places they have architectural standard boards that must be followed in order to get a permit, such boards would not have to be doctorial but might work with the developer to come up with a decent design for the same price. Plus,…

Is Dayton wealthier than Lansing? That is quite impressive.

I lived in a small town where driving around was not easy, many folks who visited hotels, guesthouses and rented had no cars. One way that people got around was pedicabs. They were human powered but newer models have electric motors too. The pedicab…

Thank Goodness they have come up with a new contemporary design and marketing concept. "The O"!

I have noticed that retail space in my building right in downtown East Lansing has not been fully leased out in the building built in 2019, as well as the newer buildings along Michigan Avenue all have never rented retail space. I often think if lan…

Urban density with some human comfort is a very good for true urban "village" neighborhoods. In my crazy dreams I could see a "canal district" on the northwest side next to the river, a couple of u-shaped cannels with some dense housing and retail,…

I thought that was an interesting story, the false story was kind of a negative view of our city's founding, I am happy to hear that the folks who moved here were not the victims of some sort of scam. When I walk through some of the woods and parks …

I could see a Lansing- Art -History and Culture Center. This could include history galleries, retail, gallery spaces, classrooms practice studios and the like. There only a small space in the downtown Library basement to display historical items fro…

I saw a WILX report about the affordable housing that is going up downtown on the south side. The depictions are awful. I hope they are just first concept drawings.

I am visualizing an awesome design right now!

I would say the red brick looks like many of the buildings built in the '60s like Erickson Hall, with some modern touches. It's OK. I wonder about the ornate Academic Gothic designs of the central campus and what they would cost in today's dollars, …

How about that! I read in last Sunday's New York times about Michigan's turn around in housing, from having an overload of old bad housing to a shortage of good housing now in 2024, with rents and home prices rising even in rural areas like White Cl…

While I do comment on this page and The Daily Kos rarely, I have been off of social media like Facebook since I was following a foraging group that became political when discussing where and what one should feel free about foraging wild plants and m…
