I am sure there will be people who don't mind looking at the back end of Meijers . The area is dangerous for pedestrians, the tangle of streets is a mess down there, and overall it is kind of an ugly part of town. Just my opinion no offence to thos…

Thanks for posting this article. I am thinking that the Mayor must have some interested parties already to submit plans lined up. He does things more quietly than Virg... Virg liked to put a lot of things out there without any real plan to pull it o…

The city has installed new traffic signal lights in the opposing direction on Grand Avenue downtown. It will be interesting to see how this works out. I could see a green center median with "Michigan lefts" on Grand Avenue then it really would be a …

Thanks for posting the report, I am not good at it! Sorry, I do subscribe to the LSJ and I did not note that it was a subscriber-only article. It is interesting to read about what other cities are doing these days to keep their downtowns alive. An i…

The renovation of the small industrial building near Kalamazoo and Hosmer has resumed and they are installing corrugated metal paneling on the street front facade. While understanding this is an industrial building the metal paneling is disappointin…

The LSJ.com site has an interesting article about an MIT! study and paper they published about the survival of downtown districts during and after the pandemic. Lansing was one of the cities they picked to study. Most of the points we have talked ab…

Yes, I saw that, they looked kind of like some "Gillespie panels" from the corner of Grand and Saginaw. The panels are sandstone colored so they could be thin stone facade panels. It's not "bad" looking, seems like these colored plank panels are th…

The taco place closed some time ago. It is good to see someone has enough faith in downtown to open a new restaurant/bar. Up the street, the games and puzzle shop is expanding into the next storefront where a bakery was briefly located. Seems like g…

I also really like the new MRA building, the design is contemporary with features like the two-story window bump-out, that fit into the design rather than looking like something added for a cheap little flair, like pine poles or false roof structure…

This is great news. There are several streets listed that I often use. One street I am going to suggest repaving is Collins Road, there are huge deep potholes resurfacing out there by the horse paddocks, it seems like this will be an even more impor…

It reminds me of barn siding. I guess they are thinking besides being cheaper it may look homey to some people.

I am happy to read in the LSJ about the city beginning the renovation of two of its public housing facilities on S Washington and W Waverly. This will improve the lives of the people who live there. It is a bit shocking to read there has been little…

I am hoping that new pavement is one of the improvements they are planning.

Nearly everything that has happened this year in Lansing has been so unreal so upsetting at times and nearly all of the blame for this can be laid at the door of the present administration and its enablers in the Senate who are traitors [add Tim Wal…

I finally called about the sewer fumes that have been very strong these past few weeks. The city called back and explained that the fumes are a result of parts of the system being open while the sewer pipe lining is going on. This allows air to flow…

I plan to write to the Mayor about this subject, meanwhile, they could put some portapotties a trash dumpster and some fire rings out there just to help a little. Why would this be such an outrageous idea is a good question? This could be a good pla…

Now, this is an impressive building! One of the best things was using the old coal fire power plant building, this feature really makes the building "feel like" MSU.

I see that I do not know that sophomores could live off-campus. Back in the old days if you were not from the Lansing area you had to live in the dorms or a "Greek House" for the first two years. Does MSU have the housing capacity for this? I have n…

There are many solutions for homelessness in general but when it comes down to individual people or cases like this it can be difficult to do the right thing for them and the neighborhood. One thing could be civilizing the camp into more of a "free …

Thanks for the great maps I find such things very interesting. I have an 800ft+ bluff on my land up north on the far bank of the stream that passes through behind the cabin. Standing on the top the ridge cabin looks like it is "way down there" so I …
