I do not think that non-students or families are ever going to want to live in this 'Cedar Village" area between the river and Grand River Ave., so why would a developer want to build anything but profitable students housing there?. Of anywhere in c…

Of course, I would not want to keep some folks from going to LCC because they could not afford to park there. I was just brainstorming alternatives to building a multi-million dollar parking structure on Capitol Ave... Perhaps they could build a ram…

I like that idea!

I read where they described the look of the new ramp as having an apartment building-like facade. I don't really see that in these drawings. I do not like the idea of another parking ramp on this block of Capitol Avenue. I understand that they need …

I agree. When they rebuilt this bridge they used similar materials for the [burtalist style] walls that they used at the pedestrian mall on N. Washington Sq... I guess to match but those walls and the bridge walls were never great looking to me, and…

The River Caddis company has done some big client's projects, that would be a great thing if they were to build in downtown EL. The design looks very contemporary, the Convexity design has a look that could have been from any time in the last 30 yea…

I drove by two big projects in the Lansing area yesterday on the way up north. The dairy plant in St Johns is near finished, it looks like a launch facility [ I read they want to build a real rocket launch facility near my cabin in Iosco County!:{ ]…

Maybe a hotel guest standing on their Juliet balcony will spot a Romeo across the street having dinner at the Mission! "A Capital City Romance!" Someone could write a play about it!

Thanks for posting. I was looking at an old photo of the Capitol and I was reminded that there were a lot of trees on the west side but also a lot of surface parking lots right behind the building. I believe that there will be no parking lots in tha…

They do need to clean up their stores and parking lots. I think the relay on the employees in each store to do these cleaning chores and no one ever checks to see if the work has been done. Some locations like Kalamazoo and Penn. Ave store the emplo…

Perhaps a good idea to increase ridership would be for businesses to give their employees bus passes as MSU and the student housing companies have for their people. I think this could work well for a lot of downtown businesses state and city office…

Nice big windows for the apartments. What is the treatment they are installing on the bottom of the hotel windows? Perhaps some sort of screen or lattice that would allow the windows to be open for fresh air. It looks a bit odd covering up almost ha…

I was wondering if the MSU students can ride anywhere for free on CATA or just the EL-MSU routes. I know it would never happen but it would really increase ridership and decrease our dependence on the automobile and the need for parking space if eve…

This the nicest looking 7-eleven I have ever seen! I think that it was smart for The Hub to offer the former businesses space in their new building. They had those spaces leased to those businesses before the building was built.

The depiction of the solar farm's layout looks like they leave quite a lot of open land in the pastures as well as some ponds and marshlands. Some grasses will grow with small amounts of light like the wheatgrass farmers plant to cover their fields …

I have spoken to QD about the change in the flavor of the milk. They said that yes they closed the bottling plant on S Washington but did not say where they now bottle the milk, he just said it was Michigan milk. I go to QD for two reasons the MSUFC…

I have been wondering about the brewery up the street. This is another location where work had been stopped for months. They really did a lot of renovations on this space already it would be a shame if they did not get it finished. A bit further up …

That is truly a bummer! My desk-side window looks out at this building, and I have noticed that no one has been doing anything over there for at least eight months or more. Some fool did crash his truck into the parking lot taking out the street sig…

It is very good to see a local banking institution investing in one of our downtowns. I do wonder as I drive by the big buildings north of town, what are all those people doing in there? What are their jobs? What are they doing with my money? Now t…

My neighbor Linda Tanner went to the School for the Blind with Stevie Wonder, she said he was very nice and full of energy.
