I drove by this site and found a lot of activity going on, a second elevator tower is going up on the eastern side of the project. I also like that the state is looking more closely at the subsidies they grant. This location, in particular, may not…

Just like the BWL wall where no one lingers, I think it is a bit optimistic to imagine a lot of people hanging out in this alley-way [?]. Maybe it is the backdoor for the apartment building leading to the parking lot? Someone should ask!

I was at MSU at the same time as Ervin, and I would often see him at the Kellogg Center, and also in downtown Lansing a couple of times where I saw him shopping at Kositcheks and Linn and Ownes Jewelry Store while I was also shopping there. I even s…

Good News! This is going to be truly unique and hopefully beautiful part of our urban landscape. I don't believe I have seen anything like this development in the middle of a city anywhere.

It looks like the apartments are going up faster than the hotel. I like the very large windows that can open for fresh air. Those folks will have a great view!

This looks like it was built to last. I wonder why they took this bridge out? It looks like there was space enough to pass under 496 there. The bridge was less than 50 years old when the removed it.

This project has to be finished, and I like the developer's take on this, that it will be finished and it will be a great thing for Lansing. I am not going to even think about it all coming to a halt. I wonder why this issue was not resolved before…

It looks quite dynamic there is a lot going on for a small building. The buildings this will replace are unremarkable but relatively modern so I am happy to see this will be a teardown and building something new, not repurposing the old buildings. W…

Wow, I get an A! Some photos of the old days can draw me in and I can really picture old Lansing. Thanks for posting this one. I wonder if the pavement in this photo is the original concrete pavement of which there is a remnant on displayed in this …

It was very busy on this street. It must be in town, maybe the eastern border of Lansing near present-day Frandor/127? I remember a photo I saw of the interchange of Grand River and Saginaw which made kind of criss-cross that may have been the boule…

Great shot! I was thinking that it looks kind of monolithic at this point as I drove by. I am hoping they use some quality window treatments which would help a lot. It really does fill the spot and there is no Michigan Ave side parking structure or …

Don't speed down S.Washington Ave in REOTown today! The limit is 25mph! I have watched the cops stop at least six cars this morning! It is a good idea as I have seen drivers using the center left-turn lane as a passing lane to get by people going 25…

There two individuals that one could point to and hold responsible for bad politically motivated spending decisions, the Speaker of the House and the Senate President. I believe we have lost faith in the State of Michigan because that is exactly wh…

I bet you are correct, the drain project is one that I am very excited about, this project has been talked about for so long it is good to see signs that it is actually being built. It is difficult to look at the site while driving on the potholed M…

I was thinking of a small toll on the roads that cross the borders from OH, IN, WI, and OT, and on plane train and bus tickets not the Interstates within Michigan. Not really a use tax for Michiganders more like an arrival tax for visitors. It cost …

I have been wondering about the drain project, I can not find any information about the beginning [I guess it has begun on the south side of Michigan] or any progress they have made.

OH, BTW the BWL installed more LED lights! They look awful IMO I should have kept my BIG mouth shut!

A couple of ideas I have had about this are these, perhaps Lansing could start building and maintaining ourselves by creating a street construction department equipped with all the machines necessary to rebuild our roads. Set up one of those pavemen…

This is great news. I rarely use the in-town freeways because of their condition and configuration which makes these roads dangerous. Plus I don't really need to go 75 mph for the three minutes to get across town, but I can see from my windows that …

Looks good, not great! no fancy details but I am happy to see a full-service hotel being built downtown. I like the sidewalk cafe detail and I hope they really do plant large trees along there, PG has just planted shrubs in front of The Avenue build…
