I agree, there could be a lot of green space included in a better plan, it is such a large parcel of land you could have a quarter or a third densely developed leaving the rest green. a more progressive or environmentally considered plan could have …

The new Lake Trust branch looks about ready to open. There is a large parking lot at least it is in the rear, there is also some nice landscaping. The small office building behind there on S. Washington has major inside demolition going on, maybe so…

I saw an interesting program on the youtube channel "B1M" about the "Wooden City" that is being constructed in a quarter of Helsinki Finland. They are building all kinds of different structures with engineered wood products. Like our building at MSU…

That is interesting to hear. A while ago I saw them harvesting hay, and I wondered if anything was going to ever happen there. It is reassuring to me that these major projects are still going forward, these developers have a lot of faith in the futu…

Now that 496 is open again I would guess that is the reason they have installed a huge new electric billboard on the eastbound side. The new sign is much brighter more colorful than the old one and is also animated changing ads 30 seconds or so. I c…

That is great news about Walter French. My Dad two of my brothers and my sister went to French JHS, when I sit at the light there I notice there are some beautiful details in that building. It will be so nice to see that building full of light and a…

Thank you for sharing the story about a neighborhood just around the corner that I have not visited, now I want to take a ride over there. What a touching story I hope it is still going on over there. They seem to have covered the 3/4 block with top…

The small house looks like it may have been a school at one time. It is a strange little edge of town area leftover from when it was the edge of town. I like the idea of the city extending the parkland over there.

I am not sure what was happening at the corner lot of S. Washington and Garden Street [where the Fabulous Acres sign is] there were large earthmovers there but they seemed to be spreading topsoil not excavating. Perhaps it is a neighborhood improvem…

That is interesting. Knock the neighborhood down and someday build a new neighborhood. I was just speculating about the "30 story building". It sure would be great to see something built there. The destruction of this and nearby neighborhoods made a…

That is sad to hear about. Pulling down century-old homes that will be replaced with what? is wrong to me. Is this the spot on the edge of downtown they are talking about for the site of a 30 story building? Maybe they are going to actually do somet…

Yup sorry! it is a little confusing to me up there, but yes it's on the N W corner of North and Turner. The windows were newly boarded up and it looked like some excavation and interior cleanout had started. I would venture to guess it may be a pot …

They have a billboard fence surrounding the "temple building" depicting the project. It looks nice. Up, on Turner and Willow, there is a renovation going on in an old service station, the one with the stucco walls. That place looks to have been vaca…

A car wash! That is just what S.Cedar needs! maybe there will be a nice used car lot around back! With some better planning and development, there could be a nice sort of "urban village center" in the Jolly-Cedar four corners area. I see that with t…

Neogen has installed a nice looking fence and repaved the parking lots, it seems old school buildings are just right for them. Down at S Cedar and Jolly, they were demolishing the Family Dollar building that was vacant on that corner. Seems like a v…

Very interesting!

Yes, I think that this would be one way to get these landowners into action. I think the city could also require landscaping and fencing in the downtown district as another way to add cost to their operations. Maybe a tax credit for pulling up black…

This developer already has the grow house on E Kalamazoo and is behind the Love Over Fear billboards. I wonder if the construction on the west side of Cedar across from the John Bean plant is part of his developments?

I was by Frandor today, and noticed that Ranny Park is all dug up! These projects keep going despite all, it is going to really fun to watch this project being built.

I was happy to see in the City Pulse that the Holmes Street School project is moving towards the start of construction. I could not find the drawings referred to in the article but I like the "Blackboard District" name.
