Hopefully soon I will be able to buy a house here, and I think the west side is really nice and I have been looking there. It will be great if they tamed Saginaw/Oakland streets. The speed limit could be lower. When they build what ever it is that w…

It seems like they gave Raddisson a huge amount of power here. This whole tax abatement deal or what ever the city has to offer to convince someone to build something seems to me should be outdated. To me it sounds like the people who say "I cann't …

Do you mean that it was burned out when you moved to the south side in '03? Wow that would be a long time. I hope they move sooner on the print shop. It is always strange to drive by the empty expanse on the west side, with 1,000 jobs it would see…

I see. I do understand that Lansing nearly had to beg someone to build downtown back when the Raddisson was built, it is really exciting to me that Lansing is in so much better shape now. I bet in 2016 we could hear about a hotel downtown. Is the ca…

I have said something similar about lighting along the trail especially downtown and under the bridges. It's kind of creepy walking under the wide bridges even when there is no one down there, really creepy if there is. Of course nothing has ever ha…

To me someone who lived in a small village sixty miles from the nearest mall, everyplace in Lansing seems really close especially if you take the highways. I find it more interesting to take local streets to different centers as I live in REO town n…

Now that I see the large drawing I also feel like, OK it is different, but now I think it is going to look like many of the large apartment blocks on Grand River in East Lansing. Many of those remind me of military housing on American bases in Germa…

I will be volunteer for the clean up. I wonder if the city can compel property owners to clean up, as there is a very visible bunch of junk thrown over the high bank next to Moores Park. It looks like the trash may have been there for a long time. I…

It looks a bit different. Better windows, looks like lighter brick, a little window at the top of each section. Looks like they did away with the shinny metallic piping and hopefully the metal siding and port windows. I think it was great they went …

I walked downtown yesterday and noticed the shops that were open had people in them. I went on down to the City Market to check out the new grocery. It was pretty nice, and I found a few things to take home, and they did have things like milk bread …

That is going to look so huge there on Michigan Ave. I do like how the building is right up next to the street. It is very cool to see these big cranes rising up of the skyline.

There is an interesting article in The City Pulse about the development on E. Michigan. I am very glad to hear that they have gone back to the drawing board. It is nice to hear that the developer has listened to the concerns of the neighborhood. Lik…

A few REOtown notes. Lansing Uniform moved out of their S Washington store over to Pennsylvania for better parking I guess they said. I think that is too bad because that shop brought a lot of people to the block. When I saw the sign announcing the …

The new landscaping seems to be finishing up, and it looks really nice around LCC. I really like the rolling lawn in front of the new student center. It is unusual in Lansing to see a project that is nicer than it has to be, as it seems like they pu…

It would be so great use all the little rail routes that cross the Lansing area to move people. Out east they used a self motorized diesel passenger cars on some lines I think they were called BUD cars. Basically a bus on rails. I could see that so…

Thanks for the great tree info., it is nice to know I am not the only tree guy around. I have not been over to Baker wood lot since I moved back, I use to go over there a lot when I went to MSU. I am not sure if there is visitor parking near by, a w…

I can not really comment on the politics of East Lansing, they have always wanted to be separate from Lansing, maybe they will take the Trump route and build a wall.

Thanks for the tree information, now I already have two stops on the Lansing Big Old Tree Tour! I guess nearly every tree that the 19th century settlers could get to, they cut down. The photos of that time in all of Lower Michigan show a treeless la…

It is at least interesting that the builders offered a different looking face to Grand River. I want to like it more than I do, I know I can be over critical of these new buildings, but it seems like many of the new buildings in East Lansing have th…

My last ice rink comment is when I googled Washington Park Ice rink I got a few pages that seem to say that there is a rink in operation there. It could be old pages I am going to drive by there and have a look. The brew pub sounds really great. Lo…
