I am sure they do have planning boards and zoning laws, but all of W. Saginaw is a unattractive suburban mess. This is not unique to Lansing or anywhere in the country. So I guess maybe rather than pointing out the obvious, what is wrong. Delta coul…

I was wondering if they attempt to recycle any thing from the houses that are to be torn down. Of course Detroit has far more vacant homes. There are a couple of companies that go in there and take lumber, doors, moldings, piping and the like. I gue…

I moved out east in '81 so I am not sure but I think that that bar was open until they bought it out to make room for the baseball stadium. That area was not all "sin strip" filled with men in overcoats doing sinful things. My mates and I were early…

That seems to be a quite a list of some really great project. The Lansing area is going to look much different in just a few years. It is very exciting to me to see Lansing growing in so many interesting directions. I drive down St Joe all the ti…

Being a young gay man out and about at the time I can remember this area very well. I don't know what all went on in the bookstores and movie houses but we were having a disco blast in Trammpp's. There was a sign at the door that you needed seven ID…

It was noisy, the drop forges would open their doors and you could not only hear but see the forge working and sparks flying. I thought it was cool to see. Also in the summer you could see inside many factories as most had big doors and windows. The…

What is sticky?

I grew up close enough to that drop forge that it was a summer sound that you would hear with the windows open, it was not an unpleasant sound, a very steady curr -chunk curr-chunk that could put me to sleep. That was a Lansing sound 50 years ago. I…

As this a forum for talking about our own ideas as well as projects that actually being built I was just thinking about a better situation for Lansing Center. I really think that MSU would still do fine if we had a large arena. I mentioned high scho…

I can see the idea now. It seems like a lot of buildings for that area. If it were to be built I think it would provide a density of people that would enliven the area and kind of connect the downtown residential areas to the north and south. I oft…

Is this what is suppose to be built there? I do not see any of this down there. I did see yesterday that they were landscaping the plaza around the new sculpture,and put up a plaque, it looks nice. They have also fixed the erosion on the Rive…

I have not lived here long, but lets just say I think people should be treated fairly while working, and I do not understand why a developer would want to have a bad reputation for labor practices in a town like Lansing. I like that he does seem to …

I just moved here a couple of months ago after being away for a long time. I always fallowed Lansing developments however. I think that two developers kind of sparring over issues is kind of interesting and great since not one shovel has been turned…

This looks better than I remember the real one. My Dad would take us to employee parties there, I remember running around the whole place while the grown ups were having a bit of Holiday cheer. There was a big Ball Room with a stage and a big sweepi…

This is the kind of thing that needs to be repaired the next day, and plans to fix the trail way and raise the trail next. Also the roadway on the GM side could be curbed and with a drain put in at the bottom of the slope. These big rains we have ha…

It look like at this point they could have saved the old next to the new. They did not do it that way back then. it was out with the old. Too bad so many people felt that way such a beautiful example of civic architecture in the Romanesque style. Ma…

I hope that pointing out some things that could be improved did not come across that I am not impressed by the river trail. I am very much. I am often amazed be a huge tree. wild flowers, or wild life that I see each time I walk the trail. I was jus…

This is the thing about the river walk that has been since they built the first one is way did they build that? The first one had huge cement circles under the Shiawassee St Bridge that were suppose to serve what purpose? Now in this version they ha…

In the 60's we would wait for my Dad to get off work at REO we would wait next to the Quality Dairy plant there was not a store there then, I could be wrong but I think the mural is on one of their buildings, it is QD's employee parking lot in front…

I think that although admirable [they thought they had to do something] the malling of Washington Ave was and still is in some ways a failure. Every plan was downsized delayed until it was never built, every thing that was build was usually downsize…
