I agree that the school building is a beautiful example of Academic Gothic design, and was built to be a beautiful place for children's imaginations to grow. It is touching to me that the people of Lansing in those days built such beautiful public s…

I am not sure but I think there will be an entrance to the hotel near the tracks on the east side. There is a yet to be finished area there which may be the hotel lobby. I saw that they have planted some nice sized trees on Michigan Avenue, I love t…

I have been thinking the same thing, there was a bad accident just up from there at Hammond and MLK just yesterday. In the old days, you could pass under the Logan Street bridge. We used to call the trail under there and through the woods down to Mo…

This is the type of development I like to see happening right in the middle of one of Lansing's oldest neighborhoods. The combination of the smaller parts of the plan bodes well for its success. I will look forward to shopping at the Co-op which wil…

The city has installed a gate at the parking lot by the dam in Moores Park, with an orange construction type sign stating the date the parking lot will close. I wonder if this is for more work on the dam or River Trail? It does not seem like a secur…

I like the park idea, I would like to see a small car lane crossing maybe under the park at Butler Blvd. to reconnect the neighborhood

Wow, that Kentucky building had some good design features, I think they could have rehabilitated that one. Lansing City Hall is a much better example of Mid-Century design, it would be a shame to lose it and have replaced it with something like the …

I had noticed some renovation going on there and caught a glimpse of the new mural. It is nice to see so much new art decorating Lansing.

I noticed two nice additions to this building. On the hotel side near the tracks, a nice wall of glass is being installed. Also on the big grey wall facing S.Cedar, they have installed a three-story tall electric billboard that was displaying some n…

I remember when this idea was printed in the LSJ. If you take a look at it the "mall" behind the Capitol it resembles this plan except for the obelisk! Thank goodness they did not take down the Capitol Building to build this. The movement to the mod…

I think overnight parking will be fine here in Lansing, we have had it on my block for years already with no problems. The one problem I could see coming up is abandoned or derelict vehicles just left parked in front of your house. Over in Montreal…

S. Washington Ave is open again after the RR crossing repairs. I had hoped they would install a crossing like the new one on Waverly, but they just blacktopped it. It is much improved but will need doing again soon with the blacktop lasting a shorte…

It may be time to resurrect the name Lanstredam! There is a "growing" number of people working in this industry, with real tax-paying jobs. I wonder if after seeing Lansing have success in this "field" other communities will change their views on ca…

I am a day shopper too, I am considering getting a basket for my bike for short-list shopping trips. I could take the River Trail and pop up on Michigan Ave by the museums. It will be nice to have that option. It will be interesting to see how Meije…

Maybe wealthy under-grads! I know owning a house is not everyone's dream but here in Lansing, you could get a super nice house for a $2,500 a month mortgage payment! It is great that they can get those rents and Lansing has jobs that can support th…

I saw a billboard on S. Cedar announcing that the market is opening on October 15th. I am liking this building more as it comes along, it has some nice urban style details and even the colored panels seem to be of high quality. I hope that maybe som…

I saw a lot of old houses with storefronts bump-outs and dormers added out east. The thing that often happens to the floor plan is that they end up with no hallways just one room leading to another. So one might have to walk through a couple of roo…

I think you are right about many students wanting to live off-campus. Do they still require freshmen and sophomores to live on campus? Here at my building in REOtown each year, more students/young people move in. They will all say they wanted to get…

I know it sounds rather unachievable but a universal minimum wage could go a long way to ending homelessness. I like the idea of a very small tax on corporations[like google] for internet transactions which could be a way to pay for it. If people do…

Is that green space? That looks like it will be a nice pool area. Sometimes I wonder who is going to fill up all of these new apartments being built right now. But I saw just today on LSJ.com that The Abbot on Grand River Ave. has been 100% leased o…
