I am of the opinion that the Mission is fine where it is, I really never see much activity outside the building anyway. I said "if it were me" that was homeless and in need of shelter I might prefer to not have to be out on Michigan Ave. with all ki…

I saw that they have started to lay the steel rebar for the foundations of the buildings on the western side of the site. I like the density of the arrangement of the buildings, the layout looks urban from the Michigan Ave. side. I also took a look …

Maybe people already know this, S.Washington Ave will be closed at the CN tracks starting Monday. I am hoping that is for building a new crossing there, the road has really gotten bad. Also, I finally figured out that the part of the River Trail tha…

In train spotting news, I saw the Amtrak Blue Water passing by this morning and noticed the brand new passenger coaches built by Seimens have been put into service! I will have to take a better look but I think they may have even replaced the ancien…

I was kind of kidding about the parking, I'm a wicked healthy guy and I rarely go Sparrow or McLaren thank goodness! That is a good point about Sparrow being a local corporation that I had not considered before.

Wow very impressive! I wonder if there will be free parking? If so I'm switching from Sparrow! The views from 127 into Lansing with this huge hospital building the Red Cedar development and the Skyview Building will be looking pretty coming up from …

I could look at this two ways, one may be that Lansing is not ashamed of its charity and homeless people there it is right on our main street. The Mission dates from a time when this was kind of skid row and is perhaps the last remnant of that time …

Looks good!

I noticed the pine poles[why?] being installed the other day. The design is OK looking but seems, as I have said before, dated. It's almost 2021 let's get some new intriguing ideas! It is good to see a building fill that empty space. I have to sa…

I believe there has been a hospital at the Greenlawn location for nearly 100 years so it would be a shame if they did vacate this campus. The new building is really impressive I noticed the new structure going up the other day, but I am happy to hea…

This building looks nice on the outside as well! It really fits in very nicely. It will be a great day when these rooms are filled with Spartans.

Soon there will be only one tree left, the one with the fence around it! I am hoping that the new trees will be mature large trees that actually shape the sidewalks and lawns, not like the little stick trees the BWL planted around the substation.

I was by here yesterday and noticed they have begun installing the landscaping around the rear parking area access drive with a good number of trees and other plantings. They have painted a large colorful mural depicting fruits and flowers [I think?…

I will hope for a positive reaction to the new plan, I think any improvement would be welcome over there but people do have to get their two cents in that is for sure. The open space is really just an old playground field with no park-like features,…

Good news! That neighborhood is actually pretty nice with lots of trees, some blocks are better than others but for the most part, there are a lot of well-kept homes in a fairly dense old fashion subdivision. You can see signs that before 496 this w…

I was able to take my favorite back route to the P.O. via Hazel Street which has reopened and Aurelius. The Big MJ grow house on Hazel looks more fortress-like every day, a new owner has taken over the little cafe on the corner of Penn and Hazel, ne…

At $200 million maybe that sort of town center is what they are planning. I also would like to see the mall redeveloped, it would be better than building more retail down the road while abandoning the mall little by little.
-
I read on lsj.com that a 200-acre cornfield out west of I-96 in Delta township is going to be developed into a mixed-use retail-housing district. While it is good to see more development anywhere, this one sounds like more of the same kind of develo…

I hope what we wait to see is a cool 30 story building standing out above our skyline. I am always too optimistic when I hear about this sort of "big plan" but this fellow seems to be well connected to Lansing and to money. I have never understood w…

A very nice looking building, I like the brick all the to the top. It seems weird now to see the old ghost building that sat there for so long, I do not ever think "oh I miss that building" I am always so amazed by what has taken its place when dri…
