In a building site tour, I noticed the Red Cedar site has grown up a lot. It looks taller and more densely spaced than had expected. So far so good, at least it is going up! The new hospital looks impressive on its spot out there in the fields, bit …

I am happy to say that they have planted the annuals at Frances Park and the rose garden is in full bloom right now, check it out. The road is still closed but there is parking by the river. The wisteria vines have also finally taken a good hold of …

I do like Metro Place, though I would not pay 2K to live there, I hope to see the building animated with people soon. I think the new Capitol View building is one building that shows they can build a project that is of higher quality in design and m…

Empty apartments always look stark, but there are so few attractive details in the design other than large windows. If I were to spend 2K a month on my housing I am sure I could find something nicer than this maybe even with a bathtub! Whatever the …

There is a large crane and construction site set up next to the Moores Park Dam, which I am wondering about. I thought they had finished work on the dam, so maybe they are doing something for the River Trail. I think I read where they are extending …

I noticed that the new Lake Trust building is being built right next to the sidewalks lining up with the small office building next door on S Washington. It is great to see the parking will be away from the corner and they did save one tree! I am im…

In my "what would I do, plan for GM" I think they could cover their roofs, product staging lots, and even the employee lots with solar panels like MSU has done at many of their surface-lots. I think they could pull up most of the lots west of MLK an…

I was hoping that the garden club would start planting the annual gardens, they have been doing this for a year or two, the rose garden has been kept up. The city weeded and mulched the traffic islands on S.Washington in REOtown so maybe they will g…

The Mayor seems like a nice person, but he lets things happen rather than make things happen. His office's response to the gunmen terrorizing my neighborhood was it's their right to do so, there is nothing we can do about them. Really! nothing? The …

I always like to hear about more trees being planted! They have also planted a large number of trees planted in Hunter Park and last fall in Foster Park. There also new trees planted in Moorse Park where there are already a lot of trees! I also noti…

I think if they constructed better a storm drainage system along the trail by the Washington Avenue bridge they could avoid this problem, the runoff from the paved road behind the apartment building drains right onto the trail and over it into the r…

I just returned from my cabin to find a staging area set up in the parking lot of the Washington Apartments next to the river trail. There has been some collapses of the pavement there maybe they are fixing it.

The city has installed a lot of new signs on the River Trail. They look good but there are a lot of them, four just behind my building. No one will be getting lost now! That is for sure.

Thank you for that information. I hope there will be something fun that will be going in there, and also I hope they don't just sit on it, it would be nice to see activity on that corner. I wonder if Pablo made a profit on the sale, they did do a lo…

Just a little tree update. The nice row of flowering plum trees that were blooming the other day at St Joe and Washington are indeed gone. I am sure they were in an area that will be a parking lot when the bank opens, car vs tree, the car always win…

I am wondering what effect the new drain system and the small lake will have on this area? I am hoping that they will help to stop flooding, I think it would be beneficial to build a better drain system under the road or by building an elevated road…

The construction of the new Lake Trust Bank branch at St. Joe and S. Washington branch has begun, lots of digging going on. I hope it is a good looking building, a bank branch is not very exciting but it is nice to see a building going up on a forme…

This is I believe the Mid-'70's judging by the cars, that is a '72 Chevy Vega[?] turning down S. Washinton Ave. Also those cement flower planters are from that era.

I am so happy that this project will be built that the unimaginative design is not a problem form me. I was hoping the architects had given up on the flat roof toppers as some sort of design flare. I hope when finished they will have used some qual…

This is good news. That section of Aurelius will be seeing more traffic when the new hospital and housing developments open. They are also working on Forest Road. I hope they also get to Collins next.
