Good news for the westside YMCA, they'll be getting renovations and some significant outdoor upgrades as part of a branding to the Earvin Magic Johnson YMCA. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Pdrm1cuBf/

I don't remember when that was tore down, last year or even the year before I believe. I had hoped the city wouldn't allow that building to be demoed for parking but somehow Sparrow weaseled it in there. Gillespie owned the property for some time, h…

I've been on the trail through there a bunch, it was open all last summer when I was getting out much, much more. It's a great section of trail, it allows you to follow a big 8-9 mile loop from there to the Bear Lake trail, down to Maguire Park, up …

I wouldn't argue against that at all. If downtown were allowed to develop organically I'm fairly confident that in time the city/residents would get something pretty close to what they want anyhow. EL had fought tooth and nail against anything new f…

Well, this was predictable: https://eastlansinginfo.news/developer-sues-east-lansing-after-apartment-rejection/ Also of note from EL Info, I've gotten behind on their stories: https://eastlansinginfo.news/city-council-approves-large-expansion-to…

Most of Michigan Ave was single family homes at one time, as evidenced by the volume of early 1900's houses with later storefronts attached to them along the Lansing portion, it slowly grew into a (almost) fully commercial/multi-family corridor. The…

Yeah, I'm sure it's them. They're Shyft Group now, I'm not sure if they still do fire trucks in Charlotte. I used to see lots of white Isuzu's with bare chassis in back parked in field out that way, I don't remember exactly where. https://theshyf…

The attendance numbers are fairly interesting. I've always wanted to go into St Thomas Aquinas just to see that stained glass from the inside. I almost exclusively use ChatGPT, I've been paying the $20/month for a long time and am used to its per…

Sparrow is getting started on their mental health hospital: https://www.wlns.com/lansing/u-m-health-sparrow-breaks-ground-on-83m-lansing-psychiatric-facility/

It's great to see more of the inside of the building, thanks for the pics. Did access require knowing anyone or something? Or is there some level of public access?

People have mentioned them to me as if I'm supposed to know them. I search them and find of tons of local news stories talking about them visiting places. I somewhat doubt that their fame is organically grown given the amount of traditional media ex…

Agreed. You reminded me to check the airport's master plan page and... still nothing. Maybe they'll surprise us with a new terminal plan that actually has teeth, or more realistically, an actually decent plan to overhaul the existing terminal into s…

My main argument with these private cameras is that the municipality should buy or lease the hardware and license the software on a monthly/annual/set amount of time agreement, not on pay-per-citation basis, it sets the incentives all wrong. There's…

MSP is just a typo, it's MPS, Municipal Parking Services, I think it's the same company that does the smart meters. But yeah, the stuff with all the Flock cameras and automated enforcement is scary to say the least, and it's just the tip of the i…

One small item of interest from the upcoming council meeting: https://lansingmi.portal.civicclerk.com/event/7885/files/attachment/31592 A grant acceptance of $7 million that will go towards a number of loosely defined uses, but one clearly define…

That is appalling. $42 for a parking ticket is too much to begin with, let alone when citations are automated. That a private company is getting more than the municipality is disgusting. Private companies should not be able to get money on a per tic…

I do wonder if EL is putting themselves in a legally precarious position with denying the plans for that lot on Albert. It's absolutely nuts that preserving surface parking downtown is something that's being championed. Horrible planning policy

I have also been a little disappointed on the lack of new developments further down on E Michigan. Given the road improvements and the time that has elapsed since the last projects I'm expecting at least one new building proposed by one or the other…

I'd hope that with the new traffic light they'll be removing the traffic control there and allowing through traffic on Clippert, the installation of traffic lights would be a baffling choice without that change.

They had a post on their Facebook account that said to expect about one floors worth of windows to be installed per week. It's a good thing to see come together.
