....To add a couple of unrelated items: The City Pulse had a couple of stories this week on local businesses, one old (Paramount Coffee), and one new (a new cafe in the old Belen Flowers building on Ionia St) https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stor…

The Macotta Club that was slated for the ground floor of the Knapps Building has been cancelled. I haven't read the LSJ article but details in the City Pulse and TV news articles are sparse. I don't remember how much money was allotted here or where…

Nice pics, good commentary to read. It's been a long time since I've been in Vegas, over 15 years. About all I've heard in recent years is complaints about the rising costs and efforts to make the F1 race weekend incredibly hostile to anyone without…

I wouldn't want to be a manager in this age of work from home. It seems as though it's very much a case-by-case basis as to whether one's job can be done from home without some big drawbacks, and employees don't always agree with their employers on …

I saw the headline but I still refuse to subscribe to a Gannett publication in their current form, especially now that they seem to be blocking my VPN 100% of the time. That being said what I can see looks interesting, I'm waiting on other news outl…

Is it one of those trailers with the telescoping arms that rises up with cameras on the end? I see those all over the place but I've never heard one that announces its presence, they usually just have blue flashing lights. Sounds like you did all th…

I've only saw those American Elm-lined streets in pictures and it really is sad to see what was lost. There is a longstanding effort to create a disease resistant American Elm, or at least a hybrid, hopefully they're successful. I've read that they …

Another setback for the Evergreen property in East Lansing, the pending sale has fallen through: https://eastlansinginfo.news/evergreen-land-sale-falls-through/ The city of EL just can't catch a break around here. The City Center fiasco dragged o…

"Brutal" seems an appropriate word there. I don't really know what to say. A city like Lansing is expected to have public transit so all I can really do is shrug my shoulders.

I found this article about a new rwd Buick and the new Camaro coming to the plant. No information on if it will mean any visible changes at the plant but I doubt it. I'm interested how this plays with the union contract for the plant, also what's…

I just think the project and it's architecture are different and interesting for the area, I kind of like the Scandinavian look in this context. I love that they're squeezing 70+ units onto what looks like maybe 1/3 of their 12 acre site. I hope the…

So depressing, and predictable, that the neighbors came out against this. Do they know how their area is viewed at large? The whole west Holmes corridor is on the precipice of significant decline, any new development like this would be a boon for th…

I still can't believe I made it to a few years ago without realizing beavers were not only present in our area, but kind of common. I had thought they had been eradicated around here. Particularly cool to see when you don't have to deal with the hav…

I like to run into genuine disagreement, I aspire to get to the bottom of it to fault. TBH often for my own selfish purpose of testing the veracity of my stance and self-discovering my own logic behind it. I try, and too often fail, to be diplomatic…

There is nothing of not from the MSU BoT meeting this month but there's another major donation that will enable yet another building project on campus: The MSU School of Packaging has received a large donation that will allow them to undertake a …

That Cincinnati station is fantastic, I'm glad it's preserved and open to the public. I do wish one of our modest old stations could be put back to their intended use. I'll take the passenger counts to EL as a notable positive, hopefully they can…

I'm trying not to be combative but I'm more than a bit dumbfounded in your guys' disbelief that this area is appropriate for housing or mixed use. I'll turn it into bullet points: -Less than1/4 mile north is the original Stadium District Apartments…

A small win: The company behind the downtown data center proposal is withdrawing their proposal https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/deep-green-withdraws-rezoning-request-for-data-center/

It really is a societal issue. Looking at the big picture I often wonder whether we're at the beginning of a structural decline and some of what we're seeing with some of this stuff is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. It really does wreak o…

I saw a large excavator dropped off here in the past couple days, maybe real work is finally beginning? Seeing steel rise here will be a sigh of relief.
