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.

Speculative news on CADL leaving their current downtown building to move into.... the ground floor of the N Grand Ramp. The fact that moving our central public library into a functionally obsolete parking ramp is even being considered is dishearteni…

Another week with not much news on the development front. There is a small item in the upcoming council meeting: There's an OPRA proposal for a rehab of the building at the SW corner of Baker & Cedar, I'm not sure if this is the same people who …

I did not know that. I can't complain about investing in infrastructure around there, having a sidewalk out to Grand River is a no-brainer regardless of whether bus service goes right to the terminal. That being said, I'd imagine that they will cont…

"Whatever" is appropriate I think. The corner was going to be developed somehow, and when I frequented that area more I would have appreciated an alternative to Speedway.

You'll get no arguments from me against the Chinese tariffs as China has been fighting a soft/grey war against the US for decades, how directly related this move is to that is tough to say but it's hard to argue it's unrelated. I'm hoping Tesla eyes…

Big news: Tesla signed a deal with LG to switch their Lansing plant to a new battery tech which will supply Tesla through at least 2030, the deal is worth $4.3 billion and they expect production to start in just over a year. Sad for GM that it turne…

They showed their first proposal in a zoning board meeting back in November or December, I posted about it here a month or so afterwards, it was horrible. The back of the building faced Michigan and the drive-thru line ran right along Michigan Ave's…

Lansing Township's site is absolutely horrible, they do not want public input on this stuff. The fact that the empty Rite Aid was remodeled so quick and this old gas station property is getting a multi floor building is a great sign for the continue…

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

Yeah, lots in there. Tons of fluff to help grant applications (and justify those consulting fees). I just thumb to the maps that include the proposed trails and the tables that lay out priorities and timelines. I'll have to dig into it in the coming…
