I think the Lansing Reddit is certainly out of touch. Facebook is more all-encompassing but I think people with more extreme views tend to share them more frequently, the audience for many individual pages/posts tends to be one sided. The proverbial…

@sabatoa Well said. I wish it were just a Reddit issue (there just seems to be a sort of Marxist political element over there) but the same attitude is present on Lansing-related Facebook posts and throughout the community in my anecdotal encounters…

We really should have some benefactors though. The RE Olds money was squandered. Larry Page is from EL and has done nothing (to my knowledge) for the area, Magic Johnson hasn't done much either. Multiple large insurance companies based here which ha…

Didn't catch the address thing. Weird. When you search 108 S Grand in Google Maps it comes up in that LSJ parking lot. My first thought was a mix up with the potential project on the Granger lot.

It's all been a long time coming. I'm (more than) a bit jealous of GR. Over the years I've reluctantly come to realize the lack of vision around here is a community-wide problem, not just city leadership like I wanted to believe. The lack of any maj…

Both Riverview 220 and Grand Vista Place showed up in the planning committee's agenda this week, the staff reports state that construction is imminent on both, December and January respectively. Neither had any site plans or renderings, not even a f…

Hey, something positive for Delta Crossings: a Bass Pro Shop. It'll be 85k sq ft and is set to open in early 2026: https://www.wlns.com/news/bass-pro-shops-coming-to-lansing/

I wondering if you forgot that or were talking about something else lol A friend who's a CATA employee said there were rumors of the CATA offices going in the LSJ building, not directly from anyone of authority though. I think @citykid mentioned …

What about the 425 S Grand Lot? Besides the new City Hall you mean?
-
@sabatoa That's a fair point. I certainly won't argue that Delta Crossing is a net positive for the area, at least without its residential element. That's an interesting perspective as to Delta's westward ambitions, I too wish they'd incorporate.…

Yeah, I don't know how much to blame the lawsuits between developers/investors for the not so great tenants at Delta Crossings but it has been a mess and wasn't going to exactly be great looking even if completed to the original plan. I don't know i…

UofM Sparrow ups the ante on their hostility towards this community: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/um-sparrow-ends-talks-with-group-that-wants-to-preserve-old-eastern-high-school,106432

Things have been slow in East Lansing development-wise but they're still moving forward with putting together an RFP process on the Evergreen properties. The LSJ has a story today with relatively little new information but it does confirm that the …

All the more disappointing that there's local developers actually willing to take the project on and they're being snubbed. And yeah, throughout my arguments with people on Reddit I was referring to Walter French, Holmes St and Cedar St schools a…

Yeah, there's been so many buildings restored/renovated that have been abandoned for years and decades; buildings with caved-in roofs, fire damage, important missing details, crumbling exteriors, etc... There's no way they can look at me with a stra…

Disappointing to hear about the Hillsdale project but it is what it is at this point I suppose. Sparrow/UofM are making silly statements about Eastern, justifying its destruction because of a lack of air conditioning along with out dated electric…

One of my parents grew up in a house on Clemens with an adu older than the main house, it's still in the family and rented out. I wonder if it's one the ones you've found? I always thought it was a cool setup.

@citykid shared the information awhile back.

The housing commission bought the old LSJ parking lot south of the MBA building on Grand for their phase two. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VDAgCKhhSKoR4sNP7

Grabbed a few pics of construction on the east side of town: A section of newly paved Michigan Ave: The fountains in Michigan Ave median are finally working! In fact all the water features throughout the Red Cedar development and Ranney Pa…
