  • Some updates from today: Work seems to be slowing slightly, they are almost done with the half of the building they have been working on.
  • I talked to someone at the EDC and they said that the project IS expected to happen but the timeline is unknown. They said there is still a chance it could break ground this year, but thats doubtful. He said that it will most likely break ground som…
  • I wish I was in the position to buy one of these condos. Where did you hear that a grocery store would be moving in there? That would be great if its true.
  • I really wouldn't want to see that building rehabbed, I want to see it razed for something new, something significant.
  • I really don't know what I would like to see in this site. I wish that more developers, politicians, ect, would check on this site and others like it, that would be great. There is a lot of potential in a lot of different directions for this site, I…
  • Another article on the poroposed RIA: $1B boost to area possible if MSU lands nuclear lab

  • I beleive it's facing main, but I'm not sure.
  • I don't beleive I've ever posted this before, it's the hotel that used to be where Deluxe Inn is now. It was almost as ugly as Deluxe Inn, but at least it was somewhat unique.
  • That's a good idea, one other thing I had forgotten about, have you thought about adding a "Links" section to the site.
  • It looks like the Michigan Electric Building on Washington in REOtown is being rehabbed, all the windows are out as of yesterday.
  • An article from todays LSJ: Sales office's success may boost Capitol Club Tower's height
