I'm might be the only one here, but I support the expansion of Eastwood. It's not going to take away from any Lansing shopping centers, or from downtown. and I'd rather have Eastwood be developed than W Saginaw, or either of the malls. At least East…

I'm really suprised to see Dayton had that many. I feel the same way though, I wouldn't consider the number of homicides to be any problem unless we consistantly get 20 or more per year, anything less and we still have a low crime rate. We have just…

Any thoughts on this recent "crime wave?" The way it is being reported doens't exactly help the cities image. With 11 murders so far this year, we're on track for a high-crime year, but probably still not near the crime rates in the 80's, at least w…

That might be cool, attracting a chain resturaunt is important to downtown. I just wish it could be a better chain than buffalo wild wings, something like TGI's or something.

On the note of people who comment on LSJ stories, their idiots. I am constantly amazed at their stupidity, I try to avoid reading the comments now because someone is usually saying something dumb enough to really make me mad. Sometimes its hard not …

New state police building OK'd It's still a rough rendering so maybe we could still see some minor to moderate changes in the design, hopefully anyways.

They have started to apply some of the brick on the first floor, I seen it in the dark though, so I really couldn't tell how it looked.

An interesting item from todays council agenda: Transfer Ownership of 2006 Class C Licensed Business with Dance-Entertainment Permit, Located in escrow at 500 E. Grand River Ave., Lansing, MI 48906, Ingham County, from Temple Club LLC to 414 Entert…

Oh, I didn't know the difference. But one thing I forgot to mention, Pat Gillespie is married to one of the Eyde's daughters according to another commercial realtor I talked too awhile back. Which explains how he entered into such large developments…

That awning is a drive-thru for the bank, not parking. I agree that they have slowed a little in their progress. And the Gillespie should be pushing construction along, time is money. It costs huge amounts of money in interest and taxes on a propert…

I think the Cedar Street school would be a likely redevelopment for someone like Gillespie to take on, I'm not sure what use would best fit that property though. As for Shiwassee & Cedar, if he can buy the block of buildings out, except maybe th…
-
I have a feeling that Gillespie doesn't really plan on having these buildings long. He probably bought them with the intentions to either redevelop or as speculative property and he will sell when values in the area begin to rise.
-
I seen one of his signs near the SE corner of Shiawassee & Cedar, advertising 15,000 sq ft. I'm not sure which building that could be. He obviously has big expectations for that area. There may even be the possibility that the Cedar/Larch area, …

Was that lowered stretch of the river starting to stink much yet? I bet it will get pretty bad.
-
I think there are far too many art museums that look like #1 and #4, # 3 looks ugly but I really can't tell much from the picture, I personally don't like #2 at all, it looks like a biosphere. #5 is different looking and is imposing on its surroundi…

There is no formal plans, but Bernero has hinted at the possibility of something like light rail along Michigan. I just wish he would make a real push for it, once the process is started it could easily take ten years before construction begins, dep…

Now if only we could get light rail...

I like the last one best also, but the first one is alright too.

I think it will be cool to see something significant get developed on the North side of Ottawa, I hope thats were the office space will go, its also where it would make the most sense.
