  • Like a lot of the cities "green" efforts this is symobolic. If the city continues to go Green, we may just get some recognition on a national level. I'm not sure how common efforts like using electric cars and Bio-fuels are with other city governmen…
  • I'm still thinking that this whole Eastwood sewer situation is going to be a catlyst for some significant change in the Lansing-Lansing Township Relationship, possibly leading to the annexation of the Township in the not to distant future.
  • Just FYI, I was reading the a story about Harry Hepler and his MotorWheel Lofts in the Greater Lansing Business Monthly and it said that "In the future Hepler is partnering in the rennovation of the former YMCA building, currently vacant." It doesen…
  • I think that one was Gilespie's. I actually don't like it that much, it is exactly the same design as the rowhouses in the Beaumont.
  • I think they have several floors in that building now. I was really hoping to see them continue to expand downtown, there is in fact more space available in Capitol Hall. I'm glad to see the technology learning center is going to happen though, and …
  • I use IE7 and I have always had the problem.
  • I get the feeling this will drag on for quite awhile. And I wouldn't be suprised to see this conflict act as a catalyst for some positive change, if not leading to the eventual annexation of Lansing Twp. Or at least some sort of tax sharing agreemen…
  • Welcome to the forum, and since I rarely go out to MSU or EL it will be helpful to have another person keeping an eye on the developments out there. And of course its nice to have another persons opinion on things.
  • I want to know when they are going to start on the main building here, thats the most important part of this development.

  • I know exactly what your talking about Lmich. I guess I just got used to it, so I didn't bother to say anything.
  • I'm glad to see this, and anxious to see the proposals.
  • And these buildings were among the worst in the city before, I remember the second building, it was open to the outside and in horrible shape not that long ago.
  • The only thing about the space behind the Stadium District is that they have to leave a reasonable amount of space so that people arent looking directly out at a parking garage or into someone elses window. But the city definately needs to build a s…
  • I haven't been by it in awhile. I really do have to go and do another phototour, both of downtown and the northern tier. I've really been slacking, if I can motivate myself I'll get out tomorrow or Sunday.
  • Welcome to the site! I think many people shared your sentimate regarding Washington Sq, I'm still suprised it has taken this long for it to be reopened.
  • The most interesting commercial tennants have not officially been announced yet (im not sure if their leases are finalized,) there is supposed to be a "wine bar" and another "trendy" type bar and of course, a coffee shop.
  • Definately agree. Really Saginaw is falling apart all the way to just east of the mall. Delta Twp is feeling the crunch from Eastwood/northern tier, Holt and itself, further to the west. They really are going to have to do something with the eastern…
  • But West Saginaw near the mall is still nice and by I-96 its really booming. The areas near the factories has been on hard times for awhile now.
  • Just FYI, expect a low quality rennovation here. My dad has been in the building running fiber for the states offices. In talking with the contractors he found that they are not fixing the existing brick facade, not even the sagging parts. They are …
  • I dont see why they wouldn't. It would actually provide a benifit to the areas outside the immediate vicinity of Eastwood and the nicer neighborhoods just south and north of Willow. Most of the rest of the township is very poorly maintained, especia…
