  • Just curious, when does the window reset? This doesn't include images linked from outside websites, does it? I just checked my image-heavy development rundown thread and found only three images hosted here, I'll get those switched over to Flick…
  • I saw that somewhere also. It now has me wondering if they're still going with the design that they've already shown? The renderings and floor plans they showed seemed to me to be fairly far along in the design process. The look of the building as p…
  • I don't make it by there much anymore, I'm glad to hear that project is progressing. I was wondering if it was dead. If it's still the same plan that was proposed a couple years ago it sounds/looks like it should be a cool place: https://www.lansin…
  • I was under the impression that at least some stuff is privatized, maybe I'm mistaken and thinking of the crews I've seen around quasi-governmental properties like the libraries and LEPFA facilities? Is park maintenance still done by city workers? I…
  • I definitely don't hate the idea of ditching those ridiculous shacks in Reutter Park for a nice permanent building with a patio leased out to a restaurant/bar. That could be a really great thing if done right. I absolutely agree that the parks ne…
  • I wouldn't worry, I have virtually no doubt MSU will be doing a proper historic restoration including the windows. My jaw would drop if they did anything other than that.

  • Yup, it's undergoing a renovation: https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2024/msu-approves-campbell-hall-renovation-paving-way-for-honors-college-living-learning-community?sc_camp=05574B1FD3D94D6E8E1747C95BCB4598

  • https://www.wlns.com/news/proposal-to-sell-lansing-icons-heads-to-city-council/ I can't really articulate the level of pissed off I am just hearing that this is being discussed. So it turns out there is some nefarious force within the City gov…
  • A proposal for a Bath School Disaster Museum now has a few more details and some renderings. It'd obviously be a small thing for the area overall but still a cool and worthwhile addition none the less. Another good place in the area for children's f…
  • Another City Pulse story on the city hall move: https://lansingcitypulse.com/stories/at-long-last-a-city-hall-plan-that-may-actually-stick,96661 There's no insight on the building itself but there are a lot of quotes from Schor and councilmembers…
  • Really? With all the demand for housing they can't figure out something better? Lansing Township itself is heavily invested in Eastwood, I imagine that's all they really care about. I'm mostly disappointed in Lansing Township residents at this point…
  • I guess I'm just not a fan of facilities like this being in leased spaces. In the same vain I've always hoped for the South Lansing Library to get a permanent building to call home. For the convenience of residents it certainly doesn't seem li…
  • Putting a community center in the mall seems a very Meridian Township thing to do: https://www.wlns.com/news/meridian-twp-eyes-new-community-senior-center/ It just seems odd to invest so much taxpayer money into what I assume must be leased space…
  • Needless to say given my previous comments, I'm in favor of new construction vs the Masonic Temple move by a long shot so although I'm still not excited about this, it's good news to me... relatively speaking. I love the Masonic Temple Building but …
  • Apparently there will be some announcement as to the location of the new city hall tomorrow and it seems to be implied that this won't be the Masonic Hall now. I'm just hoping it's not at the public safety complex, to move city hall out of downtown …
  • I'm very happy to see that ADU's seem likely to happen. I will almost certainly build one at my house eventually, I have a friend who owns a few investment properties that I'd encourage to add them as well. It could be quite good for me personally. …
  • @citykid Thanks for sharing with us. I've had trouble finding the time to read through that. I was only mildly familiar with the original FBC so I'm entirely dependent on skimming the yellow highlights. Just a couple questions: Is there anything …
  • A couple of things worth sharing... First, there's an LSJ story on BWL's impending construction of a RICE plant out on their Erikson property along with a few updates on their other plans and quotes from neighbors complaining: https://www.lansin…
  • A few quick pictures from last weekend... Neogen building: The new MSU Multicultural Center: New IM building: Farm Ln ridge: A few pics along the soon to be paved phase II of the MSU-Lake Lansing Trail, heading from the …
  • I hadn't heard about moving any sculpture, you're talking the one in Adado? I'm also not a huge fan, at least initially, of moving a sculpture from its place next to the River Trail in a prime downtown park to a median. I too have been impresse…
