  • I haven't been to them, but Google is showing me there is the Archives and Curious Book Shops on Grand River and three comic stores in the downtown area, I'd say that's OK for a community EL's size in the internet age. I could see downtown EL suppor…
  • They're proposing to replace the existing Marathon Station at the southeast corner of Abbott and Saginaw with a new uniquely designed station: PDF with elevations (rough sketches) 8/26/2016 Planning Commission Agenda (see item7b) Also, th…
  • It looks like things will be moving a little quicker than expected with this, there will be a public hearing with the East Lansing Planning Commission on September 14th for the building at Grand River and Abbott. The building will be 12 floors, with…
  • It's worth noting that at one point a small (I think 500 seat?) theater was supposed to go in the main corner building, it would've been managed by Wharton. I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility of that idea resurfacing. I agree with you on a…
  • I just hope the council/residents don't try to micro manage this proposal. Suggesting/wishing for a grocery store is fine, but I hope it doesn't become an expectation or requirement. Personally, I really doubt a grocery store would do well there, wi…
  • It's great to see the developer behind this, it looks like they've done a few good quality projects. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't indicate any sort of time frame for the project but I guess that's not too surprising at this point. I'm …
  • I was wondering if they had a Breslin construction cam, they don't even link to it on their site. I added it to the Breslin thread for future reference. One thing that I hadn't really thought about before was that as large as 1855 Place seems, at…
  • A construction cam for this project: Breslin Webcam
  • I didn't know that was the Historical Society there, any idea what types of displays they have or what they do as an organisation?
  • Thanks for that, I was wondering if this had a webcam somewhere.
  • Major developments in store for Hope Soccer Complex: $17M vision for Hope Sports Complex includes hotel, domed field
  • @gomsu It'd really be nice to see a local history museum someday. One option might be to have CADL incorporate a small local history museum into a new downtown library if they go for their millage again. If not that then perhaps something run by a n…
  • I found an aerial showing the area near Ottawa. I could maybe see it being the building at the end of Ottawa in the first image, with the smokestack behind it.
  • It's definitely not the old LSJ building, besides that I'm not of much help identifying it.
  • Those are some pretty nice signs. I'd always wanted to know more about what the Lansing area plants were building during the war, do you have any idea? I just wanted to add another good Lansing history book to pick up: Out of a wilderness: An ill…
  • No surprise here: Clara's Lansing Station will be sold to Gillespie Group
  • @Rads Thanks for the photos, they'll always be appreciated here. I don't know if I ever talked about them here, but I wanted to share a few books I continually go back to for Lansing history stuff, lots of photos with good info in paragraph long …
  • Regarding the visitors center funding, the Michigan strategic fund is involved in taking out the bonds but they will be paid for through the tobacco tax funded Capitol facilities budget. I'd think that fact bodes well for the future of this project.…
  • @Rads Are you going through photos owned by someone who's picky about making them public? I know that myself and others would be interested in any photos that you're willing and/or able to share. I would personally love to see photos of the older in…
  • The master plan shows the University Village/Cherry Lane along with the current Spartan Village property as being mixed use and are amongst the properties expected to be developed by 2031 (stated as being "Building Opportunities-20 year horizon" as …
