Things seem to be looking up for 1600 block of Kalamazoo, the Allen St Farmers Market seems poised to continue expanding and improving while their presence also makes other business more willing to set up nearby. It seems like I remember other good …

BRT has been pushed back to some point after 2018, right? If that's the case then there's no way they can wait to repave it. I'd think the best thing to do would be large properly done patches over the worst parts of the road, like they did on Mt Ho…

I've been surprised to see how slow the work is on The Outfield, I wonder what's taking so long? The article is a little misleading, Capital City Homebrew is moving into the Stadium District area, not the actual building. It says they'll be at 62…

MichMatters was able to find the height of Skyvue in the planning documents a couple pages back in this thread. The main roof parapet wall will rise to 106', the highest point of the roof will be 125'. So the height of the main roof will only be 4' …

Yeah, it will look very out of place, at least for awhile. I've been trying to picture how tall it will be compared to the Sears water tower, I'm thinking they'll be pretty close in height.

Yeah, I have no idea what it could be. I expect that Gillespie will redevelop the plaza he owns at that corner someday, but not very soon as it looks like he put a decent amount of money into remodeling it when he built Midtown. I can't imagine the …

Christman has a webcam for the Sparrow construction: Sparrow Plaza Also, Sparrow has website dedicated to construction updates (I'll add this link to the first post): Building Sparrow

For reference here's a picture of the mural:

Regarding the debris in the river, the BWL organizes the Adopt-A-River clean up every spring: Adopt-A-River - BWL I participated in it a few times when I was a kid, I really should again. There's events and giveaways for the volunteers plus they …

A quick update on the various Sparrow construction: -The new medical arts building on Saginaw was topped out last week. -The structure is complete and they've finally begun on the facade for the new cafeteria -The new parking structure is a…

It's good to see this moving forward. I'm especially happy that they chose a location besides the old GM properties, those sites are befitting a more intense use than a solar farm.

I'm by this site a lot so I'll be anxiously watching how the construction unfolds, it's great to hear that things are getting going. The "scooper" would likely be a back hoe (on wheels, smaller with a wide bucket up front and a narrow one in back…

I wouldn't be surprised if the approval of this incentive is why they expected a November start, the decision just may have come a little later than expected. Hopefully we'll see this project get going soon.

On the note of old growth forests, as far as I know the best kept example in the lower peninsula is within Hartwick Pines State Park: Hartwick Pines State Park - DNR Hartwick Pines - Wikipedia

@MichMatters As far as I knew the outdoor rink remained open for at least some time after the indoor rink closed. As I remember, the original discussions were to just close the indoor rink and leave the outdoor rink open. I can't seem to find any of…

Regarding the Element building, it was completed in time for students to move in at the beginning of the school year, there's just been nothing on the ground floor. As for the state of the East Lansing City Council, I'm not sure what to say. That…

I knew that they closed indoor rink some time ago, but I think when I was through there last winter the outdoor rink wasn't even open. It's sad because everything was fairly nice that last time I was there, not long before they closed the indoor rin…

@MichMatters Yeah, in that site plan Saginaw is to the right and I-96 is up top. The hotel being pushed so far back from Saginaw is certainly disappointing. I don't understand why the developer of the hotel would even want the site configured lik…

The most recent Delta Township board meeting agenda had a site plan but no renderings or elevations in it: 11/16/2015 Agenda, Delta Township board agendas/minutes. There are agendas for the planning commission here, but I went back to June and found…

City Pulse also had something on this: New In Town- City Pulse It's a pretty eye catching design, I'll be glad to see the place there.
