I understand that philanthropists are responsible for most of Grand Rapids' success. That doesn't make Lansing any better though, I just find it very disappointing that none of Lansing's wealthier residents (past or present) have done anything to he…

I know, seeing projects like that in a city as similar as Grand Rapids makes me want to give up on Lansing. We really need to get our act together if we're ever going to be competitive.

Shopping and Skating The city is applying for a grant to build a year-round outdoor skating rink near the City Market. This would be another great addition to that area.

Looking closer at the birds eye view, I'm pretty sure the lake is the bottom of a large shallow gravel pit. the edges of the lake look steep and rough. The hospice is near there and I remember that being inside the pit also. The Sonic is supposed…

Yeah, I meant Beekman. I didn't think about horseback riding though, that makes sense. Looking closer at the area, is Bear Lake the remnants of a gravel pit? I remember there being one in that area, but I haven't been back there in over 10 years.

I agree that Larry Page being from here won't help us out much. He hasn't done anything for this area so far, so I don't see why he would start now, its kinda disappointing really.

I had no idea, I'll have to go by there soon.

Thats good to hear. I can't find the article online, did you see it in the print edition?

I had never heard of Bear Lake Natural Area, but I'm looking at a satellite view and it looks like theres a trail leading into the woods behind Bingham School at the end of Wabash St. I'd actually like to check that out some time.

Lansing's Crego park, closed for contamination in '86, may reopen I would love to see this park reopened, my parents had talked about it being closed years ago. I was always curious what was back there.

I sorta figured that. This is one that I expect to see move forward in the future though. Its a large project backed by a major development company, it's just a matter of when the credit market gets better.

I think that if this ballot measure is approved there would almost certainly be a quick move to build the casinos in all the areas. I think that these new casinos would likely be quite successful, as they would be closer to the population centers th…

I hate the facade 'renovation' they did on Kellys, I had thought that was only a temporary thing. I did see that sign a few a days ago though. As always with these new bars, I'm glad to see the bar district continue to expand, although I'm not to su…

Amended plan for City Center gets green light from East Lansing This is just a follow up of yesterday's story.

I'm glad to hear of more potential construction in downtown EL. It will be nice to have two sizable downtowns in the area. The article didn't really say, but I'm assuming this will be student housing?
