I also noticed that. I was wondering if they meant to include the new name in the article or if they didn't intend to mention it getting a new name. I don't have a clue what they would rename it.

Hopefully Gillespie follows through with the plans to begin construction on Market Place by the end of the year. I guess if we see them paving over the site for a parking lot we have something to be worried about.

It looks like it. It also looks like there may be some interesting exterior lighting.

An article on the PSD in todays LSJ: Principle Shopping District gains momentum, support

I think this is a good idea. It would be nice to see the old armory saved and reused.

Cheesecake Factory isn't a restaurant or bar, is it?

I'm especially glad to hear of a potential restaurant tenant. I can't wait to hear more on that.

I agree with all your points except the one about the stadium, I look at Olds Park as the one thing we've done right, I don't think it could be any better given our city's size. The Lansing Center is an embarrassment, and a simple expansion won't ch…

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.

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.
