  • Well, according to the State News, the EL city council has voted to terminate this project. I hope they know what they're doing, but I doubt it. I know Strathmore has been dysfunctional, but EL has been mismanaged for years. I love the city anyw…
  • The site plan definitely doesn't match. I think they were pushed north by the cinema expansion. I guess the cinema owners get their pick. They do bring a lot of customers to Eastwood. Also, the scale of the project seems to have been taken down …
  • Haha. Ok. Actually, Eastwood somewhat blurs the distinction between mall and strip-mall. It's concentrated, like a mall- but also has drive up parking. The main building in question is different than that, yes... It has a parking garage (a good …
  • Here is an article from today's LSJ. The only new news regards the specified businesses and the timetable. There is also a new street-level rendering. The parking garage is currently being built (and going up pretty quickly), and its ground floor…
  • Am I seeing it correctly? The development will be on the north side of "Showtime Drive?" The parking ramp has over a thousand parking spaces... who is going to park there? Those things are expensive- If I was the owner of the Theater, I would wan…
  • It looks great, and I think that the project will be mostly successful. The housing is key because it means potential customers will be living on-site. A hotel is probably the next step (moderately sized, with some banquet and meeting facilities)…

  • Does anyone have details regarding the negotiations between the Gillespie Group and the unions? I am absolutely in favor of this development (and the Armory) moving forward. I have met the Gillespies and spoken with them about their plans, and I b…

  • I think that the new sculpture actually increases the possibility of the ice rink being built. OK- maybe it doesn't 'increase the possibility,' but it does point to an increased probability. The city/ committee wouldn't put this sculpture somewher…
  • I was looking over at the Post bar building yesterday as I was eating on the patio at Noodles and Co- and I was struck by the impact that the redevelopment of that building and the inclusion of 8 story apartments (next door) will have on the area. …
  • (my first post- but I've been following the site for a long time). Traffic is awful on Lake Lansing at rush hour, particularly from Marfitt to 127. I live in Groesbeck- and getting home from Kroger or Meijer is stressful to say the least at that t…
