I just worked out at the downtown YMCA and the upstairs expansion is well underway. The walls are all knocked out and plastic up for the construction going on in the north portion of the upstairs. Downtown had lots of foot traffic on Washington Sq. …

Yeah, that's great to hear...I think a big step will be made when Troppos moves across the street and Tavern moves to the current Troppo location. I'm very hopeful that that will connect the Michigan Ave. and Wash Sq. entertainment districts...right…

If it's not too personal, is there a reason for the name change?

One more thing, I think I said it before, but there's a part of me that almost wants the Capitol Club to be put on hold...when the markets stabilize, if this project hasn't broken ground already, I think it would go back up to 18-20 floors. I would …

As much as I came off as a "sky is falling" kind of person with the City Market, I'm not too worried about projects being put on hold right now. As long as the Accident Fund and new City Market are built, I think we're doing very well. With the econ…

At the Downtown Neighborhood Associatin meeting yesterday LCC's VP of Public Relations talked about their being work done to replace the surface lot at Shiawasee and Capitol (I think) with a new Science and Technology building for their expanding pr…

There is a carded access gate to the parking lot on Washington Sq. immediately north of the library.

I got an invitation from the Public Service Dept. and the PSD for "input for the upcoming streetscape project onS. Washington Sq." I'm sure they wouldn't be upset if some you came. It's this Thursday, Jan. 29, 8am at the Radisson Hotel, Michigan Roo…

Another good piece of news: the Michigan Credit Union League is moving it's office from Northville to downtown Lansing in the building that Troppos is in. They are taking up the entire 9th floor (9,000 sq/ft). Great to hear businesses moving from th…

I found it really interesting that it's being announced in the Renaissance Center like it involves GM but there isn't any official partnership. Good timing with the North American Auto Show. But yeah, this could be particularly exciting for Michigan…

Me personally I wouldn't go as far as politics and others unless they relate to Lansing in some way, at least tangentially. However, I think that although the previous debate got a little heated/personal and there was some unnecessary name calling, …

I got on Magic Johnson's Foundation website a couple weeks ago and sent an e-mail basically saying a "Magic Johnson Center for Performing Arts" would be perfect in downtown Lansing given it's his hometown and he targets urban areas for revitalizatio…

Anyone know what the IBM downtown Lansing office does? (the one at One Michigan Ave.) If this new IBM center in E. Lansing grows as predicted, maybe IBM would consolidate Lansing operations into the current Accident Fund building...or even better, b…

schurymi: It's between the Pita Pit and The Peanut Shop.

Coolbreeze, please show me exactly what sentence I wrote that lead you to believe I think "Lansing needs to depend completely on the auto industry." My last post stated: "I think a diversified economy includes biotech, IT, healthcare, education et…

The really frustrating thing for me is that I agree with almost all of you said LMich. I agree that manufacturing is important for the U.S. and Lansing and I think it would be a big mistake to let it go, both economically as well as strategically. I…

ONE MORE TIME: I think the new battery work coming to Michigan is a GREAT thing!

LMich, do you even read my ENTIRE posts? Please reread the first sentence of my last paragraph in my previous post: "Keep in mind, my point is theoretical, because in this specific case, I think this opportunity is worth the risk and I fully agree/s…

There's a difference between saying yes to an industry, and saying yes while giving them $millions of tax credits to entice them here. Also, how's it good to bring 50,000 jobs to the state if all you're doing is adding 50,000 more people to the unem…

I can see what Coolbrezze is say about the potential for jobs not being positive. If these jobs are all going to be dependent on the auto industry, how is that a step towards diversifying the economy...which is something we have agreed in the past i…
