Wow, that got super weird. Is that the same 'subterranean' that's on SSP?
-
Yeah, sorry, Days Inn. We were back in town last summer and at the time they hadn't done anything yet.

Whatever happened to the hotel plan for the old Best Western location? Google Street view from last fall shows a restaurant and maybe a gas station or something going in. Is a hotel replacement still in the works?

It's also not really that far from the Engineering building. It's practically across the street.

Sorry, just got back on so not to back up to far, but I thought when the renderings of the traffic circle were originally released 7-8 years ago or so, that they included a fountain as part of the plan.
-
So I guess that means plans for a fountain are dead? Maybe they have been and I just didn't know.

I surprised (but I guess not surprised) that there's absolutely no dedicated park within the whole area. I mean there's trails and stuff, but you'd think they'd put in a playground or something...

There used to be a used video game store in the weird bi-level building that I went to a few times, but otherwise I can't even remember what was in them.

We lived on Harriet Ave (2 houses in from Michigan) before we moved out here to CA.

...face palm...

I skipped class a few times too when you'd get two trains stopping on the tracks at the same time. There was no telling when it would free up.
-
Oh I definitely crawled through a few stopped trains in my day on Farm Ln. Young and stupid.

Or maybe it's just a Michigan left.

Looks like a new bus stop going in on Hagadorn in front of Hubbard.

So I think the large apartment building looked pretty good in the quick few seconds it took me to pass it on the highway. Just like SkyVue though, there's no escaping the huge parking garage.

I came down 127 yesterday, and like gbdinlansing said, the parking garage is looming large. It's a shame they couldn't have done something to dress it up a little.
