Especially for booths like the dairy/cheese booth. There's no way they'd be able to keep their equipment outside all the time, and it would be wholly impractical to move it back and forth. Hopefully they change they're mind a bit and include a sma…

I like how in the ballpark images all of the ads on the back stop are for Gillespie properties and other large developments. Very sneaky....

Why is WILX reporting that the city market is "going away" as a part of this new development? They seem to be blatantly ignoring the fact that Gillespie said it is going to be incorporated into the first floor of the building (hence the name Market…

On the news they kept showing pictures of a lot of the rundown buildings behind the stadium, and oddly, pictures of the Lansing City Market. They didn't say anything about the market land being part of the purchase, but they sure implied it with th…

There's a good read on the story behind this whole process over at the City Pulse. Of interesting note: apparently they're moving the big chillers to "Allegan and Pine", which I assume means they're going to put new (smaller) chillers on one of the…

I'm sorry, what was that? I think I missed it.

My comic book manager friend Tom (of Clem's Collectibles), is friends with the guy. As far as I know it's still on track. But I have no idea how the time line has changed (or even if it has).

D-d-d-d-daaaannngg...... It's not public use necessarily, but still, at least something is FINALLY happening there. $182 Million... wow!

There seems to be some physical confirmation that the large building on the corner is not happening in the near future. They started planting grass....

Here's a few shots of the different parts of the building: The cornice work LMich was talking about, didn't realize it was a faux cornice, but I guess that makes sense. The real thing would have been way too expensive. The concrete fa…

Here's a few updated shots from about a week ago. The first is a wide shot of the whole building. The second is a shot of the far half that has the brick work well under way, and the last shot is a close up of the multi-colored brick work. I didn…

Ok, so these are about a week old. And I make no claims about the actual picture quality. I was having some major exposure problems that day. Here are some shots of the work going on on Michigan Ave, and the work on Washington near LCC. …

As far as I know, the owner is selling off the building in pieces, with the owner of my friends comic shop probably purchasing the lower floor under land contract.

The "comic shop" building is converting the second floor into loft apartment(s). I can't remember if there are one or two going in. They're also remodeling the ground floor level to include a garage in the back. While this will take some of my go…

True, I'm always surprised at how many people are scared to go onto the campus. Like it's some kind of giant, strange, otherworldly place, where people get lost and are never found again. While very few people can tell you where every building on …

I've driven by many a Tim Horton's in my day, but I've never actually stopped to eat at one. Now I'll have little excuse, as I'll drive by one everyday.

Rumor has it they're also putting one on near the corner of Waverly and St Joe, just a mile or so from my house!
-
I think their purpose was to design a building that would be just as much of a piece of art, as the many pieces that will be housed inside it. Besides, something like this, that will no doubt become a public attraction, needs to stand out. I've be…

It's an art museum, and the administration and the Broads wanted something that would push the envelope.
