Ottawa Street Station/Accident Fund. That building is a gem. I am sure Accident Fund will honor it, considering their investment, but like you said- proactive.

it's pretty clear the people who want to develop in Lansing don't care. It's pretty clear that the people of Lansing don't care either. The contempt they show for people trying to save anything in the city blows my mind.

Schor almost sounds petty in the article. They didn't like his design, so screw it let's approve the first thing that they show me that comes in on budget.

Zero vision. Zero gravitas. Nothing to inspire.

I've been out of country for the last week watching from afar. I am beyond disgusted. This place is a shithole, run by the smallest minds imaginable. The fact that the "either/or" argument was bought by most people fills me with dread. The only r…

@MichMatters When we're talking caps, just realize that we're most likely talking a few blocks at the eastern end of downtown (Grand, Washington, Capitol); it'd definitely won't be a full tunnel, which requires a complicated ventilation, drainage, …

It killed me going to GR for their Christmas market, seeing their ice rink and the crowds there on a random Thursday night. I immediately thought of the half-assed attempt at Reutter and felt grumpy about it on the way home.

I have to wonder if part of the resistance to giving up parking is that DTMB/Whitmer wanted to leave open the possibility of massive return to office. Under MDHHS Director Hertel, thousands of previously 100% remote managers were forced to return to…

That last link is great- I always wondered where the extension into Eaton County from the SW trail would lead.

Both McLaren and Sparrow rent space in a large medical center building on Saginaw behind the Taco Bell. I'm curious what the building owner will do now that they are losing the two major tenants.

They pull that crap. I caught them jumping my price from like $7.99 to $12/month, so I canceled. Then I got an offer to renew for the whole year for like $29 total, so I did that. But you just reminded me to look and it looks like they got me for $4…

After looking into that a bit more the namesake Schuster Family donated $8 million for its construction, so philanthropy is also at play. Finally. Lack of philanthropy has been something holding Lansing back compared to GR.

Those affordable apartments are so incredibly bad. They're soulless and ugly, and it looks like a communist block building, or a prison block. They're going to remake Cabrini-Green...

Okay, aside from the stickies still not working correctly, I'm having everything marked as read even when I just click into one thread. I've noticed that too, that started happening around the time this sticky talk happened.

Some deserved discontent from the bike community about the bait and switch on Michigan Avenue. Instead of dedicated protected bike lanes like shown here; I guess the bikes are just sharing the sidewalk with pedestrians or light poles; I was…

Great catch. I love that stretch of the river trail, from Hawk Island, Scott Woods, Sycamore.

Even MSU has their name on more buildings in GR than they do in Lansing. It pisses me off that GR benefits from their wealthy families and institutions all trying to outdo each other with philantropy, and ours act like they don't even know about Lan…

Who knows the factuality, but this person says that the Township was incentivised to push development west rather than focusing on infill; https://www.facebook.com/groups/517livingcommunity/posts/3976196969369950/?comment_id=3976224942700486&re…

Do people down the road have more money? Based on the types of businesses and their target markets, it seems that no one thinks that there's real money in Delta Twp- whether near the mall or near the highway.

I don't know if I'd quite call it sprawl for sprawls sake Yeah, I'm basically referring to the fact that the development is just the same businesses frog jumping down Saginaw rather than attracting new tenants to the township.
