That was one of the issues Adam Hussein brought up- that the corridors of the South Side look rough and are lagging, but hidden behind the corridors are strong neighborhoods full of people that currently leave the neighborhood when they need to shop.

The community forum was great yesterday. The vision is to make Holmes/Pleasant Grove the "downtown" of SW Lansing and the first baby step is building a town square/public art space in the parking lot at that intersection. This is the location of …

Unicorn was pretty bland. Gillespie says he plans on keeping live music and cheap drinks. I think it's a net gain for the neighborhood. Moving to the south side, there's a forum this evening to discuss some place making initiative on Holmes/Pleas…

oh man, this is cool. He's probably doing a lot of work himself, or at least financing a lot of it, and so the long turnaround. Mr. Taco on MLK is taking forever too, but because Bill is doing pretty much all the work himself.

I have never set that up, sorry!

YES, it was completely out of scale and most people didn't know what building it was until you told them. I'm still trying to find a pic of the stupid thing, even if only for nostalgia's sake.

@Jared the Lansing city limit sign I'm referring to pre-dates the Lugnut stack above the Nuthouse. I'm trying to find an old photo too, but coming up dry. The LSJ did a little interest piece on the LCC tower as a result of the sign a long time ago- …

I've never been to Troppo but I'm across the street at Tavern and Tap often. I keep trying to check Troppo out, but the people I'm with are chased off by bad word of mouth somehow.

I appreciate the comments, I'm more of an interested party than a local expert though so my comments or thoughts are seldom worth posting.

Jeez, I knew about the western end of Lansing Township and the areas near Eastwood, but I didn't know that there were sections south of Michigan and on the other side of 127. Gross.

Floor plans have been added to their website: http://liveskyvue.com/floor-plans. Definitely student-focused housing, which I knew but forgot.

"Beyond a shot at influencing the project, Meridian’s action is little more than formal because it cannot stop the BRT. The CATA board even can choose to ignore the resolution." http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/community/okemos…

Just commenting to second hood's comments- I'd love to see these photos as well.
