bah, I'm late to the discussion regarding Holmes/Pleasant Grove. That's the site of the LEAP project's town square and public art space, the parking lot in across Pleasant Grove from QD. That and the addition of Beacon SW would be huge for the ne…

I know in the 3rd Ward we have the South Side Community Coalition based at Holmes/Pleasant Grove, and that area is going to get some placemaking upgrades in the near future. There's some chatter about what to call that region too. I've been trying t…

I feel like extending REO town further south than Baker and East of the plot lines along Washington is a stretch. Fabulous Acres is an established (if unattractive) community in that area. To me, REO Town starts just below South Street.

That's a beautiful old building.

haha, that's pretty cool; https://s3.amazonaws.com/pastperfectonline/images/museum_263/023/201706003072-82.jpg

Do you have a specific address? Everything is listed by parcel, and without an address to look up the property data I wouldn't know how to find the parcel.
-
Here's an example: Current parcel number: 33-01-01-34-378-131 Old Parcel number: 3301-34-378-131 So you combine the first two digits with the 3rd and 4th digits 33-01-01 becomes 3301 and then the sequence from there is the same. The listin…

I've had a ton of fun looking up familiar homes on this resource. Sadly they had all of my neighbors but somehow skipped by my place.

Debate about the merits of tearing down the current city hall building; lansingcitypulse.com/article-15127-Lansing-City-Hall.html So suddenly we care about bland "mid-century modern" when we can barely be bothered to save actual historic sites. C…

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…

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.

hah, in my searching I came across a thread from 12 years ago where I was talking about those old signs. @hood is in the thread too; https://urbanplanet.org/forums/topic/16794-lansing-skyline-early-1900s/

@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- …

That LCC tower (whatever the heck it is/was) used to be on the welcome to Lansing signs that featured the skyline.

That settles it then, I'm going to have to force it to happen despite the protests.

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.
