Agreed. I'm just tired of that site, which could and should be one of the most lively sections of town, continuing to lay vacant and drab. That's supposed to be the grand entrance to the city.

As far as the rendering is concerned, I'm actually quite impressed. I know a lot of things can change in a short period of time, but compared to City Center I, this is a major improvement. The brick boxes that have been going up in E.L. as of late fall incredibly short of anything I would consider inspiring. Not that CC II is incredible or anything, but compared to anything that has been built in Lansing or E.L., it's quite an improvement in my opinion. Now if only the developer of East Village can manage to not Disney-fy the project, we might have the workings of a nice little city on our hands.
