If MLK Blvd, a major commercial road and state highway lined with a diverse array of businesses that cuts through Lansing's southwest side could get a formal renaming in the late 80's/early 90's, these renamings really aren't a problem. The cost to business is a greatly exaggerated worry that never pans out to be unnecessarily burdensome.
Anyway, the Deluxe Inn at Main and Washington is now rubble. The site will be completely cleaned up over the next two weeks and be planted with grass while waiting for redevelopment. This is the fastest I've ever seen the city prep for redevelopment, which I hope means they are going to aggressively seek redevelopment. Thank god for the work of the land bank and EDC. These guys are tenacious and bullish on the redevelopment of the city.
