    The beach and surrounding park always feels desolate and run down every time we go there. 

    Agreed.  I've always thought the massive mostly unused parking lot for fisherman would be much better suited for a campground similar to Grand Haven's.  Would add a lot more life and vibrancy to the beach area.

  2. Will probably have the nicest views of any Hampton Inn in Michigan if built.

    A proposed five-story, 108-room hotel Hampton Inn and Suites would sit several hundred feet back from the Lake Michigan shoreline and just steps from Manistee's First Street Beach. The hotel would replace the current two-story Lakeshore Motel, 101 Lakeshore Drive

    I've always loved this building, but it's probably not the highest/best use of the property with its location next to VAI and the Medical Mile. There's a rendering of a really cool, quite tall flatiron-style building on this site. Would be cool to see the high rise concept reborn. I believe it was Visbeen who did the rendering I saw. No asking price on the listing? Anyone know if there is a price somewhere in the MLS?   https://www.crexi.com/properties/466357/michigan-cornerstone-apartments

    Very cool looking building!  Will be interesting to see what it goes for.  Also fun to spot one of the prints I sell out in the wild in the dining room photo :) .

  4. This person on Reddit heard a Symphony Hall...  Maybe just a made up rumor or very old info??

    It's owned by the DeVos family through RDV Corp and at one point there were talks of building a symphony hall there that would free up all of the dates that the symphony has at DeVos Performance Hall for other shows

    Little River Holdings, the non-casino investment arm of the Little River Tribe, is planning on investing pretty heavily into downtown Manistee. New hotel, restaurant, a new park, and just outside of downtown some new affordable housing. As soon as I get any more info I'll post it here. 

    I heard the same thing.  A friend of mine who runs a construction company was heading up there to bid on it I believe.  I’ll have to see if I can get details.  Would be very cool for Manistee!

    I also heard the new owners of the massive 1907 Iron Works building downtown on the river want to turn it into a grow facility.  Would have been cool if the tribe renovated that into a mixed use development.
     

     

  6. I'll look for Hoffa next :)  The key to this puzzle was using a satellite view that was taken in late Fall/Winter to help the evergreens stand out.  Then I just scoured some warehouse type areas looking for a line of pine trees across the street from some arborvitaes with a loading dock type driveway.  

    Do I win free climbing for a year? !?

    MDOT says these are strictly concepts and that there is no plan to extend M-231 “at all” because there are no funds. Even if the plan was approved, construction would not begin for another 6-8 years after approval.

    Looking at the concept, there doesn't seem to be a ramp from Eastbound 196 to Northbound 231...  I would think some traffic would want to use it as a bypass of Holland and Grand Haven heading northbound on 31.

  8. Slightly off topic, but very timely given the Amway renovations.  Our resort just offered up their Stickley Brothers chairs from 1915 for sale last week.  I guess they were originally purchased for the Pantlind hotel until a major renovation in 1940, then were used at the Portage Point Resort until today.  Sounds like they are all sold out already in the off chance you were interested.

    Stickley Brothers Dining Room Chairs

    Dearest PPI Friends,
     
    We are writing to you in regards to our collection of dining room chairs produced in ca. 1915 by the Stickley Brothers Furniture Company of Grand Rapids. 
     
    In fact, a 1915 renovation inspired the Pantlind Hotel (today known as the Amway Grand of Grand Rapids) to purchase these chairs, until they traveled to our hidden gem around 1940. These chairs have been used at the Portage Point Inn's dining room ever since by generations of vacationers.
     
    As Portage Point Inn is beginning to obtain steady business in our dining room, we are concerned with the wear and tear on these rear antique chairs. Therefore, we have decided to sell the Stickley chairs and purchase standard commercial chairs. We are offering them at $50/piece. If you or your family are interested in acquiring a piece of history and memorabilia, please contact us at 231.889.7500 or [email protected]
     
    Sincerely, 
     
     
    Portage Point Inn Management
