At 113 Years Old, Grand River Station Soon Becoming Lofts
Considering what new police stations look like today, it’s hard to believe that this amazing piece of architecture was originally built to be one. The same goes for new apartment buildings, which is why it’s equally difficult to believe that the Grand River Station will soon be known as the Castle Lofts, meaning people will get to live in a building that looks like that. In fact, it could be you. Leasing is starting soon.
The Castle will offer units between one and four bedrooms, some with luxurious features like jacuzzi tubs and heated garage space. But, as the photos show, this isn’t a maximum luxury/exclusive sort of building. It’s surprisingly affordable, with prices between $550-$1,525/month including water and wi-fi service. The ground floor of each building is being offered as office space.

Peter Lanza: Suspect’s father learned news from a reporter
What do we know about Adam Lanza’s father, Peter?According to a harrowing story in the Stamford Advocate, a reporter broke the news to him Friday afternoon about his son Adam’s alleged involvement in the Newtown massacte.”Is there something I can do for you?” he asked me, after stopping his blue Mini Cooper in his driveway and rolling down the window. He wore a blue-and-white striped button-down shirt, his hair neatly parted to side. I told him I was a reporter for the Stamford Advocate, and I was surprised that no click of recognition flash across his face. So I continued, explaining that I’d been told someone at his address had been linked to the shootings in Newtown. His expression twisted from patient, to surprise to horror; it was obvious that this moment, shortly after 1:30 p.m. Friday, was the first time he had considered his family could have been involved. He quickly declined to comment, rolled up the window, parked in the right side of the two-car garage and closed the door. Moments later he sat at a table in the front of his three-bedroom house, a phone to his left ear and a palm to his right cheek.Continue Reading… … Read More
