“Trailhead” development project
Posted in city services, tagged City of Plymouth, Trailhead development on February 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The old factory/warehouse on the west side of Lilley/Mill, between Ann Arbor Trail Road and Main Street, was partially demolished months ago. Clearly some development project has been in the works or demolition would have been completed.
In the last few days, there has been a sign on the property indentifying the area/project as “Trailwood,” which [...]

I just polished off a hamburger and am now eating a little dish of their delicious hand-cut fries.
If you are unfamiliar with it, the Burger Spot is downtown Plymouth at 550 Forest Avenue.
TBS makes a variety of hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, as well as french fries to die for. Yum!
Plymouth’s economy

Admittedly, I don’t have an ounce of raw data to back up what I am about to say. I’m going simply by the good old “eyeball test.”
It appears that business is OK in downtown Plymouth. It is entirely possible that a lot of the businesses downtown are hauling in less profit. Some might be losing [...]
A few miles of bad — no, awful! — road
Posted in Wayne County, city services, roads, tagged Canton MI, Plymouth MI, potholes, roads, Sheldon Road on February 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
It’s no surprise that there are potholes everywhere. It’s that time of year and our roads here in Michigan are not that good even in good weather.
It’s also no surprise that Sheldon Road is full of potholes (enough to fill the Albert Hall,perhaps). Sheldon Road has been bad since I was a kid. What is [...]

If, by chance, you see this before you head out for the day (2/10/09), please be very very careful. The roads and sidewalks in town are extremely slippery. There is a lot of visible and invisible (black) ice.
I nearly fell 3 or 4 times just walking around the block. My car also spun out in [...]
Is Plymouth starting to thaw?

Has it just been a warm stretch the last two days, which will abruptly end, returning us to snow and near zero temps? Or are we starting to thaw?
Our first winter here in Plymouth, the crocuses in our yard started pushing up through the ground before the end of February. That’s awfully early, [...]
