We’ve finally had a chance to do some shopping at Plymouth’s newest purveyor of food-stuffs — I’ve always liked the word “food-stuffs” — Suburban Harvest. We’ve bought quite a bit of fruits and vegetables, some bread, dairy and even a few processed things like peanut butter.
Both my wife and I love having this store in [...]

Sidewalk sales downtown

Merchants downtown are having sidewalk sales. I’ve driven by but not seen anything. My wife has been down there and called me to say there are some fantastic deals, some real bargains. She picked up a few items (and missed out on a few.)
Get to downtown Plymouth ASAP before the sale ends! Sorry for sounding [...]
A mixed blessing

It is, at a minimum, unpleasant to have to take a pet to a veterenarian or animal hospital for anything more serious than routine check ups. Even with a good outcome, the experience is stressful for the animal and painful on the wallet. I’ve had our cat in the vet ER twice since last Thursday, [...]
The 3/50 Project

I’ve been seeing yard signs all over town the last week or so for the “3/50 Project.” The signs, though, don’t really say what the project is. It was pretty easy, though, to find info on the internet.
The 3/50 Project is organized (by whom, I’m not yet quite sure) to save “the bricks and mortars [...]
So. . . how was Art in the Park?

Things are upside down and backwards at the moment. Normally I’m fairly in touch with what’s going on around town and when something big happens I write about it. This weekend, though, I’ve been in Traverse City, Michigan, enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery, I think, in the entire United States. I’ve also had [...]

Toto’s song “Hold the Line” has been stuck in my head since Friday night.
In case you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, the band Fifty Amp Fuse played at Music in the Air Friday evening. They are a pretty good rock band that has a nice catalog of classic rock covers (perhaps some [...]
Plaka Mediterranean Grill

The newest restaurant in Plymouth, located on the north side of Penniman, between Harvey and Main Street, had its grand opening the other day. My family had a chance to eat there and we enjoyed it.
The food was good. I had in mind that this was a straight-up Greek restaurant (because I didn’t notice “Mediterranean” [...]
Two thumbs down for Bally Total Fitness

I really debated whether or not to ever discuss things like this on this particular blog. As long as I can do so in an honest and ethical fashion, my intention has always been that one of the byproducts of this blog would be that local businesses might be patronized. I’m no shill for any [...]
