The Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce has gotten a lot of questions about whether the Green Street Fair will take place this weekend due to the massive construction at Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail. The Chamber indicates — and this is no surprise really — that the fair is on and will be set [...]

Twice now I’ve had shish kabob at Red Olive (Ann Arbor Road between Main Street and Sheldon Road) and it is the best I’ve ever had, hands down. It’s extremely tender, juicy and full of flavor. It would be hard to make better stuff on your own barbecue. If you like kabob I can’t recommend [...]

I used to love cutting across town (east to west) along Wing Street. But with the intersection of Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail closed for construction, the detour is taking downtown traffic along Deer and through the Wing-Main Street intersection. It gets quite busy there during heavy traffic hours. If you take sidestreets around [...]
Streetscape project information

“The Plymouth Observer” provided some very general information regarding the massive streetscape project going on now in downtown Plymouth, in an April 11 article. http://www.hometownlife.com/article/20100411/NEWS15/4110415/Work-continues-on-city-streetscape I do not see a timeline, however, for the various stages or completion of the project.

Several Plymouth area chain businesses on life support

While I wholeheartedly believe that we should support local businesses, the health of large chair retailers is also important to a community. A handful of companies, three of which have chains in either Plymouth or Canton, are in serious financial trouble: Blockbuster, Rite Aid and Borders. http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/109251/businesses-on-the-brink-change-or-fail??mod=career-leadership Personally I’ve never cared much for Blockbuster. But [...]

This is the longest stretch I’ve had as a “blogger” (the title is annoying, I know) without having something to say. I fee like an athlete in a slump. Hopefully the inspiration will strike. Soon!
