Our yard is no showpiece, but we definitely have some nice flowers, especially these roses. Plymouth is loaded with great gardeners; people [...]

A Plymouth dining mainstay was razed several days ago. The Big Boy restaurant on Ann Arbor Road, just west of Sheldon Road, was closed and demolished to make room for expansion of the neighboring Kroger supermarket. All that remains on the lot is Big Boy himself. He stands proudly over the demolition site, holding his [...]

The Michigan Film Office in Lansing has stopped accepting tax incentive applications. Apparently, incentives are, indeed, going to be capped at $25 Million. http://www.detnews.com/article/20110930/BIZ/109300452/Film-office-stops-taking-incentive-applications Major Hollywood productions began drying up right around the time that Governor Snyder announced his desire to restructure, including drastically reducing, the film tax credit. My guess is that it will [...]

I can’t imagine I was the only person who noticed that the color coating on the compass at the intersection of Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail was peeling. Less than a month old, the surface was worn and looking bad. I took photos and considered posting them, but never quite got around to it. [...]
