Our baby Jesus has been stolen from the nativity scene downtown. This is a really old prank, that happens in cities and towns all over the country. It’s about as lame and cliche as toilet papering people’s yards. The thieves are probably teenage boys that thought they’d really get a great laugh out of somebody [...]

With heavy hearts, my wife and I attended the Compassionate Friends Candlelight Vigil held last night in Kellogg Park. The vigil honors and remembers those children lost too soon. Sadly, we were there to mourn the loss our dear friends’ daughter, Abby Giamporcaro. While it is painful to watch people you care about suffer — [...]

Not that I’ve counted or anything, but it seems like there are more lights downtown this year than in years past. Most years I pay little attention to holiday lights, either in the city or in peoples’ yards. But since they put up the holiday lights this year, a week or so ago, I’m almost [...]

I’m not much for holiday decorations. I’m a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas. But I like seeing the The Three Wisemen aka the Magi making their way from east to west through Kellogg Park. They have, quite fittingly, started their journey before the leaves are all off the trees. It’s a long way from [...]

Here are some of the sights from last weekend’s first annual Pumpkinpalooza. The Chamber of Commerce and local businesses switched up the downtown Halloween event this year. In years past, local businesses put out candy for store-to-store trick-or-treating. The manager of one very prominent business owner told me that aspects of the past events actually [...]

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 [...]

The festival is held primarily at Kellogg Park, but local businesses quite often have their own sculptures. Be sure to [...]
