After a very busy (and warm) Art in the Park event last week, it’s time for art of a different kind – the wheeled kind – on the streets of Plymouth! This time, it’s cool cars and bikes in Plymouth’s Historic Old Village. In addition to the show, there are also plenty of galleries, shops, and restaurants that offer an eclectic alternative to the Kellogg Park area. For more information about this event and/or to register your vehicle for the show, go to: http://oldvillage.eventbrite.com/

HGTV House Hunters in Downtown Plymouth MI!
More than a few of our clients love to watch HGTV’s House Hunters and when the hunt is in the South East Michigan area, it sure can be fun to see familiar places and even faces. Well last week, it was Plymouth’s turn as House Hunters were in town filming at one of our listings on Evergreen. I won’t give away which home they actually bought but look for the episode later this year or early next year!

2011 Green Fair this Weekend in Downtown Plymouth!
What a perfect Spring morning to enjoy the Green Fair in Downtown Plymouth. There were plenty of ‘Green’ products and services to explore – everything from electric vehicles to kid’s activities using recycled materials. Combined with the perfect weather (at least for today), you couldn’t ask for a better way to spend a Saturday morning. Even the fountain water was green!
Marking the Unofficial Beginning of Spring, Plymouth’s Kellogg Park Fountain is Open. The Plymouth Green Street Fair, First Farmer’s Market of the Season, and Mother’s Day are all this Weekend Too!
The fountain is back on and the Farmer’s Market for this year’s season is back on Saturday morning. And so marks the unofficial start of Spring here in Plymouth. The Plymouth Green Street Fair is also this weekend along with Mother’s Day so the area should be quite busy in case you are planning to drive into town. You can find out more about the Green Fair if you click the earlier link. In short, it’s great showcase of “Green” products and services including everything from home improvement ideas to alternative fuel vehicles. The Green Fair runs May 6-8 and the Farmer’s Market is on Saturday Mornings beside the Penn across from the Fountain. As long as the weather holds, it will be a great weekend to enjoy strolling around Plymouth enjoying the sites, shopping, and restaurants!
What Happened to the old Amoco Gas Station in Downtown Plymouth? Proposed New Building at Ann Arbor Trail and Main Street – 789 W. Ann Arbor Trail
I attended a highly charged Planning Commission meeting last night at Plymouth City Hall. The developers of the above new construction commercial building presented their plans while the residents and business owners of Plymouth voiced their concerns. The corner of Ann Arbor Trail and Main Street where the old Amoco gas station used to be has been vacant for some time. The old station has just been demolished and the new building above is planned. The space will be used for restaurants and potential retail too. Some of the issues raised include the size and density of the building and the split level concept of the interior. A motion was passed to postpone further discussions until the applicant decides to resubmit updated plans. There was a lot of emotion and passion about the project – all part of the give and take required to preserve and grow a vibrant downtown of a great American small town!
