For daycare reasons we need to stay near Oakland County. My mom is going to watch our son once I got back to work. Plus the jobs I am looking I am applying to are in the Troy/Bloomfield Hills area.

Drove through that stretch yesterday on the way to Cedar Point. Is this the building you are referring to? It is the only one that matched your description, although it is not on the West side, but the East side of the freeway. This is the TWB (Taylor Welded Blanks) facility.

Sorry, I'm directionally challenged YES that is it! Thanks so much. We used to pass it so often going to my son's football games and it was bugging me

We live in south Alabama, but...

DH's family (from Missouri) has vacationed in Onekama forever. This summer was their 50th anniversary! We honeymooned there and this summer we took our kids for the first time. Hopefully we can visit every summer! I'm officially the opposite of a snow bird. I migrate away from the heat during the summer. I still can't get over wearing a sweatshirt and jeans on the beach! We LOVE Michigan!

Detroit area. I want to move back to Rochester Hills. But DH's new job is in Ecorse and it might be too far of a drive. We want to rent for a couple years before we buy. So if anyone knows of a great deal on a rental house or a good agent that deals with rentals, let me know.

It may be a bit of a hike for work, but don't completely discount moving to Rochester Hills. I live in Rochester and they're completely renovating downtown right now an we've just secured a grant to restore Paint Creek that runs through Rochester Municipal park and downtown. Traffic's a bear, but it's going to be beautiful once the transformation's complete. They've dug up Main Street and are using the original red bricks for accent pieces and sidewalks up and down Main. Construction's moving along quickly and they plan on having everything complete right before the Big Bright Light Show installation for Xmas. It's going to make an already fantastic place to live even better!

The Douglas, Saugatuck, Holland Grand Haven towns all have nice downtowns. Holland's is the largest by far, but think Saugatuck has the best one. The beaches are the biggest draws to all the towns unless they have a festival going on then there might be more. They are all wonderful places to relax, enjoy the beaches and walk downtown. although there are not a lot of kid friendly places or entertainment.

Holland has Dutch Village which is overpriced but kid things to do - petting farm, cheese making area, swings. DD worked there for 2 summers. You can also go to Windmill Island and see a real Dutch windmill.

All the towns have great places to eat and lots of bars. Not a ton of franchised places, mostly locally owned.

If you have any specific questions let me know.

Hi WDWMom! Greeting from Grosse Pointe! Just wanted to let you know we spent a week in South Haven this summer and fell in love with SW Michigan We've also been to Tawas (friends with a cottage there), Mackinac Island, a day in Harbor Springs, and planning some skiing at Boyne this winter. Friends and family back East ask if we're ever moving back and we quickly reply "NEVER!"

We met a few fellow Michiganders on our cruise last February (our meet leader is from A2) which was alot of fun.
