This space is the former Fashion Bug clothing store located off Highland Road in a shopping complex with free parking.
What type of business do you want to see in this space? A new restaurant? A shoe store? A bakery?

I would love to see A Christmas Tree Shops (they're not a Christmas store despite the name, they pretty much have a little bit of everything but at a discount and they are owned by Bed Bath and Beyond. The closest one now is in Utica. Besides that, I would like to see a good dollar store or a buffet type restaurant (Golden Corral, Ryan's, Fire Mountain Grill) as the closest of those is very far from this area.

A Trader Joe's would be a great complement to the center, provided the Township Planning and MDOT enhance the traffic flow entering and and exiting the complex. As it is now, there is room for improvement.

At one point Five Below was coming to White Lake. This would be a great location.

Elevate the needs and well-being of our community. Quality, organic, fresh and hip... Trader Joe's improves every community they chose to be in. We could use an infusion of healthy food in White Lake.

It would be helpful to know, if it actually was seismic testing. Following the last episode (by…Read More West Bay) it was noted, at the Highland Twp Board meeting by the Sheriff's office, that residents would receive notification prior to any such future events. If so, who received notice and how was this communicated? An announcement in the "Patch" would have been useful....
The Tues. June 25th TOWN HALL 6 - 8pm, by the WRC (Water Resources Commissioner) Jim Nash, will provide an abundance of information on issues re oil/gas drilling and fracking, which EVERYONE needs to know due to impacts on both surface and ground (well) water. Particularly, those who have been approached with an oil/gas lease (ie; near Clyde Rd & Hickory Ridge, re exploration for drilling on the 'soccer field'). People need to know what they are getting into. If it comes to drilling/fracking, seismic testing will be seen as trivial.

After the last round of explosions I contacted Patrick Gibson at West Bay Exploration Company and…Read More was told that yes, they have been conducting tests in the area over the last 18 months and "The impact of these charges is barely audible at the surface and would not sound like an explosion on neighboring property. Landowners affected by the survey are contacted through the mail so that they are aware of our timing. I am not sure what your mysterious explosions were, but I am pretty sure they were not the result of our surveys."
In the press release provided by Laura Vogel today Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash says Thousands of acres of land in Oakland has been leased to Jordan Exploration.
I am again confused. Do both companies have leases in Oakland County? Is it legal for them to detonate dynamite at all hours?

So, Patrick Gibson can check West Bay records then KNOW if their testing occurred on Sat. 6/15/13…Read More 9pm, instead of being 'pretty sure'. Guess I'll have to call Pat ....
Getting answers to your questions re the companies involved, Gerry, can be mysterious too --- but, likely just a technicality as this industry includes 3 types, to: explore; drill; and extract (and/or frack). So, nailing anyone down to answer questions or get a commitment is elusive at best.
Change the way the State of Michigan is obligated by legislation to foster the oil and gas industry, to instead protect public health. Support the ballot initiative: LetsBanFracking.org

Has this little one found her home yet? Facebook has a "For the love of Louie, MI lost and…Read More found dogs". I highly recommend posting there, they do a great job networking.
