Last week’s travels brought me through Pontiac, where being on WideTrack Drive makes me nervous. Not because I haven’t traveled that road before, I have, but I always become mixed up. Being from the Macomb County area I grew up driving on mile roads. Here in Oakland County it’s different. Plus, rarely having traveled in […]
Re: “Prospective Eagle Scouts complete service projects at Agawam”, Lake Orion Review, Sept. 22, 2021, page 11. Way to go, Brooke and Casey!!! My husband, John and many of his friends spent a lot of time working on Camp Agawam and it is great to see that it is continuing through bright and energetic Scouts! […]
Re: “My Evil Plan gets reviewed by Natalie”by Don Rush, Lake Orion Review, Oct. 13 2021, page 7. What a BREATH of fresh air to read Natalie H’s response to Don’s column. I’d much rather read whatever thoughts this person has than the repetitive and antiquated diatribes of Don. Kudos to her for responding – […]
Re: “Great job repairing Heights Road”, ‘View points, Lake Orion Review, Sept. 15, 2021, page 6. Now you might try your great improvement on Miller Road (last time it was repaved was 1973). Almost forgot, how about replacing the apron at Mariday Street and Orion Road? It was never replaced in 2015 when Orion Road […]
Re: “Village planning commission to hold public hearing on the redevelopment of the former Lake Orion High School/Ehman Center building”, Lake Orion Review, Sept. 29, 2021, page 3. I think this is a terrific idea for use of an old building that badly needs to be refurbished. True, the number of units (89) does seem […]
Life is what we make it! In our Sunday services at Unity of Lake Orion we make it different. We enjoy positive messages each week from different speakers, including messages from volunteers of non-profit groups. Everyone has a ministry inside of them should they choose to put it to good work. For me, it is […]
I am not saying no to the plan, but (I) do not think we need EIGHTY-NINE apartments on this too small piece of property…it is just too many for this area! And just where would all those cars park? Underground? I live right across the street and have a sump pump over here! So, what […]
This is the WORST idea I have ever seen. Other than the developer, who will benefit from this? This will put hundreds of people on residential streets trying to get to M-24, which is already a traffic problem. Would any of you enjoy two apartment buildings holding 90 units on your neighborhood street, plus a […]
Re: The Village of Lake Orion Planning Commission public hearing on the proposed preliminary Planned Unit Development for 55 Elizabeth Street, aka the former Lake Orion High School, aka The Ehman Center. I was at the meeting and there were the usual comments about traffic, parking, and losing a historic building, even though the plan […]
I hope that a billboard at Broadway and Lapeer is never erected to block our beautifully revitalized Lake Orion streetscape. A tasteful, size appropriate “Welcome to The Village of Lake Orion”, a fountain or even a lighthouse would be more fitting than a big billboard that would block the entrance to our lovely village. Please […]
