Ehman Center redevelopment would be good for LO

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 […]

No gaudy billboard needed in the Village of Lake Orion

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 […]

No billboard needed in the Village of Lake Orion

Re: (‘DDA board hears presentation on possible downtown billboard,’ Sept. 22, 2021, Lake Orion Review, page 3.)

Thank you Road Commission for repaving Heights Road

Let’s give credit where credit is due. The Charter Township of Orion does a wonderful job operating our parks and the many other fine community facilities and programs, but they do not repair, maintain, pave, or clear our roads in the winter. Our roads are the responsibility of the Oakland County Road Commission who deserves […]

Growing your best garden…

When in a garden, you are enhancing and supporting God’s creation of soil and earth. If you are a gardener, or have one at your house, you know the patience and mental work you go through each year. Your best garden doesn’t begin on the first nice day of the season, or end on the […]

Great job repairing Heights Road

A job well done! This was well worth waiting for and I thank our township for finally getting Heights Road paved. It has been a long time coming but it is worth the wait. I am sure that everyone who travels down Heights Road is as happy as I am. Yes, there are still some […]
