The video advertises the services of Dr. Jason Ellis of Be Well Chiropractic.
Remember the cute kid from the movie Jerry Maguire? Jonathan Lipnicki's tousled blond hair and big glasses won the hearts of millions, and a Farmington Hills chiropractor has posted a YouTube.com video that taps into his popularity. Dr. Jason Ellis' son, who bears a striking resemblance to the young Lipnicki, is featured in the video, which promotes Ellis' Be Well Chiropractic in Farmington Hills.

Owner Leslie Oglesby's passion for beading started when she was a teenager.
From the window of her Bead Bohemia store in downtown Farmington, Leslie Oglesby can see a place where she spent most of her teenage years. "I was a candy girl at the Civic," Oglesby says, adding she was also a manager at the Farmington Civic Theater before it was sold to the City of Farmington. Oglesby spent a lot of time at Yin Yang Beads, located where the Civic box office and restrooms sit now. She took over the business in 1995, when she was just 22 years old. After the city took over the Civic in 1999, she took a Village Mall space at Grand River and Farmington Road, then in 2007 moved to her current location on the south side of Grand River. "In high school, I would make little necklaces for my friends," she said. "I've always …

The exterior sign is up and the interior is coming together at the market's new locale at Telegraph and Maple.
In September, we wrote about how Trader Joe's move from Farmington Hills to Bloomfied Township understandably put off some current patrons. Conversely, Bloomfield-area residents and business owners are more enthused, particularly since the construction work is starting to show visible results. Carpenters and electrical contractors are hard at work at the new location on the west side of Telegraph between the Starbucks and SavOn Drugs in Bloomfield Plaza. Though store officials have yet to announce an official open date, they did target next month "We've got some reasons to be optimistic," said Bill Wahl, owner of the nearby Relax the Back store, as he noted the changes to the Maple Theater nearby, and the opening of the Bagger Dave's …

McClary Bros. Bakehouse is named after Josh and Jessica McClary's twin sons.
The McClary brothers may be too young to operate a stove, but they've already got a bakery named after them. Two-year-old twins Jack and Ben have their parents Jessica and Josh to thank for the honor. New to Farmington, McClary Bros. Bakehouse has a booth at the Farmington Farmers and Artisans Market and will be among the vendors at the Old Winery Winter Market. "We are looking at retail space," said Jessica McClary, who is a student in Oakland Community College Orchard Ridge's culinary program. "We're hoping to find something before next summer." The couple has only lived in Michigan for a year. They started out in West Bloomfield, but found themselves drawn to the winter market and then took in all of the spring, summer and fall …

Trade Joe's should thrive anywhere... great off-brands, wonderful quality foods, nothing made in or from China (that in and of itself is a miracle), very nicely priced,, plus pleasant people and environment... not a union shop of 'attitude' workers - therefore everyone is mostly in a good mood... and so much more... Now, try to beat that!!! more ›
