Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.

Recent health inspections flag Northville eateries

Recent health inspections in some Northville restaurants found improper handwashing, improper food storage and more between September and November, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports. Many of the violations have been corrected. The presence of violations in a past inspection does not necessarily mean the establishment has the same violations today. Inspection reports can be found at swordsolutions.com/inspections/. Below is a list of violations found at a few restaurants in Northville. Deccan Bawarchi, 17933 Haggerty Road During a routine inspection on September 15, an inspector noted several problems at Deccan Bawarchi. ∎ During the inspection, employees were never seen washing their hands, even though they moved from food preparation areas to dish areas, to grabbing supplies from stock areas, and returning. Whenever employees want to start food preparation tasks or return from leaving after completing non-food preparation tasks hand washing should be done before donning new pair of gloves. Wash hands before putting on gloves and preparing food. Corrected through instruction. ∎ Prep line cooler was malfunctioning and holding all potentially hazardous food items inside between 52-54F. This included cooked chicken, paneer cheese, mayo, lentil soup, and cooked chickpeas. Potentially hazardous ready-to-eat food should be kept below 41F.

Between Detroit And Lansing Is A Michigan Lake With Boating, Fishing, A Beach, And Camping

It's easy enough to access lake fun in Michigan considering that it shares over 3,000 miles of shoreline with the Great Lakes. But if you're venturing out from Detroit (or from Lansing, for that matter), Portage Lake also provides a beautiful escape not more than an hour away. It's part of a chain of lakes and has many hidden waterways. It's also a year-round destination: When it freezes over in winter, you can ice fish, snowmobile, and skate.
