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.

U-M-Los Alamos data center site 'highly archeologically sensitive'

The controversial Ypsilanti Township site chosen by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory for a $1.25 billion data center project is "highly archeologically sensitive," a major past trail route for Native American tribes that may include both artifacts and graves, the State Historic Preservation Office has informed project officials. Both Ypsilanti Township and the United Tribes of Michigan, a coalition of the 12 federally recognized tribes in the state, have passed resolutions calling on U-M to undertake a comprehensive archaeological review of the 144-acre site on Textile Road near Bridge Road, and to better consult with the tribes before disturbing sites of potential significance to their heritage. "It's disgraceful that they have not reached out and consulted the Native American tribes, given the historic nature of their relationship at U-M with the Huron River and knowing full well that the Bentley Library is filled with information and maps on the indigenous Native American trails throughout Washtenaw County," said Ypsilanti Township Attorney Doug Winters. U-M proposes a "high-performance research computing center" at the site in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, a New Mexico-based research institution focused on national security — including the manufacture of plutonium pits, the
