Troy weighs future of city's outdoor aquatic center as it faces 'extensive' repairs
TROY — Troy city leaders are considering the future of the city's 35-year-old outdoor aquatic center, and modernizing the facility would cost around $15 million, one city official said. The city of Troy announced Nov. 5 that the Troy Family Aquatic Center on Civic Center Drive will be closed in summer 2027 "due to significant infrastructure failures that require extensive repairs." Troy Recreation Director Brian Goul gave a presentation on the aquatic center at the Nov. 9 City Council meeting and said that repairing known leaks and replacing filters at the facility would cost approximately $1 to 1.5 million.

Cat House Lounge will reopen under new management in Howell
The Cat House Lounge is getting another chance in downtown Howell, after closing at the end of Melon Fest in August. The business will reopen under the same ownership, but new management, at 4 p.m. Nov. 18. According to a release, the cocktail bar will have an updated drink menu and small plate offerings, in addition to staff members with "deep roots" in Livingston County. In September, owner Clark Gill said the business was closing because sales "never really saw the volume" necessary to be sustainable. Gill also owns the nearby Aberrant Ales at 219 W. Grand River Ave. “We closed in the late summer to refocus the concept,” Gill wrote in the release. “While we saw success in some areas, we saw several areas of improvement that needed to change in order to deliver the quality product and service we strive for." Julia Blair will serve as the businesses' bartender and mixologist. She'll be joined by a team of bartenders who specialize in craft cocktail curation and have local connections. “I was a fan of The Cathouse Lounge," Blair wrote in the release.
