Topgolf said on Nov. 9 that it is cutting rates about for all locations, including its in Auburn Hills , Michigan, location. The price cut stemmed from a six-month survey that found guests believed prices were too high and kept them from returning, according to Topgolf .

"I want our guests to know that we heard them and are now introducing our lowest prices ever.

Macomb board shifts priorities in Executive Mark Hackel's proposed budget

The Macomb County Board of Commissioners shifted prioirities and made trims to County Executive Mark Hackel's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year on Thursday, Nov. 12, including eliminating new positions county departments had requested. In unanimous votes in its Finance/Audit/Budget Committee meeting Thursday afternoon, commissioners amended Hackel's proposed budget, some of which were cuts and some of which were increases or other changes. The proposed budget set aside around $21 million for capital needs, or improvements to county buildings and parking lots, in the general fund. Commissioners didn't want to take as much money out of the county's savings as the county executive had proposed, said Commissioner Phil Kraft. They instead pulled $5 million out of savings and decided to make reductions elsewhere in the budget, allowing the board to set aside $20 million for capital plan projects. "We wanted to reduce the pull from the overall general fund," Kraft said. Hackel offered his proposed budget in early October for the 2027 fiscal year, which begins Jan. 1. The $1.25 billion budget reflects an 11.9% increase over the current budget . The board is slated to adopt the budget Nov. 19. Hackel's budget included 26.8 new full-time equivalent positions,

Marian volleyball ousts Farmington Hills Mercy in Division 1 regional final

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — The top two teams in the state did not disappoint in the Division 1 regional finals matchup, and there will officially be a new champion to end the year. No. 2-ranked Birmingham Marian survived a back-and-forth bout to defeat defending champion Farmington Hills Mercy in four sets, 25-23, 26-24, 21-25, 25-17. The win avenges what was a 1-3 record against Mercy this year, topping off its sole victory that came in the Catholic League Bishop championship game. The matchup exemplified the story of the last decade of Division 1 volleyball in the state, as six of the last seven champions have been one of the two programs. Heading into the game, Marian head coach Mayssa Cook knew it wouldn’t just be any other playoff game, but luckily the history between the two allowed for an anticipated approach. “I knew we had to have middles involved,” Cook said. “I said to them, ‘Ladies, all three of you bigs have to be on, because they are that good.’ So are we, but it’s any given day. They’re an awesome team, but I knew our seniors had to be on to clinch this victory.” The first set started just as

Berkley E-Bike Sidewalk Ban Takes Effect

E-bikes have soared in popularity over the last few years for numerous reasons. They are cheap (compared to cars), convenient, and fun to ride. Recently, the city of Berkley has banned E-bikes, E-motos, electric scooters, and electric skateboards from the sidewalks because they want to keep pedestrians safe and prevent injuries caused by E-bike crashes. E-bikes have been getting more and more popular every year, and people have gotten tired of them and want new laws. A lot of kids have E-bikes, and there have been safety concerns because of the lack of experience these drivers may have. The city classifies an E-bike as any electric-powered bike that is capable of going over twenty-eight MPH. Examples of these include Surrons, Rad Power Bikes, Talaria Sting, etc. But what is the difference between E-bikes and E-motos?
