fter a successful first year, the Royal Oak Taco Fest is looking to have an even bigger second. The Royal Oak Taco Fest will take place June 30 to July 4 around the Centennial Commons in the downtown. More than 50 eateries will be showcased at the festival, with
options that will include steak, pork, fish, chicken and vegetarian dishes. Event Producer Jon Witz said the focus of the inaugural Taco Fest was on getting a diverse group of food options together for the attendees. For its follow-up, the focus is on learning from last year and improving the festival. “The restaurants all did so well last year that everybody See TACO FEST on page 4A

OAKLAND COUNTY — Beginning June 30, a new law will go into effect that is meant to take people’s phones out of their hands while driving their vehicles. Signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer earlier this month, the “hands-free” distracted driving law puts new restrictions on drivers when it comes to handling their phones. Three bills, HB 4250, 4251 and 4252, were introduced in the state Legislature a few months ago and sent to the governor last month for approval. According to the new law, an individual can’t hold or use a phone while operating a vehicle or a school bus. The law says that a driver cannot “Send or receive a telephone call; Send, receive, or read a text message; View, record, or transmit a video; Access, read, or post to a social networking site.” It also states that a driver can’t reach “for a mobile electronic device in a manner that requires

CLAWSON — Just a couple of years after Clawson Public Schools was able to get approval on one bond proposal, it will be going for another later this summer. On Aug. 8, there will be a ballot proposal that will ask voters whether or not to approve a bond for $25.5 million to help continue to fund and expand on district projects. Back in 2021, the school district went for and received

other attractions have opened up, adding to the city’s appeal. There are now three breweries in and around Ludington. A couple of wineries have sprouted up outside town, and the city created a social district along several downtown blocks. A food truck court along U.S. 10 offers other casual dining options. The pink Brunch Babes food truck is a standout, serving variations of classic brunch dishes with tater tots. These are all wonderful additions to Ludington, of course, but blending the new with old is really your best See EXPLORE on page 11A

BY GREG TASKER f you haven’t been to Ludington in a while, it’s time to give this Lake Michigan beach town another visit. And not just because the city is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year (though that is a good reason). As far as beach towns go, Ludington offers everything you’d expect: miles and miles of sandy beaches, ice cream and fudge shops, a downtown flush with souvenir and gift shops, and long-standing restaurants that are part of the tradition of returning to favorite beach towns. In the last few years, new restaurants, breweries and

wants to come back,” he said. “We have more than 20% more trucks than we had last year, but the big word this year was to tweak the event, make it a better experience, add more space, more trucks, more entertainment, more activities, work on a new footprint in the city.” Curating Taco Fest in year two was the event’s biggest challenge, Witz said. He stated that questions arise in deciding the right number of food trucks, estimating the number of people who will attend so they don’t wait too long in lines, and creating the right number of activities and amount of entertainment for the number of people estimated to attend. “The recruiting of the restaurants has been, you know, it’s a lot of logistics work, but we haven’t had to sell that part,” he said. “Top local musicians want to play. So the entertainment and programming has been more logistics than a hard sell. And it’s just really what are we curating, what is the right size? What is the right amount of activities to have for this crowd? What’s this crowd going to be like this year?” The Drunken Rooster food truck, which worked the first Royal Oak Taco Fest, will be in attendance for this year as well with its Mediterranean-inspired tacos and za’atar fries. Owner Hassan Musselmani, who’s been running the Drunken Rooster since 2016, said the food truck mostly does catering for private events, but he likes to be able to do one festival a month to be out in the public. “This is a good one for us,” he said of Taco Fest. “We’re gonna have our food truck

there selling our full menu, and then on the other side of the festival, we’re gonna have a big tent. We’re gonna be grilling corn fresh, making all of our flavors of Mexican street corn live outside.” Musselmani said his food truck signed up at the last minute for the event last year, but it was a big hit with the Drunken Rooster selling 6,000 ears of corn. The Detroit native said Taco Fest last year was a great experience and he’s excited to come back again. “Doing private events, I don’t see too many of my food truck friends, but at these
big events, we all get to get together and have a good time and serve some great people,” he said. Looking back on last year, Witz said he didn’t know how the event was going to turn out, but it was a “resounding success.” “There’s a challenge in trying to curate the right amount of space and trucks, and we have a better idea this year,” he said. “This will be … one of the strongest lineups of food and local music and entertainment that we’ve ever put on. The Royal Oak Taco Fest was great in year one, but it’s taken three steps forward in year two.”
Aside from food options, there will be a variety of musical acts across the five days, plus lucha libre, a pet costume competition and ax throwing. Tickets for Taco Fest cost $8 in advance and $12 at the gates. The event’s hours are 4-11 p.m. June 30, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. July 1-3, and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. July 4. Centennial Commons is located at 221 E.

100-year-old bakery closes
OAK PARK — After more than 100 years running, Star Bakery announced it will be closing on July 2. The owners, Daniel Buckfire, David Schechter and Stacy Fox, announced in a press release that, due to the rising costs of both labor and ingredients and continued difficulties left over from the pandemic, the business could no longer remain viable. The three bought the business in July 2021. “It was a very hard decision to close, and we did everything we could to try to save Star Bakery and make it profitable,” Buckfire stated. “Wholesale was always a significant part of the business at Star Bakery, and we determined that we were no longer competitive on this side of the business.” Star Bakery first opened in 1915 and was known for its “traditional Jewish-style baked goods such as rye breads, challahs, rolls, rugelach, sevenlayer cake and mandel bread.” The release stated that production of some of the bakery’s recipes will continue at Diamond Bakery in West Bloomfield, which the three owners bought in November 2021. Fox stated in the release that the cost of many ingredients went up along with labor costs, and wholesale customers chose to go with “machinemade products rather than the artisanal bread made by Star Bakery.” “We understand these economic decisions, but a small bakery can’t compete with big manufacturers,” she said.

PAST EMPLOYEES INVITED TO SPECIAL REUNION BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
F
orty years ago, the Pontiac Fiero drove off the lot for the first time and found its niche in the sports car community. Although the two-seater car was only in production for five years, from 1983 to 1988, there are still Pontiac Fiero owners nationwide. To acknowledge the 40-year anniversary of the Pontiac Fiero this year, a celebration will be held July 12-16 in Pontiac. Presented by M1 Concourse, the celebration will bring home the last Pontiacs made in Pontiac, including the very last car ever produced there — a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. Other cars that will be on-site include PPG Pace Cars, the 2+2 Fiero prototype, other Fiero prototypes and special cars from the GM Heritage Center collection. There will be a collection of Fiero vehicles on display. Members of the Pontiac Motorsports Division, Pontiac Design Studio and Pontiac Engineering are expected to attend. The Pontiac Transportation Museum, also a sponsor of the event, will collect oral history testimonies to document individual stories. The three original 1984 Indy Pace Cars are confirmed to be at the event, marking the first time all three cars have been together since race day nearly 40 years ago.

METRO DETROIT — As Fourth of July parades ready for substantial crowds, families prepare for get-togethers with loved ones, and the feeling of patriotism is in full swing, the American flag will be on display tenfold. While patriotic behavior is appreciated, it’s important to understand the proper etiquette of displaying the American flag. Mike Sand is the public information officer of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6691 in Fraser and a Vietnam veteran, and Sand said there are common parts of the U.S. flag code that are overlooked today. “There’s a lot of standard procedures
you have to follow, but what amazes me is a lot of people don’t,” Sand said. “For example, you’re not supposed to wear the American flag as clothing, and people do that. You’re not supposed to carry the flag flat, and people do that. You’re not supposed to put anything above the American flag, and somebody’s done that. Basically, you either respect the flag or trash the flag, if you will.” Sand has been a part of the VFW Fraser post since 1974. While some procedures may be overlooked, Sand said there are also common misconceptions when it comes to flag etiquette. “A lot of people go, ‘Oh, you don’t have a light on your flag,’” Sand said. “You don’t

Pontiac Fiero from page 6A
reunion for all the employees who once worked on the Fiero. The Fiero Project Reunion will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Auburn Hills Marriott in Pontiac. The Midwest Fiero Clubs Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) is reaching out to all past workers — from plant workers to project engineers — to attend. Former employees are welcome to attend the Distinguished Speaker event at the Crofoot Ballroom Hall on July 13.
‘We share our interests, passions and friendships’
Jennifer Goss and Fred Bartemeyer are co-chairing the anniversary celebration. “We’d like to get the word out about the event,” said Goss, who resides in Staunton, Virginia. “The reunion is to gather and to reminisce.” So far, 25 people — including people from Washington state, New England and Arizona — have responded, but organizers hope to attract many more. Goss, who will be in attendance, grew up in a family of Fiero enthusiasts.
“It’s always been a fun sports car that has a great community,” Goss said. Her dad, Jim Gilbert, even won his own black Fiero after participating in a contest. “He was very excited,” Goss remembered of her dad, who died in 2020. “He loved the car.” Her dad’s winning car is now a keepsake. “I still have it,” Goss said. There are still Fiero buffs in the U.S. and around the world who have hung onto their cars from the ’80s and are collectors like Goss and her husband, who have eight Fieros. “It brings back memories of earlier times in their lives,” Goss said. “The young people, they know how timeless they are. The Fiero has aged well.” The Midwest Fiero Clubs Region AACA current members include Heartland Fiero Club; Michigan Fiero Club; Wisconsin Fiero Fanatics; Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association; Northern Illinois Fiero Enthusiasts; Kansas City Fiero Owners Group; Minnesota Fieros Forever; Midwest Fieros; North Texas Fiero Club; and Mid-America Fieros. The 10 clubs collaborate to promote and preserve the Pontiac Fiero and the Fiero Community.
“We share our interests, passions and friendships,” said Bartemeyer, Midwest Fiero Clubs Region AACA president. “It’s to bring everyone together to have a central resource. We’re a small, close-knit community.” Members don’t have to own a Fiero to join. “You just have to have the interest,” said Bartemeyer, of Davenport, Iowa. “A lot of people join our club to help find them a good car, specifically the Pontiac Fiero.” Bartemeyer bought his first Fiero for $12,000 when he graduated from high school in 1985 at age 18. He saved enough money over the years shoveling snow and mowing lawns. He also took out a small loan to help with the purchase. “I’ve been into cars my entire life. As a
young kid with a brand-new car, it was very exciting. It was an incredible experience,” Bartemeyer said. “I took people for rides. It got a lot of use. It was a lot of fun.” One year later, Bartemeyer traded in his ’85 model for a new 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT when they came on the market. “I had to have one,” he said. To date, Bartemeyer owns 26 Fieros, including the 1986 GT model. He’ll bring eight of them to display at next month’s anniversary celebration. To register for the reunion and for more information on all the 40-year celebrations, visit fiero40th.com. T-shirts are guaranteed only to attendees who register before July 1.

LEFT: “Simple yet classy, this outdoor living space provides a breath of fresh air at any time of the day or summer night,” Shelby Township resident Sylvia Finnigan said of her balcony. RIGHT: Raymond Patrick, of Utica, has designed his backyard in a creative way that incorporates features of a larger space into a smaller yard. Observing the beauty of hummingbirds, butterflies and bees that visit his garden has become one of Patrick’s favorite pastimes. “I was sitting at that table last year, and all of the sudden, a hummingbird flew up and was about a foot away from my face. I thought
he was going to touch my glasses. Then he flew right around me. I could feel the air from his wings on my ears. And then he stopped over on my right shoulder and just kind of hovered there for a minute and then finally left,” Patrick said.
Patrick expressed that he wants to inspire others to utilize their outdoor spaces regardless of how much room they have to work with. “You don’t have to have a big backyard. You can, and then you can go wild, but you See OUTDOOR on page 15A

ith Summer in full swing, it’s the perfect time for a staycation in your very own backyard. However, creating a comfortable patio setup can be daunting for those living in apartments or condominiums, since there’s less real estate than in your typical suburban backyard. Yet the feat is not impossible, and with a little creativity, you can create an outdoor oasis that offers the perfect backdrop for your morning coffee or sunset cocktails. Utica resident Raymond Patrick began his patio project four years ago when his son and daughter-in-law gifted him a hummingbird feeder. Since then, he has been working every year to improve the backyard of his townhouse and welcome pollinators. “It was all mud when I moved in there. I built the deck, and I had grass down below the deck that was wonderful walking on barefoot. It felt like carpet. And then I decided to get into the flowers, and I haven’t stopped,” Patrick said. The backyard that was once all mud has been transformed into a well-manicured wildflower garden and patio setup complete with a deck, 20 plants, a table and chairs with an umbrella, a grill and the hummingbird feeder that started it all. Patrick explained that he began his garden by researching online what plants are good for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds and are also perennials. Through trial and error, Patrick realized that purchasing most of his plants online wasn’t the best approach, so he shifted toward purchasing from local sellers. For Patrick, part of the learning curve was considering placement and which plants needed full or partial sun.

bet to experience the charms of this western Michigan city. Participating in local traditions, like watching the car-andpassenger ferry, the S.S. Badger, return from Wisconsin each evening, will bring a smile to your face. Locals and visitors start to gather around 6:30 p.m., some standing on car roofs, others waving handmade signs to welcome passengers to Michigan. Locals also recommend newcomers take a walk to the iconic Big Sable Point Lighthouse, which stands in Ludington State Park, a few miles outside of the city. The nearly 2-mile trail winds through low-lying dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline. You can also bike, but no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail. The climb (130 steps) to the top of the 112-foot tower is well worth the hike. Step out on the catwalk for unmatched views of Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park. Just a few blocks from downtown, Stearns Park Beach on Lake Michigan is popular with beachgoers. The park is home to two concession stands (now op-
erated by one of the owners of Brunch Babes, so expect more interesting menu options), shuffleboard, a skate park, mini golf, and playground and picnic areas. The pier to the North Breakwater Light is walkable and an ideal spot to watch the sunset. What makes Ludington unique among many beach towns is its cultural and historical amenities, including the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum and Historic White Pine Village. I ducked into the maritime museum on a cloudy beach day and was impressed with the exhibits and interactive displays. The museum explores the city’s history on the water, lumbering days, and the steamers and car ferries that once crowded its waters. An extensive exhibit on the Armistice Day Storm in 1940 is mesmerizing. The storm took the lives of 64 sailors on Lake Michigan. Their stories are told with survivor accounts, photographs and video of the shipwrecks at the lake’s bottom. For more information on Ludington or to start planning a trip, visit www. pureludington.com. Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer. His articles focused on northern Michigan travel will appear in C & G Newspapers during the summer.
Here are some suggestions for a weekend getaway in Ludington: WHERE TO GO: The newly opened Mason County Research Center is a good place to get your bearings about historical attractions. You can also take tours to learn the history of the region. Purchase tickets to Historic White Pine Village and the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum in the society’s Emporium and Sweet Shop, stocked with history books, souvenirs and candy. Across the street is the Sandcastles Children’ Museum, a small museum with three stories of hands-on exhibits. One of the newest is ¡Hola!, featuring 10 conversational buttons throughout the building to help visitors learn Spanish phrases. Historic White Pine Village, several miles south of Ludington, explores the region’s lumbering and farming past in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a collection of 30 historic buildings. You can purchase a combination ticket for the village, the maritime museum and the Mason County Research Center at the Emporium. WHERE TO STAY: Ludington has several motels and bed and breakfast inns, many of them within walking distance of downtown and the beach. Summer’s Inn is a renovated motor lodge on Route 10, within blocks of downtown. The adults-only motel serves a gourmet breakfast (quiche and fresh fruit were on the menu when I visited) and despite the busy road out front, the grounds are quiet. A free library and a courtyard garden add to the serenity. For elegant accommodations, consider the Cartier Mansion Bed and Breakfast, the restored former home of a lumber baron. The home’s Carriage House was recently renovated and has four suites. Guests receive a libation upon arrival and a gourmet breakfast each day. One of the owners’ unique offerings is pairing visitors with volunteer opportunities in the community. WHERE TO EAT: The new hot spot is STIX, a renovated bowling alley, restaurant and biergarten outside of the city on the way to Ludington State Park. The biergarten is family friendly with games for adults and children. It’s a great place to grab a meal or a drink after hiking at the state park. Another favorite is Blu Moon Bistro & Cafe, which serves fresh sushi and offers a diverse menu. A local staple is Crown and Cork, formerly PM Steamers. The menu at this waterfront restaurant features Great Lakes seafood, burgers, steaks and more. No visit to Ludington would be complete with a stop at the House of Flavors, celebrating its 75th anniversary. The restaurant serves comfort food, sandwiches and is famous for its extensive selection of ice cream, made right next door at one of Michigan’s largest ice cream production plants.

approval for a $55 million, zero-mill bond. Superintendent Billy Shellenbarger said that, even then, it was clear that the money would not be enough for the scope of work the district was going for, due to inflation costs, and that it would be around $6 million to $7 million short. That scope of work included replacing aging mechanical and electrical with energy-efficient systems in the high school; a new two-story, 18-classroom middle school building; 30 renovated classrooms in the elementary schools; and 21st century classroom technology and furnishings at the early childhood center. Shellenbarger said the district had multiple options moving forward, which included cutting millions in the work’s scope or going to the state to figure out how much money the district could get in the form of another bond, which the district did. The answer was $25.5 million. “This is likely a once-in-a-25-, 30-year opportunity where we can do this work and truly not raise our residents’ taxes,” he said. As with 2021, the superintendent said the bond is a zero-mill bond, which will be no tax increase for residents and allow the district to finish the scope of the 2021 work and complete additional projects that the district originally wasn’t able to include in that scope, which includes new painted ceilings, furniture, and new exterior windows and doors. “In the 2021 bond, for example, we did not have all-new exterior windows, exterior doors. Well now, if the 2023 Bond passes, that will be a part of it,” Shellenbarger said. “Our Early Childhood Center, we’re going to add approximately $3 million more to that space on top of the $6 million that we were going to invest in the 2021 bond. We would add another $3 million to that through the 2023 bond proposal to ensure
that our Early Childhood Center is state of the art, it has room for growth, meaning additional classrooms because we have waiting lists right now.” For those wondering where exactly the money comes from, Director of Finance and Business Services for Clawson Public Schools Kevin Taratuta said the money they get to pay the bond is from property taxes. “We’re fortunate that with most property owners, they saw a significant increase in their property tax values, and essentially the mill would come off of those tax values,”
he said. “From our last bond that we issued in ’21 through this year, that increase in taxable value has allowed us to leverage an additional $25.5 million without actually having to increase any of the millage rate. So we are beneficiaries of essentially property tax increases to be able to do this.” Shellenbarger added that there would be no change to residents’ property tax this year, which he said he knows is extremely important to residents. “Depending on what your household income is and what your needs are, a $100 in-
crease a year could be significant to someone and not nearly as significant to someone else,” he said. “So being able to say that there is a $0 increase to your annual taxes is crucial.” “This opportunity is one that, to be able to do it in ’21 and then again in ’23, so soon at zero mills with no increase, that’s essentially unheard of and we’ve never seen that before,” he continued.

have to have a light; you just need to be able to see it. Another one is, ‘Oh, you can’t burn the flag.’ Well, we call it ‘retire.’ We retire the flags by burning, because that’s what the flag code suggests.” For people who are uncomfortable with ‘retiring’ their American flags themselves, the VFW, local Scout troops, and local flag shops such as American Flag and Banner Co. in Clawson will accept your flag for retirement. Jane Miles, the owner of American Flag and Banner Co. for 44 years, said there’s one aspect of flag etiquette that can be harmful to the flag if not followed. “You should take it down in inclement weather, because it’s beating up the flag for no reason, but people don’t go out in the middle of a tornado to take it down,” Miles said. “If it’s out there, it stays out there in bad weather. It’s not respectful to the flag, but if you’re a true patriot that wants to fly it 24/7, then you’re very respectful. It goes back and forth.” It’s tough for someone who’s not experienced in the United States flag code to know if there’s a right or wrong to certain

Man arrested for damaging businesses, vehicles
ROYAL OAK — A 41-year-old Pontiac man was arrested for malicious destruction of property during the early morning June 10. At approximately 6 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Woodward Avenue and Normandy Road for a report of a man who threw a rock at a window of a nearby business. Once officers arrived, they located and took into custody the suspect, who police said was hiding behind a business on Woodward. Police said they observed damaged windows on the building and a vehicle. Police continued their investigation and found eight more businesses along Woodward with damaged windows, including a car dealership that had windows broken on all 29 of its vehicles. “Royal Oak detectives are continuing their investigation while the suspect was turned over to medical professionals for mental health concerns,” the report states. — Mike Koury
Three other flag etiquette facts:
• When grouped with other flags, the American flag is positioned to its own right (viewer’s left). • When flown horizontally, the stars need to be in the upper left corner. Vertically, stars need to be in the top left corner. • The American flag is above any other flag on the same staff. Flags of other nations are at the same height if on different staffs.
situations regarding the flag, but that’s why Miles said people shouldn’t be discouraged if neighbors offer advice. At the end of the day, Miles said, the most important thing is that the flag is actually being represented and flown. “I don’t say too much because they’re at least flying a flag,” Miles said. “There’s a lot of people out there that don’t have much commitment to our flag anymore. Neighbors are really good about letting you know when your flag goes shabby. They’re really the best flag police there are.” For more information on the U.S flag code or flag etiquette, visit uscode.house.gov or vfw.org/community/flag-etiquette.

a driver to maneuver so that the driver is no longer in a seated driving position, restrained by a seat belt.” With the new law going into effect soon, local police agencies have been reviewing the legislation in the lead up to June 30. Clawson Chief of Police Kellie Bauss said her department’s staff has reviewed the law and everyone is familiar with it, but it won’t change how officers conduct their usual selective traffic enforcement. “At this time, we’re not assigning any extra bodies to a specific detail for it, but I imagine that could come in the future,” she said. “Right now, they all have been trained on the new law and are familiar with it and, you know, we think it’s something that’s very important that’s finally gone into effect.” Bauss said the new law is self-explanatory and pretty strict, but said it has been needed for a long time. “Cellphones distract drivers, and that’s been a cause of accidents, we’ve found, for quite some time now,” she said. “Hopefully, this decreases distracted driving in general and (will be) decreasing the number of accidents that occur and increasing the safety of everybody in the community.” Berkley Public Safety Detective Lt. Andrew Hadfield said the biggest thing moving forward with the hands-free law will be educating the public on the change and making sure drivers are aware of it. “There’s a reason that it’s here; because we continue to have problems with people trying to operate a motor vehicle down the road and they shifted their focus and attention to a phone instead of actually driving the car,” he said. “We want to prevent accidents. So the entire idea of it is just to prevent bigger problems by putting the phones down and just focusing on the actual aspects of driving.” Hadfield also agreed with Bauss’ assessment that the change in the law has been a long time coming and that the original language in the texting and driving law was not strong enough, as it talked about “specifically sending and receiving messages through the phone.” “It was geared towards seeing someone sending or receiving messages, but they were still using their phone, and trying to show or prove what they were doing became kind of difficult,” he said. “I think this covers what the intent of that law was — that we don’t want people to get distracted on their phones, and so I think they have gotten it closer to being right with the way it’s currently worded.”
The new law has exceptions. These include the use of a phone by a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician and paramedic; the use of a phone for an emergency, including calling or texting 911, or calling a law enforcement agency, health care provider, fire departments or other emergency service agency; and using a phone for GPS, as long as the “information is not entered by hand into the global positioning or navigation system feature of the mobile electronic device.” More exceptions can be found in the official language of the law on the Michigan Legislatures’s website, legislature.mi.gov. If an individual were to break the new law, the first violation would call for a $100 civil fine or to perform 16 hours of community service, or both. A second violation would result in a $250 civil fine or 24 hours of community service, or both. These fines and hour requirements double if the individual is involved in a crash. Three or more civil infractions within a three-year period can lead to a court order where the individual must “complete a basic driver improvement course within a reasonable time as determined by the court.” Bauss said the only questions the department has gotten from the public so far is if it’s OK for people to use their phones at stop signs or red lights, and the answer for both is no. “You’re still operating the vehicle,” she said. “You still need to be cognizant of everything that’s going on around you and be able to react to that, and so you can’t be distracted just because you’re stopped temporarily at a red light or a stop sign.” Call Staff Writer Mike Koury at (586) 498-1077.

can do it in a small space too,” Patrick said. Sylvia Finnigan, who resides in Shelby Township, has made the most of her apartment’s balcony, which measures 6 feet by 9 feet. Finnigan has always had an eye for design and a passion for making the world around her more vibrant. She described her current balcony as “simple yet classy” and one of her most important and favorite spaces. “Every move I’ve made, I have a balcony. And I’ve always made it a fun, lighthearted, whimsical thing, because I really needed that. Let’s put it this way,” Finnigan said, “because a lot of the time, the apartments were smaller, that space had a lot of value. Plus, it also gave you an opportunity to sit out there and enjoy a morning coffee, an afternoon iced lemonade or a nightcap.” For Finnigan, every new space provides an opportunity to express her creativity. She added that she even wants to start helping others who live in apartments or condos create stylish and affordable patios. Finnigan joked that she has a hard time understanding why some people choose to use
their balconies as storage for trash. “There are ways that you can take that space and utilize it and make it private and yet fun and relaxing,” she said. Finnigan affirmed that having a welldecorated balcony or patio doesn’t have to be expensive. When she set out to design her balcony, she made a conscious effort to only purchase items on sale or clearance. A good way to accomplish this is to shop for next summer at the end of this season or shop secondhand, which is also a more sustainable choice. Her favorite solar-powered lights were purchased at Costco last summer for around $30, her chairs were gifted to her as a Mother’s Day gift and are from Target, and her rug she bought at Sam’s Club. For those looking for a simpler layout, Finnigan added that if she could only have three things on her balcony, there would be a chair, a rug and solar lighting because “that’s everything you need.” Finnigan advises that decorating should not be rushed, and it’s crucial to pause and consider how each piece will fit together in a space during the design process. “I think when you start looking for something, the universe has a way of putting things that you think you might need or want out there for you,” she said.
