These days, the community’s motto of “Life Now Playing” is an endless loop of work, fun, and entertainment. For starters, there are at least 50 city parks comprising 310 acres; a tasteful and eclectic collection of eateries; movies and live theater; the 125-acre Detroit Zoo; and the cutting edge, award-winning William Beaumont Hospital. You’ll also find an assortment of businesses, including coffee shops, tea houses, toy stores, pottery stores, clothing shops and record shops, as well as a thriving downtown scene, replete with outdoor pianos for anyone to stop and play. There’s a whole lot going on in this Oakland County city.
