iving in St Charles my whole life, I’ve seen things that have changed and haven’t changed over the years. The sense of community and that small town feel we are all looking for still exists here. You can seek to continue your faith in the churches in town along with many vital businesses still thriving. Our Main Street features our local post office and a place to gather in the morning either at the pharmacy or the feed store. Casey’s General Store takes care of all of our modern conveniences, as well. If you’re looking to unwind, look no further than the two local wineries on each side of St Charles. We have also been home to the Hinterland Festival and The Big Country Bash the last few years. This is a great place to raise a family, walk your dog and get to know your neighbors!

elcome to Kirkridge in the Hills. My expanding family has lived here since 2015. I still remember my first thoughts as we toured the neighborhood looking for our future home. Great area, a lot of variety, not your typical neighborhood development. Since we moved in, its been great. We love how close we are to the restaurants and businesses in downtown Grand Blanc. We also enjoy the short drive to I-75 and all the access it provides.

hen my family and I moved to Parkville in 2006, the main attraction (besides the schools) was Downtown Parkville. With its unique shops, restaurants, walking trails and baseball fields, we felt we had found an oasis outside of the hustle and bustle of the surrounding communities. This was the case for a number of years. Then the financial crisis hit, and lots of those businesses closed up shop and Main Street suffered for years with lots of vacancies, businesses coming and going, etc.

In the last couple of years, there has been a revival. We’ve seen businesses keep their doors open and new ones opening their doors. Today, a new restaurant, the River Park Pub & Eatery, is opening its doors at the old Power Plant building. This is one of those spaces that has been dying for a tenant! With a great patio and upstairs deck, this should be a is a no-brainer. I can’t wait to try it out. Main Street also has a new boutique, “Sincerely, Ellis”, that opened over the weekend. I plan to stop in and shop after lunch at River Park. Next time you are looking for something to do on a Saturday, stop by and check out our little town and visit the locally-owned businesses while you’re at it!
