There's an old saying, "Nothing is sure except death and taxes".  Students of history know that to be true.  Ancient cultures had taxes, too.  And railed against them as we do.Change happens on all levels.  I'm currently noticing it with traffic patterns and roads.  Of course, a small dirt road is great when it's only used by farmers on the weekend.  But a growing community will experience a lot more of that on a fairly regular basis.  And for a growing community we should all be happy.  Fields converted to new housing, retail operations and restaurants - all a sign of a growing and thriving area.  Right now we're seeing the byproduct of that in the Brighton, Michigan area.  For a few years now, the new scourge of the drivers with a 'traditional' outlook has been the installation of rou...

Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Brighton is having a Shroud of Turn display Saturday, April 4, 2015, from noon to 6:00 pm. The display consists of two life-sized photographs of the front and back of the shroud. The display will be in the church’s cry room. The images come from a researcher that participated in the 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project, which ultimately radiocarbon dated the shroud back to only medieval times.  The exhibit is part science and part art history. The exhibit asks people to make their own decision as to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.   Holy Spirit Catholic Church is located at 9565 Musch Rd., 48116, in Green Oak Township at the corner of Winans Lake Rd.

On Saturday, March 23rd, the Brighton Area Road Striders (BARS) will host their annual race, the No Frills All Thrills Trail Run at the Huron Meadows Metropark in Brighton. This year, the race changes from a 5 mile distance to an 8K (4.97 miles).  New this year is the 'Half Thrills' 4K event (2.48 miles) if you're not in shape to go the full distance - or if you just want to finish earlier and get back to the refreshment table before the 8K'ers come in. The race is professionally timed, offers unique awards and has been a staple on the early season trail running circuit for many years.  The park offers gently rolling hills with heated rest rooms.  A metropark pass is required to get into the park and you can buy either a daily or season pass on the day of the event.  Season passes are g...

Green Oak Township is located in the SE corner of Livingston County.  It starts right at the county line and portions of the Whitmore Lake, South Lyon and Brighton School Districts fall within its boundaries.  Zip codes that serve the township are Brighton (48116), Whitmore Lake (48189) and South Lyon (48178).  It has seen some large commercial developments along the US-23 at Lee Rd in recent years. I think it also leads the county in number of traffic roundabouts installed, with three at the Lee Rd/US-23 exchange. There’s also a lot of recreation space in the township. The entire 1500 acre Huron Meadows Metropark falls within its border, as does most of the 4000 acre Island Lake State Recreation Area.  Moose Ridge Golf Course is in Green Oak as is the northern end of all sports Whitmor...

Usually there are a few Whitmore Lake waterfront homes for sale.  They are a mixture of colonials, ranches, bungalows, and even split levels.  Most of the homes on the lake are under 2000 square feet.  A good number are under 1000 square foot.  The price range of Whitmore Lake waterfront properties range from a $100,000 to over $400,000 depending on the size and location of the home on the lake.  Many of the homes on Whitmore Lake were built during the years of 1920 - 1950's.  I did notice one home that was built in 1870.  There have been many that have been torn down and new homes rebuilt where the old ones stoods.  Some even as late as 2007.      If you are interested in more information on Whitmore Lake waterfront homes, please give me a call or email me at yesmyrealtor@gmail.com Mic...

Our first 'big' snow on December 1st was a heavy, sticky type (great for making snowmen and snow balls!), and between appointments I stopped at a local park. I love the way snow hangs on the conifers.  This shot is at the golf course at Huron Meadows Metropark, off Rickett and Hammel Roads. I drove through the south end of the park, too. The park roads were plowed and clear but really slick.  I was surprised to see a couple of cars parked at the picnic area with nobody around. Apparently, they were out enjoying the snow on xc skis.

At the December 19, 2007 Green Oak Township Board Meeting, the Building Department recommended consideration of an ordinance to register residential rental units. The Board's online packet and minutes contain numerous rental registration ordinances from around the State. The current thinking is to do an initial inspection at the time of registration to make sure the structure is up to code, then do either annual or bi-annual inspections. This could be implemented in Spring of 2008 in one form or another. That packet is currently under the 'Bulletin Board' area, but will get moved to 'Minutes & Meetings' at some point.The City of Howell has an ordinance which requires annual registration of rental homes through the Community Development Department. It has nominal fees associated with it,...
