best of: plymouth, mi

For the past 3 years, Doug & I have lived in Plymouth, MI. Although I've been growing increasingly annoyed with this little city, there are several things I do love about it. So, I thought I'd highlight those for anyone who reads this blog and finds themselves in Plymouth.

However, before I get to the goods, let me get my whining out of the way.

A quick Worst of Plymouth, MI:
-Potholes on Lilley
-Post Office
-Inflated real estate

And now I present...

    Actually, the best Bar& Grill Is that 1900 something. The place where we had those loaded fries. I don't really remember the name of it, but they had good food there.
    Also the best memories: Going Boutiquing with mom em and Rachel of course.
