South Lyon/Oakland County
APPEAL: South Lyon is an expanding city in southwest Oakland County. Despite its growth, it offers a small-town feel and retains much of its historical look with a quaint, picturesque pedestrian-friendly downtown and traditional neighborhoods. Older neighborhoods surround downtown with walkable, tree-lined streets. Victorian-style homes are close to each other, and many have large front porches that add to the friendly atmosphere. Newer subdivisions are near the edge of South Lyon's city limits. More than 482 residential building permits have been issued since 2000, according to Housing Consultants in Clarkston. At the center of South Lyon's business district at 10 Mile and Pontiac Trail, known as Lake Street and Lafayette Street inside city limits, is a compact downtown offering unique retail and service businesses in turn-of-the-century storefronts.
Web 2.Osoyou
In a world where Prada has taken on the humble mobile phone, it's no surprise that technology and fashion are merging where the most commercial communication is taking place: Web 2.0. Social networking is a haven for advertising, since word of mouth can elevate anything from obscurity in a spectacular Arctic Monkeys manouevre. A new venture which will be launching this summer is Osoyou.com (and it just happens to be next door at Shiny Towers). With the slogan "Stare. Shop. Share", Osoyou aims to merge shopping with social networking by offering an online mall / hangout and blog. And it's not the only one. Calvin Klein dipped a toe into the social network revolution with CKIN2U. Cloying text-speak aside, the website invited us to tell them what we were into.

EXPANDED MENU: New retail projects draw big-city restaurants to ...
Big-city cuisine is headed for the Boston suburbs, spurred by a pair of major new projects planned for the lower end of Route 128. New dining options will include an Aquitaine French bistro, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and The Yard House, a southern California brewpub chain that is using Legacy Place in Dedham as a springboard for its East Coast expansion. Developers view big-name restaurants as an important selling point when attempting to attract other desirable retail tenants. "Restaurants are looked at by retailers as entertainment,’’ said Carol Carbanaro, a vice president at New England Development of Newton. "They bring people to the center, and they keep people at the center longer.’’ Negotiations on leases are taking place at Legacy Place, the latest lifestyle center proposed by W/S Development of Newton, and rival Westwood Station, a mixed-use project off University Avenue in Westwood.
