The Clarkston Foundation would like to share their appreciation to Nate Neiman and Neiman’s Family Market for the generous donation of 1,000 complimentary continental breakfast gift cards […]
Dear Editor, Due to continued mandates concerning public gatherings and other uncertainties regarding public health issues, Campbell-Richmond Post 63 regrets having to announce the cancellation of its annual Memorial Day service at Lakeview Cemetery scheduled for May 31, 2021. This cancellation was a result of some of the continued mandates affecting public gatherings such as […]
Dear Editor, Those who reside on or in the vicinity of Holcomb Road in both Independence and Springfield townships are fortunate to live in an area of great natural beauty. It is a privilege to be a resident of that area. Unfortunately, there are a number of homeowners directly on Holcomb Road who choose not […]
Dear Editor, Spring is here! Litter is here! Respect for our community and planet is gone. It’s hard to understand why anyone would continue to trash our neighborhoods. How will we ever agree on anything if we can’t properly dispose of our trash? Please respect your neighbor. Realtor signs are popping up like dandelions. The […]

The Clarkston resident is cast as an “outsider,” and “lone wolf,” a man who does not represent our sweet and gentle town. If Maxwell Wyckoff, a member of the Wolverine Watchmen, is the […]
Dear Editor, The neighborhood has been asking “the inspector” about the Delmas Road drug house for the past 15 months. Immediately after the new owner’s possession, a contractor working there informed the neighbors that they were starting a marijuana grow house. The building department was informed of the situation and they said that “nothing could be […]
