Great menu, great food. However staff gets a little gnarly with a dose of rudeness and attitude when the place gets busy. My wife and I are middle age, and very low maintenance when it comes to restaurants. We took our two sons, and two well behaved grand kids their for an early dinner, around 3PM. When we told the greeter there was a total of six of us, she rolled her eyes. The next thing the …   more ›

C.J. Barrymore’s Adds Bumper Cars, Mini-Bowling to Indoor Fun

The latest renovations to the Hall Road entertainment center have been designed to enhance the venue's year-round appeal.

With its go-karts, mini-golf and water games, C.J. Barrymore’s is a popular summertime retreat, but renovations now underway look to make the Hall Road venue a year-round entertainment center. Owner Rick Iceberg said he hopes this latest expansion, which includes electric bumper cars, mini-bowling and new arcade games, will increase the venue’s wintertime appeal. “It’s one more thing,” Iceberg said of the renovations. “We’re trying to expand our winter business. We have so much in the summer, but the bumper cars are another indoor game.” This most recent addition, scheduled to open at the end of February, is yet another piece in Iceberg’s plans to diversify his company’s entertainment offerings. “You have to change,” Iceberg said. “…

It's literally bowling in miniature. The lane is shorter and the ball is about the size of a grapefruit. Rules are the same, I believe. It's more geared toward children and those who may have trouble playing the slightly more strenuous full-size version (back problems, seniors, etc.).   more ›

Century Plastics Expands Into Macomb Township, Looks to Hire 100 Plus New Positions

The Shelby Township-based company is moving into its second of two buildings in Macomb Township and working with Michigan Works! to expand its workforce.

Century Plastics Inc., a Shelby Township-based automotive supplier, has expanded into two Macomb Township buildings on Quadrate Drive, near 23 Mile Road and Hayes.   The Board of Trustees granted the company a temporary Certificate of Occupancy during its Dec. 12 regular meeting, giving Century the OK to occupy the structure in order to complete work on the building.

Goldfish Delays Plans to Build Swim School in Macomb to Late 2013

Goldfish Swim School originally planned to open a Macomb Township facility in 2012.

It's going to take another year for Goldfish Swim School to make its way to Macomb Township. While a franchise was originally intended to open in Macomb by the end of 2012, an associate at the Rochester location said late 2013 is now the tentative date for opening. Goldfish Swim School, which currently operates facilities in Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Grand Rapids, Farmington Hills, Okemos and Rochester, requires an 8,000 to 10,000-square-foot venue to accomodate its specialized 4-foot deep pool. In all Goldfish schools, the pool’s temperature is kept around 90 degrees and all chlorine is produced on-site. The schools are decorated with bright colors and designs to give the impression that students are in the Caribbean or some other tropical …
