This bustling suburb along Lansing's western flank is one of the area's fastest-growing and most diverse. Even though its main drag is busy Saginaw Street, the township still has a bit of that small-town feel Horrock's, an icon in Delta Township, began in 1959 as a small roadside fruit stand. It still has that earthy, down-home feel, although now it offers everything from French pussy willow plants to marinated sun-dried tomatoes and stuffed olives to an extensive wine list. Phyllis Manuel said the produce store is one of her favorite hangouts. "You always run into someone you know," she said. The township - long home to several General Motors Corp. facilities - is gearing up for a new $800 million assembly plant that will open in 2006 and employ 2,900.

People are attracted to Williamston because of its quaint, small-town atmosphere. Yet, the city is only a mile from I-96, which offers convenient travel to jobs, colleges, entertainment and shopping centers. Williamston is located just five miles from the Meridian Mall in Okemos, nine miles from Michigan State University in East Lansing, and 14 miles from the State Capitol in Lansing. Many residents commute to other urban areas for jobs. The city is also attempting to expand the local job and tax bases with additions to its industrial park on the city's south side.
Downtown Williamston consists of a variety of specialty shops and restaurants in historic buildings that have been well preserved. West of downtown is Deer Creek Park, featuring a sledding hill, basketball courts, and a running track, and The Williamston Depot Museum, a renovated railroad depot that houses the Williamston Area Chamber of Commerce and the city museum. North of the downtown area is McCormick Park, which is being redesigned to resemble an old English park and already boasts riverside benches and a playscape for children. On the Red Cedar River, where there was once a millrace and then a hydroelectric dam, there is now whitewater rapids, offering a challenging ride for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. There is also a riverside boardwalk for strolling. More wide walkways are being planned as the city tries to encourage pedestrian travel. The community also has an indoor public pool for swimmers near the high school. Public Schools |  | | | | |

Animal House >House Odors
What is "H.O."? You can probably guess--it means "home odors".
Be careful of odors in your home. If your family room smells stuffy and stale, or if your cat or dog has left a distinctive odor in the hallway, take action by eliminating the source of the odor rather than merely treating the effects. Smells have a powerful effect on the way people react to a house, and no amount of room freshener or vanilla on the light bulbs can mask a serious odor problem. In fact, such remedies may draw attention to the problem. We have seen homes with an odor problem languish unsold on the market for months or sell for significantly less than comparable homes in the neighborhood.
If you think that you may have a problem, talk candidly with your real estate agent. Your agent should be able to offer some constructive suggestions, and perhaps refer you to a professional who can help banish H.O. from your home!
