WE ARE CLOSED PERMANTELY DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE MAYOR AND TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR. I HAVE BEEN IN COURT WITH THEM FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS FIGHTING THEM TO ALLOW WINDOW SIGNS IN THE BUSINESS'S THAT OPENED UP IN THIS SHOPPING CENTER. CORNER OF 7 MILE AND NAPIER ROADS .

THE SUPREME COURT OF MICHIGAN DECIDED THAT THEY WILL LET NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP DO WHAT THEY WANT.  NO BUSINESS AT THIS SHOPPING CENTER IS ALLOWED TO PUT A "OPEN FOR BUSINESS SIGN IN THEIR WINDOW".

THERE IS MORE TO IT, BUT SIMPLY PUT, THERE ARE NO WINDOW SIGNS ALLOWED AT ALL IN THIS CORNER OF THE TOWNSHIP. I HAVE TRIED TO FIGHT THIS AT GREAT EXPENSE FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I HAVE LOST MANY TENANTS DUE TO THIS TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE AND WHEN THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT DECIDED THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR THE CASE,  THE NEXT DAY NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE MAYOR AND SUPERVISOR ORDERED THE POLICE TO ISSUE A TICKET TO ME.

  IN COURT THE JUDGE GAVE ME  120 DAYS TO REMOVE ALL SIGNS IN ALL THE WINDOWS, TO REMOVE THE GARBAGE DUMPSTER BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HIGH, TO REMOVE ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT, TOO REMOVE ALL THE "LAVA ROCK IN THE FLOWER BEDS AND REPLACE THEM WITH MULCH. AND MANY OTHER IDIOTIC ITEMS.  I HAVE GIVEN UP, YOU CAN NOT FIGHT CITY HALL,  I CLOSED THIS STORE AND EVERY OTHER STORE HERE IS CLOSING EXCEPT THE BAKERY WHICH DOES NOT NEED SIGNS , BECAUSE THEY SELL MAINLY WHOLESALE.  I WANT TO THANK ALL OUR CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, BUT WHEN THE JUDGES BACK UP THE TOWNSHIP , THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT TO DO.

I BUILT THIS CENTER IN THE WORST TIMES AND SPENT OVER 4 MILLION DOLLARS, EMPLOYED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND LOOKED FORWARD TO EMPLOYING MORE, BUT NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD WAGE "WAR" ON ME AND THE OTHER TENANTS THAT WERE HERE, ONCE THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT

DECIDED NOT TO HEAR THE CASE, IRECIEVED TICKETS THE NEXT DAY.

I WAS JUST ASKING FOR THE RIGHT TO GO TO A JURY TRIAL, AND WAS DENIED IN THE LOCAL COURT, THE CIRCUIT COURT, THE COURT OF APPEALS AND THE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT.

THE PROPERTY ZONING AND SIGN ORDINANCE WAS CHANGED JUST BEFORE I PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, I CHECKED PRIOR BUT DIDN''T KNOW THAT IT CHANGED. EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IN THE TOWNSHIP CAN HAVE WINDOW SIGNS AND MORE, BUT NOT THIS CORNER.

SO THE EMPLOYMENT WENT AWAY, THE TAXES GENERATED FOR THE TOWNSHIP IS GONE, THE BUSINESS ARE GONE, AND NOW THEY HAVE AN EMPTY SHOPPING CENTER.   CONGRATULATIONS NORTHILLE TOWNSHIP BOARD OR TRUSTEES, THE MAYOR AND THE SUPERVISOR YOU ALL WON AND I AND THE RESIDENTS OF NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP LOST. JUST BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T ALLOW

A BUSINESS TO PUT AN " OPEN SIGN" IN THEIR WINDOW.

THE TOWNSHIP AND THE JUDGES ARE ALL ELECTED BEWARE WHO YOU ELECT IN THE FUTURE.  I WILL MOVE ON TO BUILD ANOTHER SHOPPING CENTER BUT THIS ONE WILL REMAIN EMPTY FOR YEARS IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE. 

IF THIS DOES NOT MAKE "SENSE" YOU ARE RIGHT, IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. BUT IT HAPPENED, I AND THE REST OF THE TENANTS LOST OVER 5 MILLION DOLLARS , NOT TO MENTION ALL THE TAXES, EMPLOYMENT

WE HAD AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS AND EMPLOYEES BUT IF THEY SIDED WITH US THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR JOBS. 

I AM AN EX U.S MARINE AND SERVED IN VIETNAM AND IF I KNEW THAN THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN AMERICA, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO LIVE IN VIETNAM, (THEIR CURRENT COUNTRY UNDER THE PEOPLE I FOUGHT IS THRIVING) AND AMERICA IS DECLINING BECAUSE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR POCKETS  AND EGOS , INSTEAD OF THE  PUBLIC.
