I was a part of the first production of "A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody", providing its set dressing at Grosse Pointe Theatre some 20 years ago. Marty Bufalini played the butler... and I still remember him wearing bunny ears for the "costume party".. .. all of us who worked on the show, or were in the show knew then that Ron Bernas had a "winner"... best of luck to Grosse Pointe North's cast -- the high school I graduated from in 1972.

Robert, I've been a huge booster for Pointe Hardware. Their prices are either in-line or better thanRead More big box and their service is amazing. You could probably do a home remodel by just leaching free advice from them.

Don't go to Village Ace Hardware! It's terrible. I needed a fuse, a light bulb, and a furnaceRead More filter. They didn't have any of them.

I absolutely LOVE our local, in-the-park hardware store!! They have what I need, and their friendlyRead More staff know where to find what I need! I really can't stand the "new" Village Ace Hardware. Not only are the staff NOT friendly, but they don't even know their own stock...or much about everyday hardware needs :(

Really. Is it a big enough space? Will the 8 mile facility close?
