I appreciate the coverage, certainly of my comments, but also of everything that actually goes on at council. This is almost a “document of record” publication.

Two corrections to your coverage of my remarks: 1) I heard the term, “Charm Zone” at a city council work session, not a planning commission work session; 2) I cited Southfield, not Royal Oak, as a post- WWII community. Much of Royal Oak was built before WWII.

“… you misspelled Marcia Higgins’ last name under Communications from Council.”

Duly noted, with apologies to Marcia Higgins, as this is not the first time. The Chronicle’s strategy for documenting this and other errors of fact is to note them in the Missed Ticks section as well as correcting them in situ in a way that is reasonably transparent (red-lining deleted text, with blue for added text).

There’s bound to be a plug-in or a baked-in custom dictionary function in WordPress that could supplement the vigilance of visual inspection.

A very great article! Its only flaw is that you misspelled Marcia Higgins’ last name under Communications from Council.

Thanks for the detailed notes.

Quickie Burger wants to serve liquor! That would change the Hill-Packard-State triangle, and that whole corner of town doesn’t have any liquor licenses.
