On the Wintergarden ground floor,
it gives a beautiful water view as the
lights of Detroit and Windsor ripple in
soft shimmers.
The new contemporary and upscale
Andiamo Riverfront and its fine north-
ern Italian cuisine makes number nine
in the growing chain of restaurants
with Joe as CEO.
HE MAY BE the family's culinary
outcast when it comes to cooking, but
barrister Milton Landau, father-in-law
of Dr. Glen Gardner in the ear, nose
and throat department of Detroit-
based Henry Ford Hospital, isn't com-
plaining.
Glen s mother-in-law, Sandie
Landau, is a wonderful cook.
Glen, himself, probably has it the
best of all, though, enjoying excellent
cooking by his wife, Leslye, his moth-
er, Margot Gardner, and also his dad,
Herbert Gardner, D.D.S., with his
Chinese cooking prowess.
No wonder Glen doesn't eat out too
much.
LA SHISH restaurant doors have
been closed permanently in West
Bloomfield's Orchard Mall.
MAIL DEPT. ... "I don't know if
I've ever seen a 'Restores Your Faith'
department in your column before,
but should you decide to start one, I
have a candidate. I came out of Warren
Drugs [in Farmington Hills] to find a
yellow note in the window-wiper of
my new car. It said, 'I hit your fender.
I'm sorry.' and included a telephone
number. I don't know about you, but I
found this to be especially nice.
"People seem to be so busy trying to
`get away' with things, so busy looking
for excuses, so busy excusing them-
selves from doing
doing the right thing. But
street in
not Lisa Isak of
West Bloomfield. She just did what
vvas right. It made me feel so good I
thought you, and maybe your readers,
might want to feel good too." ... Joan
Feldman.
FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER opening,

WITH THE Jewish News coming
out on Thursdays instead of Fridays as
of Jan. 14, 2005, it will be quite a new
experience for all of us at the paper.
My first since the JN began in 1942,
so it may take a little longer for me to
catch on to the change, but I'll need
your help.
With the new deadline, please try
and get me your info a couple of weeks
ahead ... I know the paper will be
delivered only a day earlier, but it
shoves the cut-off date back about five
days.
After all that the folks at the JNhave
gone through with the tragic fire that
just about destroyed everything ... and
the paper still coming out on time ...
something like this sure won't throw
them very far ... And if they can do it,
dang it, why can't you and I?
