deli because of the feel and the cus-
tomers. With a new office building set
to open up across the street and more
people moving into the area, he expects
continued growth. In fact, he's planning
to move to Commerce himself, joining
a growing Russian Jewish community.
Dr. Brandon A. West has lived in
Commerce for 13 years. Six years ago,
he opened a podiatry office there,
buying the practice of the retiring Dr.
Cyril Leib.
"It's great to see a growing Jewish
community, though it's not quite there
yet," says Dr. West, who grew up in
Southfield.
His Jewish clientele has been grow-
ing every year and he sees every reason
for it to continue.
"People go to Birmingham for more
of the old style and re-doing houses,
and it's very nice," says Dr. West, "but
others are looking for something that
is brand new and growing. The com-
munity and developers are helping to
create a new environment and they
like the excitement of it. It's about
how you want to live, and how I want
to practice. It's the type of thing I was
looking for."

For Dennis Latter,
M-5 has been a
mixed blessing.
Latter opened
Manhattan Bagel 14
years ago in the same
shopping complex as
Dennis Lafter -Hiller's Market at 14
Mile and Haggerty,
just across from West Bloomfield and
Novi.
"M-5 has hurt because Haggerty
Road is empty," Latter says. "There is
no traffic."
He recently changed his business to
Manhattan Deli and expects business
to pick up in the fall when school
begins again and summer vacationers
return. He is planning on opening
earlier and offering a breakfast menu
to bring people in. "We've got to get
people back here in the morning," he
says.
Susan Kamin, Federation's gover-
nance coordinator, also has mixed feel-
ings about the area's development. She
has lived in Commerce for 12 years
though she has a Walled Lake address.
"It's so hard to separate Commerce
from Walled Lake," she says, which
