well, invitations.
And lastly, gals who appreciate
classic, elegant styles give a nod to
Margaret Rice (78 Kercheval, 313-
881-7020), and the nearby Jane
Woodbury Shop (369 Fisher Rd.,

Depending on your fitness level,
leave the car parked on The Hill and
stroll the half-dozen or so blocks
down Kercheval into the Village,
between Neff and Cadieux, where
there's a well proportioned mix of
national chains, like Gap (16828
Kercheval, 313-885-5133) and Ann
Taylor (16822 Kercheval, 313-882-
3380), sprinkled among long-estab-
lished merchants such as
Hickey's/Walton Pierce (17051
Kercheval, 313-882-8970), in busi-
ness since 1900, and Valente
Jewelers (16849 Kercheval, 313-881-
4800).
Urban Daisy (17114 Kercheval,
313-881-3771), which specializes in
contemporary clothing for women,
is the casual foil to the fine apparel
and designer collections at exclusive
women's stores like Dawood (16840
Kercheval, 313-881-0655) and
Boutique Bellissma (17027
Kercheval, 313-881-1985).
Outdoor types - whether canvass-
ing the back country or merely tra-
versing the urban jungle - will want
to stock up on gear from Moosejaw
Mountaineering (17037 Kercheval,
313-881-9999), and for the younger
set there's Madilu & Ethan Too
(17116 Kercheval, 313-881-4223),
brimming with clothing and acces-
sories for infants and children, and
Village Toy Co. (16900 Kercheval,
313-882-1300); remember to inquire
about its birthday registry.

ENTERTAINMENT/HANGOUT

Blessed by having Lake St. Clair liter-
ally at their doorsteps, residents and
visitors alike enjoy cycling, jogging,
or walking along beautifully land-
scaped Lake Shore Drive.
Often referred to as Grosse
Pointe's "community center," the
historic War Memorial
(www.warmemorial.org) serves the
civic, cultural and educational needs
of the area.
In addition to a full production
schedule, Grosse Pointe Theatre
(www.gpt.org), founded in 1948,
offers acting workshops for adults
and programs for children.
If there's to be any one symbol to
represent Grosse Pointe, the winner
would unequivocally be the historic
Edsel & Eleanor Ford House
(www.fordhouse.org), once home to
Henry Ford's only child, Edsel, his
wife Eleanor, and their children.
And since opening to the public
in 1978, hundreds of thousands of
guests have toured this extraordi-
nary lake-front home.
