A window-shopper's paradise this
isn't. But as far as destination
shopping goes, there's plenty of
variety in the mix.
Bibliophiles wax poetic about
the Borders (31150 Southfield,
248-644-1515) at 13 Mile and
Southfield. No bells and whistles
here as found at other Borders
around town. Because of its
smallish size, those in charge do
an excellent job of editing the
selections for their very discern-
ing clientele.
If you're more comfortable
doing the serving than being
served, wander the aisles at
Market Square (1964 Southfield,
248-644-4641) or Vic's Fruit
Market (31201 Southfield, 248-
647-4646) for some gourmet culi-
nary inspiration.
Borders' new fragrant neighbor
is Penzeys Spices (17712 W. 13
Mile, 248-647-6177). The
Wisconsin-based retailer has
about two dozen stores through-
out the Midwest and South brim-
ming with more than 250 spices,
seasonings and herbs from adobo
seasoning (a spicy, salt-free
Mexican blend) and allspice to
wasabi and zatar (an almost-tart
tasting mixture popular in
Middle Eastern cooking).
For whatever reason, men's
wear stores like to congregate on
Southfield Road, particularly
those specializing in, well, spe-
cial sizes. Among the flock are
Rochester Big & Tall (26300
Southfield, 248-569-4144),
Casual Male Big and Tall (26740
Southfield, 248-569-3530), and
Casual Male Big and Tall
Premier (25000 Southfield, 248-
557-9223), featuring clothing
from Nautica and Polo.
There's also Men's Wearhouse
(27701 Southfield, 248-557-
3769), Van Dykes (18211 W. 10
Mile, 248-569-4630) and home-
grown Mr. Alan's (24723
Southfield, 248-559-7818). And
if you need a good tailor,
Southfield Road's got plenty of
those, too.
Much like the haberdashers,
niche merchants find their for-
tunes along the strip. In fact, so
specialized are they in what they
sell, descriptions would be super-
fluous. To wit: House of
Watchbands (29205 Southfield,
248-552-0800), George's Soccer
Supply (27051 Southfield, 248-
557-1166), Smith Watson
Gallery of Dolls & Trains (26600
Southfield, 248-569-1007), and
Spy Shack (26606 Southfield,
248-557-7322).
As far as
destination
shopping goes,
Southfield Road
offers plenty of
variety in its
eclectic mix of
commercial areas.
ARTS & CULTURE
While technically not on
Southfield Road, many cultural
attractions are only a short drive
away. SRO, or Standing Room
Only
(www.cityofsouthfield.com/liv-
ing/sro.php), is a Southfield-
based community theater troupe
which stages its productions in a
restored circa-1850s church locat-
ed in Southfield's Burgh
Historical Park (www.cityof-
southfield.com/departments/park
s/arts_center.php).
Located in the city's Civic
Center, the acclaimed Southfield
Public Library (26300 Evergreen,
248-796-4200, or
www.sfldlib.org ) uses its glorious,
spacious new building to stage
art exhibits and host a year-
