worldly (my how the time flies when
buried deep in a good book). To say
Book Beat is a treasure hunt is putting
in mildly.
At Street Corner Music, in business
since 1992, they specialize in hard-to-
find jazz, R&B, rock, Motown, blues
and Detroit music. In addition to new
CDs, the store carries a large selection
of "un-abused" vinyl records.
A short drive north of Book Beat,
just south of 11 Mile and set back
from a fast-food joint, is a retailing
curiosity, at least in these parts, where
big savings are guaranteed every
day. It's not a warehouse club along
the lines of a Costco. And it certainly
is not a mass merchant in the vein
of a Target or Wal-Mart. Nor is it a
discounter like Tuesday Morning or
Marshall's.
Rather, it's a German import known
as Aldi (26300 Greenfield, and www.
aldifoods.com for hours and other
locations). And while the savings are
real inside the tidy, no-frills store,
today's bargain may be tomorrow's
disappearing act as the selection
changes like the wind, or more pre-

cisely, depending on what deals its
buyers can uncover.
From grocery basics, wine and
imported chocolate to perishables, pet
food and school supplies, Aldi may
take some getting used to, but, much
like the street it calls home, its quirki-
ness is its appeal.
Other stores in the area worth a look
include Z Coil (29775 Northwestern,
248-350-3815), where specially engi-
neered walking and hiking shoes are
expertly fitted to ensure maximum
comfort and aid in the reduction of
foot pain, and Total Runner (29207
Northwestern Hwy., 248-354-1177),
for running accouterment fit for mara-
thoners and beginners alike.
If running isn't your sport of choice,
but hitting the links is, you might want
to get some pointers from the coaches
at Golf Tec (29203 Northwestern Hwy.,
248-827-4653), who utilize specialized
video and motion analysis technology
to assess your golf swing and improve
your ball-striking abilities.
Not to be outdone in the shoe
department, the granddaddy of metro
area shoe stores, Mr. Alan's Super
