Southfield, MI 48034 SideMP,

248-208-1680

Store (24723 Southfield, 248-559-
7818), looms large at the corner of
Southfield and 10 Mile with shoes
for the entire family in styles and
colors for every occasion, while over
on Northwestern Highway, kids will
step lively with a pair of perfect-fit-
ting footwear from Seashells (29963
Northwestern, 248-948-7888).
On the high-end of the retail spec-
trum, Darakjian Jewelers (29333
Northwestern, 248-356-7140) is sure
to please with glittering treasures
and timepieces, while treasures of a
plusher, warmer sort are waiting at the
petite El-Mar's Fur Salon (13661 W.
11 Mile, 248-398-3733).
And if you're in a fix for a new
watchband or battery, or a watch for
that matter, all roads lead to House of
Watchbands (29205 Southfield Rd.,
800-928-2437), keeping us on time
since 1927.
Finally, do some shopping for
the home with a stop at Gorman's
Furniture (29145 Telegraph, 248-353-
9880). Unlike Gorman's other area
stores, however, the Southfield location
exclusively sells contemporary furni-
ture and accessories.

ENTERTAINMENT/ARTS
CULTURE/EVENTS

4-

Albeit limited, the gallery scene here is
dominated by two large — in physical
size and reputation — purveyors of
art: the imposing Park West Gallery
(29469 Northwestern, 248-354-2343),
which also hosts rotating exhibits and
conducts fine art auctions, and the
Print Gallery (29173 Northwestern,
248-356-5454), well stocked with
creative and uncommon art, gifts and
accessories, and its highly regarded

collection of fine art posters and
prints.
Besides a place to check out books
and browse magazines, the visually
striking Southfield Public Library
(26300 Evergreen, 248-796-4200) fills
its weeks with programs and events
for children and families alike. It
even offers call-ahead book requests.
Simply call the library, request a book
and it'll be waiting when you arrive.
Check out www.sfldlib.org for more
details.
Something a little more "rustic"
appeals to families, kids, everyone,
really. And even if you aren't sure
exactly where to turn in, just follow
the sweet scent of fresh-pressed apples
and crisp-on-the-outside, still-warm-
on-the-inside donuts wafting from the
charming and historic Franklin Cider
Mill (7450 Franklin Rd. at 14 Mile,
248-626-2968). If there was a quintes-
sential fall excursion, a cider-mill stop
is definitely it! The mill is open every
day, Labor Day through Thanksgiving.
Lastly, each municipality, under
the direction of its respective parks
and recreation department, library or
community center, sponsors events,
athletics and educational programs
large and small, from multi-ethnic
and multi-generational celebrations
to dance classes, Tai Chi lessons, com-
puter workshops and soccer leagues.

And finally, keep the contact infor-
mation for the Jewish Community
Center Oak Park campus (15110 W.
10 Mile, 248-967-4030) handy to keep
abreast of its schedule of events and
seminars. O
