Mom and I enjoy thrift store shopping and Salvation Army is our go to thrift store. We like to try…read morethe different thrift stores near us so today we traveled from Sterling Heights to this Salvation Army in Oxford. I would have given 5 stars but I dinged one star for two reasons: the prices at all Salvation Army's has jumped AND they have removed the option to buy jewelry! I really should take away two stars for the removal of jewelry! They used to sell sunglasses, watches, jewelry and other unique pieces behind the glass area (not sure, I forget what it is called when someone has to help you when something is behind glass). A few months ago or last year we noticed Salvation Army would bag a bunch of jewelry up in one bag and say it was $70 or $100 - um, really? You couldn't see the pieces and WTH, why do you think we are at a thrift store...like I have $100 for a guess what's in here bag? There is plenty of parking, the employees are professional and kind. The store is well laid out lots of options for buying...ahem, minus jewelry!

I would highly recommend this spot, even if you have no idea what you are planning to do before you get there. Great inventory and wonderful customer service. Leave a little extra time, because if you need something they don't already have - they will get it for you. Please don't order on Amazon or buy from a big box! This shop has great selection and it's important to support this local business.

Ed's Broadway Gift & Costume is a wonderful little business in downtown Lake Orion. It's like…read morestepping into a theatrical curiosity shop, complete with tons of costumes, hats, accessories, novelties and professional stage makeup. (They carry Ben Nye products.) The business is run by Ed and Kathy, two courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating owners. As a small business owner myself, I applaud their endurance and encourage everyone to support one-of-a-kind enterprises such as this. It's clear that Ed's Broadway Gift & Costume is ideal for the person seeking a good costume for a party or event. I went to find costumes for some short film projects. They had some decent choices. I can recommend this place. Much better and more meaningful than shopping at a big box Halloween store!

From Xmas to Mother's Day to Birthday gifts or something local flare, this is one of my go to shops. I never leave empty handed. Two of my fave earrings are from here and they often have the "it" fidget toys that can be hard to find. Prices are always great too. Highly recommend!

This was my first time in downtown Orion Charter Township and I loved the small town feel as well…read moreas the charming shops and restaurants, which include Green Hippo Gifts. What a cute name! There was a young lady working at the shop and she was very welcoming and offered her assistance if needed. This is the place to buy children's gifts including toys, games, puzzles, and books. For adults, there are greeting cards, notebooks, and Michigan made items. Green Hippo was my favorite shop in this cute town and I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in downtown Orion Charter Township.

Most of it seemed picked over, likely due to plenty of people before I visited. Maybe some days are better with selections, so I'd visit again. The prices for new were worth the visit and the owner was quite nice. The selection of country, folk and 45s was better. If this guy had more inventory and space, it would be a hell of a place!

I am so excited to have this beautiful grocery store open! I love the bright and open design with…read moreplenty of windows, high ceilings and wide aisles. The selection of grocery food items is tremendous! I love the fresh baked cinnamon rolls from the bakery - so many options here. Fruit and veggie selection is wonderful. There's a pharmacy and extensive pet supply area. There are regular checkout counters and an extensive number of self checkout stations. I keep going back multiple times a week because shopping here is fast and easy.

I'm so excited that this Meijer opened! I heard about it and was excited that not only a location…read morein this area was coming along, but that it was a smaller, more market place type instead of a gigantic location. Walking in, the place is clean, well lit and tons of staff were around. the deli and bakery area had tons of food to choose from. Not only fresh produce, but lots of prepared foods as well. Great selection and prices of items, well organized and easy to see. The wine section here is tremendous. It seems bigger than most, and I really liked that. I cruised through but didn't buy any. The freezer section had tons of stock and the aisles were wide and easy to navigate. They also have household items like detergent, toys and other items as well. The checkout area had a large selection of self service stations and registers with employees. Since I only had a few items, I did self checkout. The parking lots a bit tight, but doable. You just might have to circle a minute before finding a space. There's lot of good things about this place being here. I don't come to Lake Orion a lot, but I do occasionally cruise through here from time to time, and never really saw a grocery store (outside of stupid Kroger) in the area. Thanks for being here Meijer, I love it!

I grew up in Lake Orion and came back for a visit this weekend. It was the first time in a very…read morelong time that I had gone downtown to go shopping. I was so excited to see new shops and boutiques had opened up and was very impressed with Simply Marcella. Simply Marcella is the ultimate girly girl boutique, right down to the fact that they have a liquor license so you can drink wine while you shop. There are also a few things for the men as well, but most (as my husband did) would probably prefer to sit in the comfy chairs in the center of the store while us ladies do our thang. There was a lot to look at from wines to purses to clothes and jewelry. What immediately caught my eye was their selection of black pearls. The owner's sister was quick to help me and very knowledgeable about the pieces. She was super friendly and great to talk to. In the end, it was love at first sight with a simple black pearl necklace. My husband then became very helpful and got off the couch! I really hope to see downtown LO grow some more and will tell everyone that it's great to shop local, especially in stores as unique as Simply Marcella.

The lights are everywhere and flows nicely throughout the Christmas village. Plenty of shops and eateries to stop in and warm up or grab a warm hot cocoa or specialty drink. I loved that they setup and goat and sheet feeding pen. The kids and adult's thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The photo opportunities are endless and brings back the traditional family Christmas vibe. The bar and warming area at the end was great, plus the grinch was there for photo ops. Lots of seating in the bar area or outside around the open barrel fires. You'll love this experience for the whole family.

You don't have to participate in the event to shop but it's a lot of fun. We came to this event last year and enjoyed it but this year, there were less businesses participating likely because they don't find value in it. We shop at most of the places we visit and typically buy something but I'm sure most have to weigh the cost versus the return. We have a lot of fun strolling through, collecting our cupcakes (we bring a tin because we found we can't eat them all at once), shopping, and visiting with the shop owners. They also have a Cookie Crawl near the holidays but I didn't enjoy that as much as this one.
