This visit to the GM Renaissance Center felt bittersweet. With GM moving its global headquarters to…read morethe Hudson's Detroit building, much of the RenCen is already closed for renovation. Level A - the first floor was closed, and we could only walk around Level 1, with limited access to view the cars from above. For years, this has been one of my favorite spots to bring friends when they visited Detroit. Seeing everything from vintage GM models to upcoming vehicles all in one place always felt iconic. Knowing this was likely one of the last visits before major demolition begins made it feel even more emotional. We'll truly miss this space as we've known it. The change, while disappointing at first, makes sense. The two office towers closest to the river, along with the connecting podium, are slated for demolition. The original 1970s-era design simply no longer fits modern work needs, especially with the shift toward remote and hybrid work. While it's sad to see this space go, the future plans, opening up the riverfront and creating a Navy Pier-style park and entertainment area, give hope that something even better is coming.

I was here for a stay at the Marriott hotel but I still managed to do some wandering through the…read moreproperty. Envisioned by Henry Ford II as a "city within a city" to counteract the decline of Detroit in the 1960s, it was designed by architect John Portman who is also responsible for the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco and the New York Marriott Marquis, among others. Phase one was completed in 1977 with additional towers added in 1981 for a total of seven! Sadly, General Motors decided to relocate its headquarters elsewhere and much of the office space is vacant. But that doesn't make it any less interesting and the GM display in the lowest level is darned awesome. [Review 682 of 2025 - 390 in Michigan - 24243 overall]

I love a good busy mall and this is one of the best I've seen. We used to have a great indoor mall…read more(RIP Northbrook Court) in the Chicago suburbs and still have an amazing outdoor mall (Old Orchard) but when you live in a freezer for half the year it's nice to have an indoor shopping destination. There's a fancy side and a "normal" side separated by a skybridge. My daughter and I started on the fancy side and did a little damage and then made our way across the bridge. Favorites included Ralph Lauren, Alo, Vuori & Aritzia (with it's own cafe). We only had a few hours to kill before we had to pick up my sons, but could have easily spent all day here and it wasn't easy getting her to leave! We weren't the only shoppers on this rainy fall day. The place was packed and the stores were "black friday" level busy. It brought me back to the good old days of mall shopping and made me long for a great indoor mall in Chicago. Maybe some day, but in the meantime will get my indoor mall shopping fix when we visit the Detroit burbs.

Extremely disappointing and unacceptable handling of a serious fraud issue…read more I contacted this store after discovering unauthorized credit card transactions made at this location. I reached out for assistance and was directed to the security team by help desk. The help desk was very rude and disrespectful. They requested my credit card information and phone number, assured me that someone would follow up, and then completely failed to contact me afterward. A customer dealing with thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges should not be ignored after providing requested information in good faith. At minimum, I expected basic communication, professionalism, and accountability. Instead, I received no update, no explanation, and no follow-through. This experience has seriously damaged my trust in this store's customer service and security response. I hope management reviews how fraud-related customer concerns are handled, because leaving customers without any response after asking for sensitive information is unacceptable.

This mall is sorta like Partridge Creek and the outdoor mall in Rochester, but not quite as nice…read more Still it's not too shabby as far as smaller shopping centers go. It has a few stores that I like and it's in between the Flint area and metro Detroit, so it'll do in a pinch if I'm in the Brighton area, which happens now and then. They have a varied selection of stores, ranging from Dick's and Barnes and Noble to J. Jill, Claire's, Pier One and Five Below, plus a whole lot more, in addition to a few decent watering holes and eateries. In truth, they have more restaurant options than I would assume they might at such a small-ish open air/strip mall. It's better than having limited options or eateries with excessive lines or a crappy food court with just fast food garbage. I like the Pier One store, but the Barnes and Noble is not my favorite B & N location, but it's still nice to have a brick and mortar book store in the area. This mall has a few shops that we don't have at home, plus a variety of others that we do. Other than that, the parking is adequate and the location is pretty decent and convenient, just off the expressway. I'd like to see a few more boutiques open up, but for now, the mix of retailers is decent, relatively varied and the options for food & drinks is great for such a small venue.

Don Juan's Mexican is across the way. We had some apps and snacks there…read more Nice outdoor mall with the bulk of the shops down on one side of the mall. We browsed some at Barnes and Noble. I bought some hand cream at Bath and Body Works. Did a pass through the sandals and shoe aisles at DSW. We had a walk through White House Black Market and checked out some house goods at Pier 1.

Compared to most other cities in metro Detroit and surrounding communities, it has one of the most fun and funky downtowns, thriving and active, with a lot of emphasis on organic and earth-friendly goods. Westchester Square Mall is a series of connected shops and includes outdoor paths between them. Included in the mall are places like the Omelette and Waffle Cafe, a stained glass gallery and supply store and many other small independent gift shops. One of the best things about shopping downtown Plymouth is that parking is a breeze. There are a number of large city-owned lots that are completely free, with time limits ranging from two to eight hours.

Macomb Mall has come a long way over the years. It's no longer a vacant, empty and messy place…read more Store fronts are welcoming. Business is good. It's so clean, too! This mall has a handful of solid bigger stores. Hobby Lobby, Dick's, Old Navy and Kohl's. Food options are good with a few pretzel places (Love Auntie Anne's!), Cinnabon and a new Chinese take out restaurant. There's even chairs and tables so you can sit and relax. For your skincare needs there is also a larger Ulta and Bath and Body Works. For men there's Dick's and Foot Locker. The only thing missing, in my opinion, is an American Eagle. There used to be one here years ago and it's sadly gone. I have dreams that they'll open one where the the Forever 21 used to be. The inside mall is very clean. I always see workers cleaning up and taking care of messes. The outside mall, however, needs some work. The parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. No clear direction. Parking spots that aren't well painted. Overall a great place to spend an hour or two.

Subject: Complaint Regarding Poor Service at Walmart Auto Center - Chesterfield Twp, MI…read more To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with a recent experience I had at your Auto Service Center located in Chesterfield Township, Michigan. What was supposed to be a routine oil change and tire rotation turned into a complete waste of time and an incredibly frustrating ordeal. I brought my high-top van in for service and was assured by the first associate that there would be no issues performing both the oil change and tire rotation. I was told it would take some time, so I walked around the store for nearly two hours while waiting. Upon returning, I was shocked to find that nothing had been done. The second associate then claimed that they tried to call me but that the call went to voicemail. I immediately checked my phone--there was no missed call, voicemail, or notification of any kind. This feels like a blatant excuse, possibly because they were nearing closing time and didn't want to proceed with the service. To make matters worse, earlier that day I had called the store to inquire about black rubber mulch in the outdoor garden section. I was told none was available. However, while walking back to the Auto Center, I saw an entire pallet of it in plain sight. This level of misinformation is beyond frustrating. Overall, this experience was unacceptable. Between the lack of follow-through, poor communication, and misinformation, I left both disappointed and aggravated. Unless serious improvements are made in customer service and internal communication, I will not be returning to this location--or possibly any Walmart--for automotive service again. I expect a response and some form of accountability for this experience. Sincerely, Scott D. Romesburg 810-794-8077 Date of Visit: 05/20/2025

I am so very pleased and happy that this awesome "Marketplace" of stores for shopping is here. I…read morehave been cruising out to this area since Spring due to the never ending construction on M-59, and some of the stores too are getting old or run down in similarity. The drive maybe an extra 2 to 3 miles from my home but its a worthwhile and yet satisfying feeling to park in a clean and smooth paved parking lot at the many stores here. Kohl's is the main store up front that one can see from Gratiot Ave next to Art Van. Turn off Gratiot at this large display sign and drive to back lot areas of stores. Nearby is a Big Lots, Hobby Lobby for you craft and thrift shoppers. There are 12 fairly new stores such as Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, DSW, Dress Barn, JCPenney, Five Below, Bath & Body Works, Old Navy and Ulta are my favorites. I may have missed a few to list here so check out this area for yourself. It is pleasant to talk with great customer service employees at the several stores where I shop too. A big change from Hall Rd. stores. The back parking lot after Kohl's store is where all the great shops are at with connecting driveways close to each other. If one is driving down 23 Mile Rd. after exiting I-94 Eastbound, there is a traffic light to turn left at for the "back road" to find these great stores with a roundabout. Happy Shopping at some fairly decent, well stocked and clean stores !

They…read moreloved playing in the middle areas when they used to have more for the kids to climb on and play on, they loved these metal bears and small tetter totters. So much has changed over the years. She saw stores come and go, and several restaurants come and go that we used to love so much. There was a burger place with the best espresso milk shakes. There was a stir fry place we loved so much that left that one of the kids cried real tears to see it gone. But today there is still a lot for us to come here for. We really love the addition of Barnes and Noble, where you will find us every time we come here, we love this book store. While it is smaller than some, it typically carries what we are looking for. We love PF Chang's and Shake Shack. I am excited to try Pokeworks at some point. I love Sephora. I am sad that Parisian/ Carsen's went out of business, but we do go to the new store from time to time. Even though this is a tiny outdoor mall, I do come to their events. This event was the Harry Potter Butterbeer Truck activity. I believe I found it first on the official Harry Potter site, then on local advertisements. It was so fun. We actually stood in line for two hours, but it was so nice out, it was worth it just soaking up the Spring air and sunshine and people watching. They have had reindeer and petting farms here during Christmas. I love their Christmas lights. We have gone to their very small art fairs and other outdoor community activities. As some stores close, they seem to find new ones to open and new restaurants, which is great. I hope they continue to plan community activities, we will continue to visit. I am probably here once a week since it is nearby.
