Thank you to the Northville Ambassadors, our newest team, who will be out and keeping us litter free. Read more on page 4. Thank you to Jake and Kyle, our new seasonal staff, for keeping the flowers watered and pulling the endless supply of weeds. Come on down and see what’s new! Town Square is dressed in pink this summer. What a great place to enjoy a cold drink, a carry out meal, and a good conversation with friends. Come on down and relax for a while! Great downtowns do not happen by accident In 2006 the Northville Downtown Strategic Plan was developed and represents a vision for the future of Downtown Northville. The first project of that plan was the new Town Square, completed in the fall of 2007. Continuing with the Strategic Plan two additional projects are scheduled to begin in 2010. The Streetscape Enhancement Project is anticipated to begin mid July with improvements made to Mary Alexander Court and S. Center Street. Improvements include new sidewalks, streets, street trees and amenities. Construction will continue in the spring of 2011 with the same improvements to Main Street and N. Center Street. The East Main Street Walkway Project is projected to begin in the fall to create a pedestrian walkway from the Marquis Theatre parking lot to E. Main Street. The former Girly Daze space at 125 E. Main will be transformed into a two-story open walkway. The project is currently in the final design stages. We’ll keep you informed on the progress of both projects with information being posted on the DDA website. 1 NORTHVILLE TIMES June 2010 I T ’ S T I M E TO P L AY W I T H U S !

Come enjoy all the amenities that Western has to offer with your fellow Northville Chamber Members and Friends. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to play one of the area’s finest private golf courses.

Gran Malbec 2006 Varietals Malbec 100% Alcohol: 14.4% Aging: 12 months in French barrels Unique Production: 26,600 bottles Cellaring: 8 years Tasting Notes: This wine shows an intense and deep ruby color with violet hues. Intense fruit notes on the nose, reminiscent of plum, red fruit, compote and jam, balanced with the contribution of the oak ageing. It is of great elegancy and personality on the palate, where the attributes of this Gran Malbec Argentino are expressed in a complex manner. Good marriage with Mediterranean bruschetta, pasta, semi-hard cheese and grilled meat. Our thanks and appreciation goes to the following groups who are currently participating in the program. • • • Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Varietals Cabernet Sauvignon 100% Alcohol: 13.5% Tasting Notes: Vineyards at the foot of the Andes and their characteristic microclimates deliver wines like our Cabernet, which shows a brilliant red color. On the nose, there are aromas of black pepper, truffles, "calahorra" pepper, leather, and subtle notes of cedar. It displays round in the mouth with ripe tannins, and a gracefully, balanced and long finish. Good marriage with all kinds of red meat, game dishes, and hard cheeses. • • • Torrontes 2007 Varietals Torrontes 100% Alcohol: 13.8% Winemaking : Classic, Cold Pre-fermentation maceration Tasting Notes: Expressive, fresh, and elegant Torrontes, where floral scents, fruit flavors and a citrus touch are combined to harmoniously reach the perfect balance. Good marriage with seafood, sushi, Asian dishes (Thai and Tandoori food), hot pasties and also as an aperitif. Main Center Family Medicine has adopted the south bed in the Center Street Island.
