You know what they say about Ferndale in the springtime. All kinds of things!

My personal favorite happenings have been the opening of the Rust Belt Market and the Valentine Vodka Martini Bar and the switch in color in the trees, sky and flowers from grey to everything but grey. The next cool thing to talk about is the Oakland, coming to West Nine Mile soon.

In this little slide show full of Ferndale, someone turned 30 at the Emory. I know that only because there was big balloon with 30 on it.

And... I recently found out that Ferndale residents could check out movies for FREE from the library. So a Clint Eastwood western and Jurassic Park were the obvious choices.

When the weather got warmer, it's like all the people got shot out of a cannon and landed in downtown Ferndale. Of course those cannon balls weren't cannon balls but people walking with baby strollers, eating ice cream and hipster bike riders.
