SCOTTY SIMPSON’S FISH & CHIPS
AND SILVIO’S ITALIAN
AMERICAN MUSEUM
Thursday, June 16, 12:30 - 4:00 pm
Scotty Simpson’s Fish & Chips has been a
Detroit landmark since 1950 and little has
changed since then. The current owner, Harry
Barber has worked at Scotty’s since 1966. He
doubles as the head cook and greeter, so be
sure to say hello to the guy at the fryer... that’s
very likely Harry! The style of the place hasn’t
changed much either. It’s like a step back in
time: from the patterned carpet to the wooden
and vinyl chairs, Scotty’s screams of the good
old days. But no one comes to this part of
town for the scenery - they come for the food
and it is timeless! This is one of the few places
left you can count on for great food at a pretty
reasonable price.
Next, on to one of our favorite destinations - Silvio’s Italian
American Museum. Let’s leave
it at that, so you can experience it for yourself!
Register by June 8.
#430516-00 Cost: $17 (includes transportation/supervision and admission to the museum.)
Lunch on your own.

STATE-OF-THE-ART
BIKE FIX-IT STATION
Last year, we were able
to purchase a stateof-the-art bike pump,
thanks to the generous donation of the
Jeff Braun Youth Sports
Foundation. It was
such a huge success, the HUNTINGTON
WOODS MEN’S CLUB has purchased a
FIXIT STATION for Mary Kay Davis Park
(York/Lincoln).
The Fixit includes all the tools necessary
to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting
brakes and derailleurs. The tools and air
pump are securely attached to the stand
with stainless steel cables and tamperproof fasteners. Hanging the bike from the
hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels
to spin freely while making adjustments.
This public bike repair station is a remarkably useful piece of hardware for the
urban commuter. It even has QR codes
for smartphone users to look up common
repair how-tos.
TENNIS PERMITS
Tennis permits may be obtained at the
Gillham Recreation Center for $2/hour.
Otherwise, the courts are first come,
first serve (get it?)

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
nity fabric in Huntington Woods. The
underlying goal is to obtain feedback on
whether the availability of different types
of housing (other than single family) to
meet the housing needs of an aging population is compatible with the character of
Huntington Woods.
To be clear, at this time the City is neither
advocating nor opposed to the idea of
alternative housing options for an aging
community. We do believe that given the
population trends which show an accelerating rate of older adults as a percentage of the population, it is valuable to
talk about what it means to age in place
sooner rather than later. We also believe
it is important to not jump to conclusions
on whether this concept is beneficial to
residents or how it might impact property
values prior to being fully informed on the
issue.
We are still determining the details regarding the public forums. A future City News
e-newsletter will include dates and times
once finalized.
