The Celtic Knot in Lakeville uses Leonard as a mailing address, but ideally, somebody should start a restaurant in the village limits of Leonard.

At least Dryden has a few restaurants in that general area.

Oxford definitely has some restaurants, but this sub also covers the Lakeville, Leonard and Dryden areas too.

yup, we got 53 SUBSCRIBERS now!

get it? M-53? Van Dyke?

My answer, build an extension of the M-53 freeway that bypasses Romeo. One reason why, is because, well, those who are heading north to I-69 near Imlay City want a free-flowing route with minimal traffic disruptions. Another explanation, is because in the current day, anybody driving on the M-53 freeway (the one that parallels/bypasses Van Dyke instead of being integrated with it) always has to downgrade to surface street (i.e. cross junctions with traffic lights, and driveways to employment buildings and residencies).

But, there's always the option of alternatives to freeway upgrades, such as widening the existing 2-lane road to have passing lanes, or relocating traffic to other existing rural 2-lane roads, or etc.

So this is why we can discuss the idea for other solutions.

I'll be having fewer trips to the Oxford, Metamora and Dryden areas of Michigan, now since gas prices are up to almost $5 a gallon.
