Watch for Patch Features on These Dearborn Businesses

Here's a look at the local businesses Patch readers told us we should write about.

We asked, and you answered.

Instead of us picking which Dearborn businesses to feature on the pages of Patch this holiday season, we asked readers to help us decide. They responded with 20 nominations—everything from coffee shops and restaurants to barbers and bookstores.

One thing was clear from every nomination: Dearborn residents love their local businesses.

One reader said they "Could spend the day, and my entire paycheck" at Rodegher's Used Books or Material Girls (check out features we've run on the bookstore and the fabric shop on Patch)

Another reader had glowing things to say about PostNet Dearborn: "Lynne Killion and her crew are top notch...they're friendly, knowledgeable, and have a wide variety of promotional products that will make any business get noticed. If you think PostNet is only for copying and mailing, then you haven't visited PostNet lately."

We're happy to hear about some new businesses in Dearborn, and to be reminded of some other great ones that have been around for a while. We could only pick five to be featured in December, but keep watching Dearborn Patch for more great business features in 2013 and beyond.

Here's the five you'll see features on in December:

  1. LaFontaine Automotive Group
  2. Gentlemen First Barbershop
  3. Alcamo's Market
  4. Dearborn Collision
  5. Bistro 222

Look for a business feature every Sunday in December, and be sure to sign up for the Dearborn Patch newsletter to make sure you don't miss them!

Excellent choices!

I can't wait to write them, either! It was hard to narrow it down with so many nominations, so we hope to get to some of the other businesses in the near future, too!

Excellent way to learn about businesses in the area which I am not knowledgeable about~ Thanks for focusing on locally owned which I love to support!

I'm more interested in finding out why there are so many vacant store fronts in Dearborn.

Wasn't a major portion of the deficit a result of the failure of students to repay $$$millions inRead More student loans? There is a rumor that HFCC wants to forgive those loans and pass on the debt to Dearborn taxpayers. Was there due diligence regarding the awarding of these loans?

Way too much for a college having financial problems.

Hasn't even worked one day? Not one day in 15 years? Really? Not even credit for one day? When IRead More worked at the Press & Guide (which eliminated my position in a budget restructuring that has continued under various corporate owners at the P&G for a decade and a half, resulting in them moving their offices to Southgate and more recently just out-and-out eliminating their editor, sports editor and photographer) we had a policy of no anonymous letters to the editor. This was done because, while everyone has the right to express their opinion, putting a real name with an opinion meant people displayed more decorum and, well, less cowardice than is allowed in online comments from the shadows. Joseph, the benefit of post-employment health care after just eight years of service may have, in the early 1990s, been more acceptable in some way I can't figure (retention of key department heads has been cited as a reason, as was that it apparently mirrored a benefit for state officials), but it clearly was part of the excesses of Wayne County that was unjustifiable and unsustainable in the 2000s. This practice was ended two years ago by a resolution I introduced.

The original comment has been deleted because it violates our terms of service.

Yeah, unless the drinking trough is filled with taxpayer water.
