Make-your-own-jewelry shop Charmed & Company is located on Howard Street in Dearborn.
In a strip dominated by restaurants and bars, a new business is bringing a much-needed dash of creativity to west downtown Dearborn. Charmed & Company, nestled in between Lulu by Design and 1-800-Flowers on Howard Street, is a place where people of all ages can go to make one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry using a plethora of charms, stones and pendants. The store itself is an invention of the creative mind of Nada Younes, who also owns Lulu. She said she got the idea for the new do-it-yourself shop when she realized that Lulu by Design wasn't serving the needs of all its customers. "The difficulty we came across is that it's very hard to sell finer pieces when we have a mixed clientele coming in," she explains. "I want next door to become …

Originally opened in Dearborn and gone to Allen Park, the business is back at home—and they're getting comfortable.
There’s no place like home for Gentlemen First Barbershop—and it looks like they’ve finally found a spot in Dearborn where they can stay for a long time. The family friendly but generally men-only shop first opened in 1997 on Ford Road near Fordson High School, but moved to a larger space in Allen Park six years later when business waned, explained owner Michele Jones. “Ford was my biggest demographic,” she said. “I had a lot of police and firemen, a lot of Dearborn people. Then there was nothing to bring them there.” But Allen Park “didn’t have a lot of foot traffic,” Jones said. Now, local men in need of a haircut—as well as Jones—are finding the shop’s latest space to be just right. As of last August, Gentlemen First can be found in a …

The Dearborn restaurant will close Wednesday.
Fans of Dearborn's Cheli's Chili were disappointed to hear this week that the west downtown restaurant and bar will close Wednesday.

"And this is very sad news for Dearborn, indeed." "The roof deck was fun in the summer," added Cheryl Kohs. "I hope whatever moves in will keep the casual vibe." At least one resident wasn't sad to hear the news. "Glad it…
