Northville flower shop's canine mascot unexpectedly dies

This was not an unusual pose for Casey, the golden retriever, who worked at Donna & Larry’s Flowers in Northville.(Photo: Submitted) When Bill the UPS driver stopped by Donna & Larry’s Flowers on Novi Road, it was a cue for Casey to make a mad dash for the front door of the Northville florist shop. Casey, the three-year-old, 82-pound golden retriever – a bundle of love and energy – went to work every day with Donna and Larry Podpora. “His biggest job was greeting customers,” said Larry. “He gave it a homey feeling here. He took the stress out of our lives.” But Casey passed away unexpectedly April 20, leaving not only his owners, but just about every customer, in shock and grief. With tears in her eyes, Donna Podpora this week showed photos and videos of Casey in the store with customers or bounding with a ball in his mouth at their Brighton home. DETROIT FREE PRESS 30-year-old Siamese named world’s oldest living cat “He added so much joy here in the shop,” Donna said. “The hurt for the customers is unbelievable.” As testament to the impact Casey made, the Podpora’s have...

Kittens & Crooners jazzed on success

Stones Event anticipates brisk sales for the remaining two shows, Paul King on May 14 and Beth Stalker on July 9 Beth Stalker at Northville’s Tipping Point Theatre. Following the sell-out of the series’ two first shows, Brand McNett Quartet and Jill Jack & The American Songbook Band, 2 Stones Event received rave reviews in response to an email survey of attendees. “The responses were very encouraging,” said Whitney McClellan-Stone of 2 Stones Event. When asked to rate the overall value of the Kittens & Crooners series kickoff, most marked “excellent” (82 percent) and “very good” (13 percent). “We were delighted, but surprised, to learn that more than one-third of the respondents had never been to the Tipping Point prior,” said McClellan-Stone. She said the comments received prove to her that the series is spot on and regular live music is wanted and needed in Northville. Two shows Crooner King began singing early in life with his father in the church choir and community variety shows. Through his early-life musical studies in piano, saxophone and guitar, and later performances with rock bands while attending Michigan State University, King’s music is always evolving. While living in East Lansing, King continued his musical education in vocal jazz with Sunny Wilk... (Hometownlife.com)
