Had a chance to visit The Village at Grand Traverse Commons while in Traverse City last weekend. Really cool place. Check it out if you're interested.
Excellent coffee from Higher Grounds Trading Company!
"One of the largest, historic preservation and adaptive reuse redevelopments in the country is underway. A beautiful solution to urban sprawl, The Village is the unique renovation of dozens of historic buildings formerly known as the Traverse City State Hospital, and previously, the Northern Michigan Asylum. The auspicious location of this 63-acre site, centered in one of the Midwest's most desirable locations, underscores the unparalleled beauty of magnificent, century-old Victorian-Italianate architecture."
