McPherson Local, the downtown Saline general store focusing on Michigan-made goods, celebrates its fifth anniversary Friday and Saturday with "deals and steals," a food truck, ice cream and more.
Founded by Jenn McPherson, McPherson Local is located at 105 N. Ann Arbor St. in a building once home to the Saline library and more recently the home of the Drowsy Parrot cafe.
McPherson said her mission is to "bring back enthusiasm for shopping small and for supporting local artists, makers and farmers." Her shop's shelves are filled with food, jewelry, home goods, bath and body products, and everything in between.
The store will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday. Friday, you can catch the Shimmy Shack food truck downtown from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Go Ice Cream will be at McPherson's from noon to 3 p.m. and there will be free face-painting all day.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
