The PAWS Clinic has a fresh new sign up on Goddard in Taylor, and it’s more than just an upgrade—it’s a big win for the animals and the families who count on them 🐾

PAWS Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission that truly matters: reducing animal homelessness and preventing needless euthanasia by providing high-quality, affordable spay/neuter services in our community. When more pets get fixed and vaccinated, it helps prevent unwanted litters, lowers shelter overcrowding, and keeps more animals safe and healthy.

They focus on spay/neuter and vaccine services, and they stay busy because the need is real. If you’ve been looking for an affordable, trusted option for your pet, PAWS Clinic is a solid place to start:
21210 Goddard Rd, Taylor, MI 48180
(313) 451-8200
Appointments are required, and their website lays out how to request one.

Now about the sign—this is exactly why good signage matters. A clear, professional sign makes it easier for people to find you, trust you, and take action. We’re proud to be part of projects like this because it ramps up visibility for an organization doing important work, and it shows how the right sign can directly support a real cause.

If you support affordable pet care and want to help the mission, here are a few easy ways:
Share this post so more local pet owners know where to go
Tag someone who’s been needing spay/neuter or vaccines
Leave PAWS Clinic a review if you’ve had a good experience
And if you’re a business or nonprofit that needs more traffic and more calls, let’s talk—we build signs that get attention and get results 🙂

This is the kind of crew you build a reputation on. 💪❄️

Even with a plow guy burying the install area (and clearly knowing you were coming), our team didn’t get rattled, didn’t make excuses, and didn’t walk away. They carved it out, stayed on task, and still set that Merkle Funeral Service, Inc sign clean and solid!

From the pics you can literally see the story:
• sign location completely packed in by heavy snowbanks
• our guys digging out and making the space workable
• sign installed straight and finished like it’s supposed to be

That’s craftsmanship + grit. Not giving up is exactly why our work stands out!

Good work, guys!

End of an era and the start of something new.

After years of being a neighborhood staple, JJ’s Pizza has officially closed its chapter. A lot of memories were made there — family dinners, late nights, and countless slices shared with the community.

Now, a new name is up on the building. Cottage Inn Gourmet Pizza has stepped in, bringing a fresh concept to a familiar spot. Michigan-born and around since 1948, Cottage Inn is known for handcrafted dough made daily, premium cheese blends, fresh ingredients, and a menu built around bold, gourmet pizzas.

While the sign has changed, the location keeps doing what it’s always done — serving pizza to the community. It’s a new vibe, a new menu, and a new chapter for the building.

We love helping local spaces transition into what’s next, and we’re proud to be part of this one.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Cottage Inn.

That original pylon at Fort and Grove was erected in the late 1950s, when Fort Street was the commercial backbone of Downriver and Wyandotte was exploding with new homes, families, and small businesses. These tall, multi-panel signs were not decoration. They were built to be seen from a distance, to guide traffic, and to signal that this corner was a destination. Before enclosed malls existed, this was how people shopped — one parking lot, dozens of storefronts, and a towering sign telling you that everything you needed was right here.

The red AP at the top represented the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, better known as A&P. At its peak, A&P was the largest grocery chain in the world. When A&P anchored a shopping center, it meant the company believed that intersection was part of the future of the city. Fort and Grove earned that investment, and for decades this center served as a true community hub — groceries, furniture, clothing, hardware, pharmacy, and places to eat, all in one walkable strip.

What makes this sign special is not just its design, but its survival. These pylons were engineered with thick steel and deep concrete footings because they were meant to last for generations. Modern codes no longer allow signs this tall, but this one remains because it was built right from the beginning. Keeping it and rebuilding on its original structure is not cutting corners — it is honoring craftsmanship and continuity.

Now the name changes, but the role stays the same. Wyandotte Crossing will carry forward what this corner has always been: a place where people stop, gather, shop, and connect. When the restored sign is revealed, it will not be a throwback for nostalgia’s sake. It will be a statement that this intersection still matters, that it is alive again, and that something worth discovering is happening here.

Stay tuned for the reveal.
