Donut Landmark Returning
A familiar corner in Lexington is getting its donuts back. The long-missed Lakeview Donut Shop spot on Lakeshore Road near Cedar and Birchcrest is being rebuilt as Lexington Donuts. New owner Juli Corlew bought the landmark property for $170,000 and invested about $400,000 to rebuild it after the old structure was found unsafe. The new 1,500-square-foot shop doubles the size of the original. Construction began last fall, and Corlew hopes to open by March, serving fresh donuts and breakfast early each morning.

New Leader of Blue Water Rescue Mission
Port Huron native Demetri Stafford is returning home to lead the Blue Water Area Rescue Mission as its new executive director. Stafford brings nearly a decade of leadership and ministry experience after serving in Texas. He takes over from Interim Director Renee Pettinger, who helped reopen the shelter in ’23 after it shut down during the pandemic. BWARM has since served more than 400 homeless men across St. Clair County, offering food, shelter, and support. Stafford says he’s honored to continue the Mission’s work.
