Work Stopped Temporarily On Riverfront Condo Project

Work has come to a halt on the Bluewater View Condominium project, located at Glenwood Avenue and Michigan Street in Port Huron.   A project halt tag has been posted on the gates of the project.   According to reports, the stop-work order was issued because the builders had not given the city all the necessary plans and prints, however it is noted that thus far, the developers have been working well with the city, and it is expected that work will soon resume.   Updated plans need to be submitted to the city as construction moves along to ensure proper inspections are completed.   It is expected that the city staff will be meeting with the developer this week.  At the beginning of October, an American flag was raised to the top of the building to celebrate the structure’s steel frame and foundation completion.  The former YMCA property was purchased in 2016 by Allen and Lee Stevens, and plans are for two towers; the first housing 29 units.  The planning commission has approved the plans in December of 2016 for a single two with 60 units.

Don’t Miss The Final Weekend Of “Dracula”!

Enter Stage Right wants to remind you of the final weekend  of “Dracula” by Steven Dietz and directed by Regina Spain and Scott Joseph! The show’s final performances are this weekend at The Citadel Stage, 609 Huron Ave.  This show restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate.

The Bubble Man Coming To Port Huron

Louis Pearl is one of the world’s leading bubble-ologists. He began in 1980 by making, demonstrating, and selling a toy called the Bubble Trumpet on a street corner in Berkeley, California. Eventually his toy company had 147 products with international manufacturing and distribution, but Louis found that he preferred playing with the toys over selling them. He sold Tangent Toys in 2002. Since then he has been touring the world, performing hundreds of shows every year and now he is coming to McMorran Place Sports and Entertainment Center at 701 McMorran Blvd. in Port Huron  on Friday, November 9 at 7 p.m.   This is a great show for all ages.  Tickets are on sale now-call the box office to grab your tickets 810-985-6166
