Passing over I-94 on Ann Arbor Saline Road can take a few minutes with many cars merging and emerging from the highway ramps. Once across, on the right you find Oak Valley Centre. Next to Oak Valley, Village Centre is becoming increasingly interesting to shoppers. Tsai Grocery sells Asian foods in a bright and airy spot, and Home Office Furniture Creations and More helps customers design custom arrangements to suit their own rooms. Waters Place, tucked between Meijer and the highway, is populated entirely by huge boxes owned by huge chains.
Shoppers struggle to their cars with bloated plastic bags banging against their knees.
