I always thought Brighton had a "cool" vibe to it, despite being so far from Detroit. It's too bad you didn't get photos of the new developments downtown. I remember a couple of areas of townhomes and mid-rise residential stuff a few years back. Nice pics though, Zachariah.

I like little Brighton. I know people who commute from Brighton to downtown Detroit for work. It takes over an hour each way, but in normal traffic only takes about 25 minutes.

Oh well, it's a neat little downtown, and I hope that the community continues to protect itself against the plague of sprawl.

Brighton has always held and interesting place on the way too and from Detroit. To me, it's always been a gateway to the region. I knew when coming from Lansing that I had arrived, and when going back to Lansing that I was leaving the area. And, being in between Flint and Ann Arbor on 23 magnifies that feeling.

It's really too bad to see Howell, Brighton, and the rest of the small town being totally surrounded and ate up by sprawl. Fortunately, all have been able to keep their little downtown's in tact. The traffic out there is just terrible, now, though. I know people who live here that commute to both Lansing and Detroit. The implications of those commutes is far reaching. It just shows that the two metro's sprawl will connect along I-96 before two long...:(

Great photos, Zach!

My girlfriend and I went to Brighton today to eat out and see a movie so I thought I'd bring my camera along to do some picture taking. Here are some of the development that you are talking about:

We had a lot of time to blow off between eating and the time that the movie started so we took a walk through the neighborhoods near downtown. Here are some of the neat houses:
