DOWNTOWN YOUR Great
FERNDALE American
Main Street ™
In spring of 2010, Downtown Ferndale was
honored with the Great American Main Street
Award, an accolade from the National Trust for
Historic Preservation and the highest achievement
a downtown can claim. Only two Michigan cities
have won before and Downtown Ferndale was
the first ever in Oakland County to bring home
the GAMSA.
For sure, local stakeholders whooped and hollered and jumped for joy. But the joy was
not so much about winning. It was about celebrating a downtown that lives and breathes
and thinks like the people who worked so hard to change it. It was about acknowledging
a job well done in creating a place of endless possibilities. It was about the “at last”
results of years of hard work and dedication to a city that is now the nation’s best
example of what can happen when a community pulls together.
The work, of course, goes on and there is still much to do. Goals and objectives
are revisited yearly and long term plans guide the district toward its future.
The Ferndale Downtown Development Authority continues to follow the Oakland
County Main Street Program for economic redevelopment. Dedicated volunteers
continue to contribute their time, talent and enthusiasm. Join them. Unleash the
power of community to continue the progress and preserve YOUR Great
American Main Street – Downtown Ferndale.

5. Downtown Ferndale looks different these days and the Change is Good.
The iconic Woodward & Nine intersection is still the X that marks the spot,
but the city is growing up. The West Nine retail district today thrives
with a healthy mix of destination shops and must dine-at restaurants.
East Nine is now distinguished by the city’s redesigned skyline, outlined
by the restored Foley & Mansfield Law Offices, a renovated Ferndale
Public Library, and the first housing development to be built downtown
in decades – the four-story Lofts on Nine.
Woodward Avenue remains an impressive heritage gateway and is still
the best entrance a city could make. Maturing median trees softly divide
the eight lanes of the big M1 and at night, glittering lights illuminate
business neighborhoods and the destination stores and bars that demand
a longer look.
6. Digital Lane Photography
Downtown Ferndale has also undergone a change of heart. The progressive
attitude and embrace of diversity that jump started the metamorphosis
from the Ferndale of old, has embedded a mindset that warmly welcomes
an intriguing collection of human beings and the businesses that serve
them. From art galleries and ad agencies, organic grocers to the green
gardener, there is no shortage of the inspired or the inspirational,
and the synergy feeds the city’s soul.
Then there is the “Be Green” mantra. It has distinguished Downtown
Ferndale in the very best ways and influences how lives are lived,
business is conducted. Recycling bins abound, dozens of bike racks
accommodate a growing population of cycling commuters; organic baked
goods, clothes, even beer, prove how green the mentality is and must be.
7. LET’S TAKE
THIS OUTSIDE
Of course, within the evolution there is much about Downtown Ferndale
that feels comfortably familiar, like hanging out with an old friend.
Walk down Nine and you will quickly feel at home. Whether it is the
wafting aroma of homemade bread or the sounds of laughter from
an outdoor café, this is an urban center built on the spirit of its people.
They truly love their hometown downtown, its kitschy mix of old/new,
its pursuit of repurposing more and discarding less, of considering
every possibility and disregarding the restraints of pure convention.
Those that live, work and play here are the foundation for the change.
They freely open their arms and readily welcome anyone real who
wants in.
The result is Downtown Ferndale. Enjoy!
8. ART
& PHOTOGRAPHY
It is a broad stroke of styles, a full palette of genres. Ultimately, a blend
of what is practical and what purely stimulates, elevates or soothes
the inner soul. Art, here, is a contemporary gallery or a collective venture,
an artist studio or a studio where you are the artist. Identify your
aesthetic and discover your creative zone.

13. AUTOMOTIVE
As much as the urban lifestyle of Downtown Ferndale has embraced
alternative modes of transportation, the automobile is still the prevailing
ride from here to there. It is, after all, steeped in our history. Consider the
wobbly wheels of Wetmore’s (since 1928) or the enduring Hodges –
once Dodges – now Subaru. The list of automotive services is both ample
and convenient. You can buy a car, rent one, clean it, fix it or fill ‘er up –
without ever having to drive too far.

& CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS
Downtown Ferndale’s strongest attribute is its people – its entrepreneurial
businesses, its consumers, its residents. This diverse community celebrates
differences and embraces tolerance. Honesty and open mindedness are
essential. When someone needs a hand someone lends it; and team efforts
produce results, particularly a peaceful, progressive Downtown Ferndale.

These shops and shopkeepers are the purveyors of your unique shopping
experience. They will greet you at the door. Ask you questions. Proffer a
personal opinion as to what they think you might like and they will help you
find what you are looking for: a bicycle? Hand crafted jewelry? A specially
scented candle? Don’t know what you are looking for? Put another quarter
in the meter, you’re going to want to spend some time finding it.
