• Lake Orion restaurants make it through water main break, but not without a price (theoaklandpress.com) — A major water main break in Auburn Hills shut down Lake Orion restaurants over Mother’s Day, and owners say diners from Birmingham and other nearby cities stayed away even after they reopened.
